The answers are:
PROFILEDDEMAGOGUE
perfumed – dialogue
Same sweet talk.
Made all the sweeter by it being a quick solve.
Or — dare I say it? — the more concise perfumed – dialog
Same here (perfumed-dialog) and I don’t think I’ve ever so quickly found a ‘perfect’ (no double-use letters except the bridge letter) solution that wasn’t the OA. Made my day!
same here but for me it was the headbanger that SUSANM predicted yesterday.
PERFUMED / DIALOG as well
You can save two letters with Perfumed Dialog (like Osric’s). Also found the OA, Profiled Demagogue (like every news outlet does), plus Prideful Logogram (the rainbow, obviously), Programed Direful (viz Fox again), Frugal Loperamide (generic Kaopectate), and Feudal Lipogram (but the game’s actually a lot older than that).
Word Play:
7-letters:
_u_p_ _ _
Clue: The reason…
suppose ?
Hey, PGGIE,
WRONG! 🥴😵💫
purpose
WRONG! 🥴😵💫
It sure looks right to me 😩
👍
It could be. But, I had another word in mind. 😉
Suppose was my guess too.
🤗😊
Clue 2: The cause…
culprit ?
WOW!!! You got it! Culprit, indeed!
I’m very glad you got it! Yay!!! 👍👍🤓
☢️🌹
Hey RF and PG!
I know I’m hours late, but another word that could fit, I think, is
SUBPLOT
It seems God has a sometimes subtle subplot going in all subsequent sequences.
🤗😊
Purpose
🤗😊
OA. another Trump reference ?
Not so perfumed from the ORANGE T**D ;-))))
UEI
DON
GFA
STL
Hint: The specimen studied.
ISOLATED — DEFOULING ??
Hey, SIR BILL DUFFIN,
You got the half of the OA. It is 13/2. 🙂
Congrats on finding a solution. 👍🤓
☢️🌹
FUNGI — ISOLATED?
I ruled out words ending in ‘I’ until you forced me to look for really short one!
😉
Double Thumbs Up!! 👍👍
FUNGI – ISOLATED. WOW!!! You got the OA! Yay!!! 🤓🤗😊
☢️🌹
PROGRAMED DIREFUL
Me too!
Me three!
Same. Once again I have expanded my vocabulary, with “direful.”
Huh. I would have thought ‘PROGRAMMED’ was only spelled with double ems.
Same here
Same
Same.
Yes! Headbanger it was!!!! Took me most of the day 😎 but finally got it with two words that didn’t even seem right.
Same here. Had tried with profiled but didn’t see dialog.
PRIDEFUL LOGOGRAM. hats off to all who found the simpler solutions
PRIDEFUL – LOGOGRAM it was today!
Slight variation: PRIDEFUL – LIPOGRAM. “Mine is better than yours!” 🙂
PRIDEFUL LOGOGRAM too after failing with PROFILED, IMPERIAL, PALMED, MIDLIFE, FILMED, REPROGRAMED and others.
PRIDEFUL LOGOGRAM as well
Same for me. Loved prideful, logogram not so much lol
PERFUMED—DIALOG(UE)
sweet pleasantries
PRIDEFUL—LOGOGRAM
valiant symbol
PRIDEFUL—LIPOGRAM
valiant missing symbol
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lipogram
Uncannily accurate TI on the OA!
٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
perfumed dialog
PRIDEFUL — LOGOGRAM
Radiogram mopeful
radiogram – mopeful as well
Ooh, that’s a good one!
Feudal lipogram
16/2.FIREDAMP PROLOGUE
DIAGRAM – MOPEFUL
I didn’t expect MOPEFUL to be accepted.
Same here.
PROFILED–DADGUM*
Love it1
I was terribly disappointed when Dadgum was rejected! Dadgummit!
PRIDEFUL – LOGOGRAM
Character flaw.
PERFUMED DIALOG (or Dialogue). Very fast after getting DIALOGUE + FRUMP unable to connect.
Foglamp Prideful. But since they won’t accept foglamp it will have to be Fog Glamp Prideful instead.
Mine is:
filopodium malgre
Kind of surprised that LB took malgre, since I Think malgre is a French preposition – I don’t speak French so I can’t claim to be sure.
Good one McBee! Malgre is a new one for me.
PS: And it was a rainbow. 😉
A ten pound rainie 🌈 – wow!
Fly fishing?
I haven’t made the chance yet to fly fish.
No, it was a regular rod and reel. Got him with a bright yellow lure. I forget what I had on the lure that day. I haven’t tried fly fishing yet either. 🎣
Wikipedia has interesting article about rainbow trout – I had always thought they were native to North Carolina / Smokey Mountains streams – nope, they started stocking them a long time ago. But they’ve done well around the world.
FIREDAMP-PROLOGUE
After chasing many false leads.
Same. Found Firedamp quickly, but it took me a hot minute to remember prologue.
Perfumed-dialogue.
OA and it is a very trumpy TI, IMO!
I had DIREFUL LIPOGRAM, not sure if its a difficult word puzzle or bad health news.
😂
Feudal-lipogram…feudl-lipogrm
Log – Glamp – Prideful. At least I like the TI!
OA after lamenting that DEMIGOD wouldn’t work. Instantly knew it would be OA, and instantly had a certain over-profiled demagogue in mind…
