HANDCRAFTEDDIGITIZE
Wow, this is a tough one.
I’ve already passed my allotted time.
I did not get the official.
Break it open!
☺
FRANCIZED – DIGHT 14/2.
Me too.
I got the same solution after being unable to use ZAFTIG.
I tried so hard to use Zaftig. How often does that opportunity come up? 🙁
FRIGHTED – DANCERCIZE came right away, no doubt because that would totally be me.
Me, too–on both counts. Dancercize is definitely NOT my thing.
Never got around to yesterday’s puzzle; too much going on. Looks like it was a hard one, so that’s probably just as well. Today I came up pretty quickly with the official but long and rather dull 19/2 Handcrafted Digitize and the marginally better 18/2 Frighted Dancercize, which amused me with its theme of St. Vitus dance, so I think I’ll declare victory and call it a day!
Frantic, Rancid, Righthand – many a briefly-pursued tangent that didn’t pan out for me. Perhaps someone else will have better luck!
Really wanted ZAFTIG — [SOMETHING] … but alas
grandize/etch/heft……gave up on 2 words
I got stuck on HANDICRAFT(S), and could not find a mate.
A fail today for me.
Wasted too much time trying to go from FRATERNIZE(D)/DIGITIZE(D) etc. to the second word. Finally turned it around and came up with HANDCRAFTE(R/D) to startt. Then HANDCRAFTER – RIGIDIZED or HANDCRAFTED – DIGITIZED fell easily into place. Long way around.
The N was in the same row as the I though, which took me away from FRATERNIZE.
Fail for me too.
Tried to make FANATICIZED work
and failed. DIRGE (no H) was best try.
Few other fun finds/near-misses:
DIGITIZER RANCH
DIARIZE
ARCHITECTED
ZIARE (was somehow legal??)
FRANTIC CRAZED (nice thematic attempt but no H or G)
FETID
DERANGED
HAZARDED
EGRET
RECHARGED
GRANDIZE
GEARCHANGE
FANATIC CRITICIZED
REFRIGERATED
Similar: FANATICIZED -DIRGE-ETCH then let it go.
CHEZ-ZAFTIG-GRAND after reallllly trying for a 2-word solution. Thought I had something with RIGHTHANDED but…no!
official
Got the official
Yep. Official here. Had worked with both words before realizing that they complemented each other.
