Official Φ 🙂 Φ 🙂
then
MALONYL—LUMPFISH

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopterus_lumpus
PHI INFAMOUSLY and FASHIONS SLUMPY
Official Φ, then
MALONYL—LUMPFISH
It turns out the lumpfish knows algebra:
POLYNOMIAL—LUMPFISH
Ax²+Bx+C=0
☺
Great… a lumpfish is smarter than I am 🙄
Polynomial lumpfish is excellent!
Polynomial Lumpfish for me.
These aquatic animals are adorably pensive-looking–
now we know why.
Just the official. But at least it materialized quickly.
The official manifested itself very quickly today.
Same. Just official.
Same. It’s a two sips day – not even a quarter way through the coffee 🙂
Phi Infamously
Yeah, official answer came to me quite quickly today.
Official, and instanter – a gift of time on a busy day – but I’m enjoying folks’ alternate answers. There go those models, shlumping down the runway, faces as vacant as a lumpfish.
fashions – slumpy
Official, but only after cussing at the puzzle for not accepting LUMPFISH – HYPONOIA. Don’t the puzzle makers appreciate Greek? Or maybe they suffer from hyponoia.
In other news, Spelling Bee today was just to my taste! Quick enough to justify spending the time. I wish there were more like that.
Agreed. It’s a shame these word games use such abbreviated dictionaries.
I found that wrinkle about the English meaning of the term HYPONOIA compelling; and just because I wasn’t aware of the condition, doesn’t mean I don’t experience it -at least occasionally. 😉
It’s a literal expression of its components’ amalgamation, HYPO standing for ‘under’ & NOUS for ‘mind’, ‘sense’, ‘mindfulness’, etc.
The Greek meaning -akin to the second English definition- is that of ‘suspicion’, a belief based on an insufficient body of evidence.
That’s what I suspected…
Was so sure that my discovery of PHI INFAMOUSLY was going to be this niche alternative answer that rocked the Letterboxed world haha… nope. It’s the ruddy official one.
I guess I thought this because this is how much I went through before I found it:
MASHUP PYLON (F, I)
SASHIMI IMPULSION (F, Y)
and:
ASHY
FAMISH

FASHIONS

I, too was surprised that it was the official. ‘PHI’ just seemed so . . . ‘tacked on.’
And PHI is the Golden Ratio (infamously!). Things are very mathematical today.
Good catch Walt!
(1+√5)/2
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio
I need a polynomial lumpfish to explain the math to me!
FASHIONS SLUMPY, not that I’m proud of it. At least it was quick.
Got polynomial quickly but as there is no lumpfish in my lexicon was left stumped. Then got the official. Was unaware that phi was the golden ratio. As an architect I should have known. Thanks for that Walt!
Fashions Slumpy here too
FLASHLAMP — POISONOUSLY
