MYTHOI-INDUCER
INTRODUCER-RHEUMY
Hermeneutic comedy
Same
Mythi Introduce
Oh yay, I got this too. Had to revisit. Actually took me longer to get comedy
INTRODUCER – RHEUMY. Can’t believe I didn’t see document when I found thirty. Ugh.
I also had INTRODUCER-RHEUMY
So many good words here, none of which work. Doctrine, introduction, rheumy, reduction, youth, drymouth, and my favorite: erection.
My favorite is RHODODENDRON. It repeats letters so many times it doubles the size. A padded word for sure.
*MYTHER-REINTRODUCE
*MYTHER good in OED, Wiktionary

Found INDUCTION but got really stuck on HOMOCENTRIC (Starting with YOUTH but left with a lonely ‘D’) and CENTRICITY, oy
HOMOCENTRIC-CUDY*
*CUDY good in Wiktionary

*RYTHME good in OED, Wiktionary

INTRODUCER – RHEUMY
Inducement – threnody
Nice one! I couldn’t manage to pair THRENODY
Wow, I got Inducement and I do know the word Threnody but probably wouldn’t have ever thought of it. Nice 2w solution!

OA, and kind of surprised I got it. Spelled-out numbers are another thing that always seem to escape my attention for some reason.
OA.
same experience here
Same. Also compound words.
MYTHIC – CONDUCER*
Yes, I thought I had solved the puzzle with this one. I was surprised that CONDUCER was not accepted.
On a related note: MYTHIER* RECONDUCTION
MYTHIER/ MYTHER- REDUCTION
REINTRODUCE – ERYTHRONIUM
Beautify the lily garden.
CODEINE — ERYTHRONIUM
Got hung up on CENTRICITY, MOUTHED, and RECORDER, before finding the ERYTHRO suffix.
Nice!
I looked up -IUM words, but only managed ENDOCRINE – ERYTHRONIUM
Mythi + introduced
Surprised mythi was accepted as mythier was not. Spend forever trying to find a match for reintroduced/reintroduction
I tried REINTRODUCED — DRYMOUTH but the latter is two words.
Tried DRY-MOUTH too and saw it was two words
Would have saved several hours if DRYMOUTH was a word. Battled this one all damn day and finally got to the OA. But not before trying and failing to finish among other words –
Concentricity
Conduction
Circuitry
Continence
Coherence
Monocentric
Monomeric
Mouthier
Mythic
Orthodontic
Denouement
Homocentric
Homonym
Humored
Introduce
Introduction
Indemnity
Rectum
And so so many more.
Matt, did same with dry mouth/dry mouthed. Got document and thirty so far apart in time I didn’t put them together.
Nearly the same solve. Mythi – Introduce. Only slightly more efficient. Now moving on to other pursuits.
mythi – introduce
after being unable to pair mythic
OA
HERMENEUTIC COMEDY
Wanted to use THRENODY but haven’t found a match yet.
But came up with
THRENODE ECUMENICITY *
(*MW)
Oh I see Stuart above found one for Threnody. Kudos
Omg, I missed Document, though I had other -ment words, and Doc, oy… tons of 3w’s – the nearest to the OA I got was INDUCEMENT THIRTY YON (or YOU).
CONDUCE was ok, but not -r (MYTHIC CONDUCER would’ve been 2w), so my shortest 3w was MYTHIC CONDUCE ERE.
Code – erythronium
Decode erythronium Duce/deduce/reduce/induce erythronium.
Days like this get lots without OA. Wish I’d known or tried mythi
Myther(wictionary) reduction
Myther reintroduction. Myther reconduction
Duh homocentricity
Homeymouthed(mw) doric
Honeymouthed
Why is this game so haaaaaaard!
MOUTHED
DOCTRINE
EYE
Yes Kandace, it seems to be getting harder every day! I gave up. I did see eye(d). I thought there might be a color in there so tried HONEY. Imagine my surprise to find HONEYEYED is not a word nor an eye color…….but HONEYED is a word but not an eye color. Lol
OA
Defeated today. I also found many words but could not pair them. MYTHIC, HEROICITY, INCREMENT, etc., etc.
