The answers are:
DYSFUNCTIONNECK
Fecundity/ yoks
Same, “yoks” is a new word for me, just a wild guess.
Fecundity Yoicks
I second FECUNDITY – YOICKS. Didn’t think Yoks stood a chance of being an actual word.
Don’t even try it cause I couldn’t imagine it was a real word. That cost me an hour til I got DISINFECTIONS SUCKY, which was its own reward.
*OUTFIND-DYSKINETIC*
*OUTFIND good in Collins, Wiktionary, Scrabble US (TWL)
*DYSKINETIC good in Merriam-Webster, Collins
INFECTIOUS-STICKYD*
*STICKYD good in OED
*KENOTICISTS-STUDIFY
*KENOTICISTS good in OED, Merriam-Webster, Collins
DYSFUNCTION – NECK … loll
LOL!
Exactly!
JAF and Judy, glad you’re still here!
😄
OA immediately.
What a crick.
I was close to the OA – Dysfunction – Nuke. I think I was a little influenced by the conference in DC on Monday, run by a giant dysfunction talking about nukes.
🙂
DISINFECTIONS SUCKY
Me too🙂
DISINFECTIONS – SUCKY
owie
Also me!
NONINFECTIOUS / SKODY
Found Noninfectious. Guessed Skody, and it was accepted.
DISINFECTIONS – SUCKY. First two words found.
same
I’m not alone!
FIDIOUS° – SNICKETY° (° OED)
A happy coincidence using the kill-your-prefixes tactic. I thought Snickety was a short form of Persnickety. OED confirmed. In trying to complete it I saw Fidious so I tried this as a short form of Perfidious with far less assurance. OED confirmed again (though considered obsolete). So consider me obsolete for the day.
Infectious skody
Same!
fecundity-yoks
DYSFUNCTION–NUKE
DYSFUNCTIONS — SOKE
DYSFUNCTIONS — SIKE
Got SCIENCE and then FUNCTION/S and DYSFUNCTION/DYSFUNCTIONS and knew that burying both the F and Y would lead to a solve. Probably many others.
DYSFUNCTIONS-STICKIE
Not the most efficient, but got it done!
OA – the way I feel after my cat has slept on my pillow
OA
Exorcist head spin
Infectious-Skody
FECUNDITY YOICKS
DISFUNCTIONS SKYEY
OA after getting hung up on INFECTUOUS, etc. Even gave KIDNEYSTONE a shot, but LB wouldn’t take it, and would have been stuck with F, U and C, and how would you ever hook those up?
Haha! Indeed.
Notify
Dystonic
Stuck on dystonic for a long yime
OA
DISINFECTIONS SUCKY
DYSFUNCTIONS – SKITE
I used to work in a Scottish pub and trust me there were a lot of dysfunctional drunks in there and a lot of skiting too
Got the OA earlier then tried TENDONITIS which worked, but I could not match it except for SUCKIFY which is slang.
AlSO came up with FEUDIST TONICKY*
*it’s in the Dictionary of Southern Appalachian English. Haha. But I am also told it’s a term used by musicians and composers.
Anyone have luck with CYTOKINE?
Disinfections sucky
Disunifys stickout OED’s
Oops no E
Disinfection nucky(urban dictionary- pal, buddy, homey)
Would have saved a lot of time if had used dysfunction instead of disfunction. Also liked keystone cytokine kidneys kinetic and others
DISINFECTIONS-SUCKY
disfunctions – skyey
An adjective I would never use
