LEXICOGRAPHY 12/1 😀
Me too! Made my day…
Yes me too! Doing a happy dance.
Ooooh me, too
Lexicographer 12/1
Oops typo
Lexicography
Wow! That is awesome. First 12/1 I have seen. I got the official.
Same… the absolutely best answer.
Lexicography
Yeah, at long last; I couldn’t quite believe it. Grats to anyone else who got it!
Got it!!!!!
Great going, TK; you owed it to yourself!
Thanks!
Stuck on geographic/geography/geographical for too long. But kinda glad I got the one word.
It was on the 185 word list between kitchenwards and locksmithery!
Oh, let me have those two guys join the rest of the lot on my list… Getting there, slowly but steadily (or where can I get that precious list in full?) 😛
Challenged my son to find the list. However, electronic dictionaries are fickle. (Lexicography😂) Really amazing ones do not include plural words. I made him pluralize all 10-11 letter words in the amazing dictionary. He wanted to use a lesser dictionary that missed tons of words but included bankruptcies. His first paying programming job. I gave him 20 bucks.
I got me just short of 100 (those will keep me going) & am plowing on… 😉
I just got it. First time ever with a one word solution. I should quit while I’m ahead… Nah!
I got GEOGRAPHICAL first and was looking at LEXICO- words to follow on, but rejected LEXICOGRAPHY as too long because of the duplication of letters. Didn’t notice that it was a pangram, because sometimes I’m dumb.
Got the official within a few minutes after that.
GEOGRAPHIC CALYX
Lexicography. Nice feeling.
Lexicography lexicography lexicography!!!
Exilic Cacography
I really feel the need to extol the dignity of those who came up with two (or more) word solutions & didn’t jump on the one-word bandwagon in hindsight: You, folks, are beautiful!
And, again, both components of the word are Greek: Lexicon (:dictionary) & Graphe (:writing, scripture)!
LEXICOGRAPHY
🥇🏆🥇
It finally came!
In celebration of today’s 12/1 solution:
ROYAL—LEXICOGRAPHY
PALEOGEOGRAPHICAL—LEXICOGRAPHY
LEXICOGRAPHICAL—LEGACY
☺
If we want two words, there are lots of great modifiers:
GLACIAL – LEXICOGRAPHY
CHORAL – LEXICOGRAPHY
LYRICAL – LEXICOGRAPHY
CYCLICAL – LEXICOGRAPHY
And, we’re building a sort of lexicography of our own with this delightful daily square.
I’m so mortified by missing Lexicography – probably the only one-word answer we’ll ever see, certainly the only perfect one – that I can’t bear to talk about what I DID get. Maybe I should just retire from the field.
Oh, all right. Paleographic Calyx. Maybe half a point for thematic integrity. But what could possibly have more thematic integrity in this game of words than Lexicography? It’s totally Meta. I weep.
I so empathize, Bernie! Back on the horse is where you wanna be! (Downright Greek as well, after all…)
There was a one word solution (non-official) I came up with a couple of years ago… but at the time I didn’t know about this message board and couldn’t compare with others. It was a long funny word, definitely not a pangram.
Does anyone remember?
I mean definitely not a perfect pangram; there were 5 or 6 repeated letters.
Here’s a consolation puzzle for you, Bernie. Another DW special, this time with a 12/1:
EAB-TUM-ODS-IXR
We’re hitting our straps, here! I found it in 10 sec, without even laying it out in a box (well spoiled as the plot was)!
Bravo!
Got it, but only after laying it out in the magic box. Thanks, DW! Glad I returned to the scene of yesterday’s crime.
WHAT IS THIS MAGIC BOX YOU SPEAK OF?
in response to Chloe (nice Greek name btw), nothing fancy (or fishy, for that matter). Just using pen & paper to formulate a letter-box… 😉
When facing toward the rising sun
According to some language sleuth:
This was ‘deks’, a language root
That signified both ‘right’ and ‘south.’
In 1610 it was endowed
To mean renouncement of duty.
Though later, the tricky word turned ‘round
To signify “quite skillfully.”
Now preface with equality:
Our two hands’ clever symmetry.
Didn’t get lexicography. But kudos to all who did. Impressive!
Lexicography… At last found one single word using all letters.
I opened the puzzle, tried a couple of common combinations, and in less than a minute … BOOM! I couldn’t believe it. An actual 12/1! Then I logged on here, and … BOOM! I couldn’t believe it. It wasn’t the official answer! 🤣
Same here, DW, incredible! I was about to give up, a lot of possible words lacked one letter, e.g. no N for Lexicon, but I’d already seen -graph and lo and behold, a one-word solution! I was sure it’d be the official too!
I, too was very curious what the official would be! Glad we do not have to wait until the next day!
When you belt out a 12/1, there isn’t a lot to be waiting for… 😉 I kind of expected it NOT to be the official solution, given they’re frequently not the most efficient ones (& it doesn’t get much more efficient than that!).
The moment I found LEXICOGRAPHY I thought to myself, ‘that’s a good one, let’s see what it leaves us with. Wait, what? Nothing? All dots connected? I’ll take it!’
Anyone else go back and put in LEXICOGRAPHY more than once just to feel the perfect pangram magic? 🥰
Also now my new favorite word (replacing onomatopoeia). Word nerd joy!
Banging my head against the wall. Missed the elegant LEXICOGRAPHY, but got the official solution fairly quickly.
I was so pleased to find the official quickly, did not think to keep looking for the elusive 12/1. Rats. Well done to all who did!
Happy to share my excitement too!! First time that I got the one word answer!!
LEXICOGRAPHY here as well. First time ever with a one-order. Very psyched.
Went down geograph—— rabbit hole and never saw calyx. So glad i gave up and found the one word never been so happy to know so few botanical terms
Hooray for the unicorn!
Spelling bee brought me down to earth. Struggled with all day, tried invicted inverted.
Blind spot I guess
That WAS a tough one, AJDetroit! I empathize!
HELIOGRAPHIC – CACHEXY
The one-word answer for November 13 is LEXICOGRAPHY.
LYRICAL LEXICOGRAPHY 🙂
PRECONCEIVED – DEAFENS
I was very disappointed that the one-word solution was not acceptable, according to the NYT Games website.
