Funny!
I only got QUERYING. Tried in vain to find a pair for SQUIRMY.
i think ZYMOGEN is a Mark word … i saw it in a word list and went with it … from Wikipedia:
“biochemistry, a zymogen, also called a proenzyme, is an inactive precursor of an enzyme.
A zymogen requires a biochemical change for it to become an active enzyme.”
😎
i think i remember Mark having a background in Biochem … i’m just a dirt engineer … and anti-floodwater engineer.
😎
Looks like you’ll have plenty of work, the way things are going!
Probably you are very right Bernie … hopefully i can work my way out of a job on the flooding thing but the scale of the problem and 4,000 plus years of history says Not any time soon.
Hey there McBee! ☕ After looking up ZYMOGEN, I thought SQUIRMY would fit that biological theme better.
P.S. Physics, and Math, for me. 🙂
Thanks!
i know that you Know a lot of biochem and other related words … i’m still learning!!!
PS – i really like the new emojis … especially the derivative and blowhard ones from a couple of days ago … i don’t seem to have any like those on my phone … they look cool 😎

QUEYS SERMONIZING
Today’s AntiHero
Brought to you by the letter R.
===============================
The RUMORMONGER
is REUSING his RUINOUS ROGUERY.
Trying to REENGINEER² the REGENESIS
by RESIZING the ROGUE REGIONS.
In a RIGOROUS, yet RUINOUS way,
he RINSES, he ROUSES, he REZEROS.
After RENEGING on his RESINOUS RERISING°,
he finally RESIGNS from his RISQUE RUMOURING.
The End.
🙂
Mark,
What about REBEL, REVOLT, RESIST, RISE UP ?? 🙂 🙂 🙂
Those would have been good additions to the story. And I realized later I used RUINOUS twice. That was an accident, and one where I wished I could have edited after the fact.
ZYMOGENS — SQUIRM
LB refused to take ZYMOGENESIS
I also found Queys sermonizing.
Fun!
Gives sacred cows a whole new meaning.
QUOYS-SERMONIZING (16/2)
“A piece of land that was once part of a common pasture but was enclosed and cultivated for farming. The word comes from the Old Norse word kví, which means “an enclosure for cattle”.
I’ll take it
There are sermons in the rocks and flowers, so why not in the cattle enclosures?
Same after an all day struggle. Quoys was a guess but I knew someone here would educated me! Thanks.
A fail today. Best I could do was QUORUMS-SYRINGE-EZINE.
QUEYS SERMONIZING
Queys…young cows
Quoys sermonizing
I also got
ZYMOGENS – SQUIRE (14)
Tried ZYGOSIS from Scrabble dict. But not accepted. Wound up with QUORUMS SIZING GYRO
Correction: GYRE not GYRO.
Settled for 3 today. MOSQUES – SIZING – GORY
ZYMOGENS – SQUIRM
After not being able to find a two-word solution I settled for a poetic
MOURNER REQUIRES SYZYGY
MOURNS SEQUINS SYZYGY
Mine not as poetic as yours….
OA. Found GIZMOS early, but spent a long time looking at INQUIRY/ENQUIRY and looking for ~IZE words. Glad I didn’t give up today.
