ARMYWORMS—SHIVERED
17/2
“The bugs are cold.”
Armyworms-shivered. I will look for something better.😄
overswims-shady
Overswims – Shady here as well. Lots of excellent offerings today, but so far no 13/2. The call goes out!!
OVERSHADOW WHIMSY
Jinx!
I guess great minds really do think alike! 🙂
😆
Me too!
OVERSHADOW-WHIMSY
Managed to never get a solution (never saw “over” haha) while getting so many interesting combos with one letter letter missing:
OVARIES SHADOWY (no M)
MOVIES SHADOWY (no R)
MOVERS SHADOWY (no I)
ADVERSARIES SHOWY (no M)
MOVERS SHADOWIER (no Y)
MARSHIER ROWDY (no V)
RIVIERAS SHADOWY (no M)
MOVIE EYESHADOW (no R)
REAVOW WHIMSY (no D)
MOIRÉS SHADOWY (no V)
SHADOWS SHIVERY (no M)
Nice work!
ADVERSARIES is a truly excellent find, and EYESHADOW is also great!
Yes, I really thought I had it with ADVERSARIES. Happily found the official, though—and all on my lunch break!
Thanks Katie!
The sheer abundance of words in play is what made today’s offering difficult. I got the official, and also the variant of Whimsey with an E, though not expecting either to be the official.
Official answer today. Nothing particularly DREAMY or SHOWY about it, but quite efficient in terms of length (mildly surprised no one has come up with it yet).
Oops, I just saw MARK has already found it (it was kind of OVERSHADOWed by the alternate solution)…
Official came right away today. Nice way to start the day.
WAIVERS – SHADOWY came quickly.
Mercy! No wonder it came quickly: missing M. I must’ve been sleepier than usual this morning!
wow, my very first guess, I got it, the official answer. Unusually fast for me
Whimseys / savored
Got the official answer in just a couple of minutes,
Same, though I used the ‘whimsey’ spelling
Assemblage from Sept 26 – Oct 4
(A slight variation on Petrarchan form)
A SONNET FOR EARLY FALL (If Words Were Leaves)
As autumn’s volta takes its xanthic course
Pando’s leaves are trembling in its breeze,
And dogly brighten, whisper in its haze
To overshadow whimsey at its source.
Brightly yonder, fires still advance.
Yes, climate’s intoxicating struth can be
An inquorate and yet dire epiphany
Exchanging neurotoxic chains for chants.
And us, in troglodytes’ propinquity:
If words were leaves, we’d make our own small mark
To birth an abstract, bright dendrology.
Where elusive symmetries of quantum squarks
Cohabit in triumphal proximity
Like acquisitions of semantic sparks.
I’m going to build an altar to you, Jill.
… for your rhymes they are A-mazing!
I see what you did there, Sota, you clever thing!
You should send this to the New Yorker, Jill! Absolutely brilliant!
Thanks Bernie. But I think it only makes sense in the context of our obsessive word-hunting. 🙂
OVERDRAW-WHIMSY for me too
Had ADVERSARIES and SHADOWY but missed it today. Looking forward to a clean slate tomorrow!
overshadow – whimsy
