OA three days in a row. ED on the same side was extremely frustrating today.
Came up with PITCHER, CAPTIVE, VERTICAL, HERALDIC, CHAPTER, GRAVITATE, GRAPHITE, RECAPTIVE, CAREGIVER, GLACIER, RELATIVE, RETRACTIVE and GRAPHICAL.
Sad that I didn’t get a chance to use ARCHIPELAGO (no O in today’s puzzle!)
Verdict – Telegraph: At the closing Clyde was concerned that the jury high-fived the prosecutor. But when they didn’t order from the sandwich menu, he knew his goose was cooked.
Yeah. I saw that almost Archipelago also. TARDIVE-EPIGRAPHICAL for me.
veldt-telegraphic
Funny, I was working backwards from TELEGRAPHIC after putting EPIGRAPHICAL aside, saw VELDT, but didn’t think it would work for some reason. Ended up with VERDICT TELEGRAPHIC.
Dictative epigraphical. What a slog to get there
OA today.
OA here too, without too much futzing.
DIGRAPHIC CERVELAT almost immediately
Sadly, the latter is not an example of the former, but at least it’s a sausage!
Haha, a good one.
DICTATIVE EPIGRAPHICAL
DIVERTICLE* EPIGRAPH
*Websters
This one is a bit of a wishful overthinking
DIVER RECTIGRAPHICAL*
*Rectigraph is in OED.
VERDICT TELEGRAPH
DICTAGRAPH* HALVE
*common var. of dictograph per Wikipedia.
“Dictionary of Military Terms” 1918.
PLAGIARATIVE* ECHARD
*this is something of a trendy nonce word circulating in online chatrooms and in a recent book of poetry. You may have seen the quote: “There is no Generative AI, there is only Plagiarative AI.”
Food for thought. Or nought. 🙂
Echard is soil water.
VERDICT – TELEGRAPH
Send up and send down.
Same
Fired for phoning it in.
Or
Morse is tapped out.
