Did get PETRIFYING-GLUM though.
Nice.
Same here!
PETRIFYING / GLUM too!
Mark, you have a Python script that you can run against a text word list, correct? If so, would you be willing to share it? That would certainly speed up the birds!
Doesn’t running the letters through a computer programme ruin the fun? 🧐
For some of us it sure does. To each their own, I guess.
I agree.
Not at all, especially when one writes their own software. 😏
DW, the way I have it now is that there’s more than one part. The initial scripts just create SQL code which runs against a database. Let me look at what might be shareable offline, since some of it is used for other games like Spelling Bell, Wordle, and Words with Friends. I have you, and your Birds, to thank for giving me the idea to include multi-word names in the search patterns. The “space” threw me off for awhile, then I got it.
Roger that!

Wow Mark, you beat me to it! And I had to add an imperfect diminutive.
LYING – GRIFT – TRUMP(ET)
FINGERPRINTING – GLUMLY
Beautiful, kudos!
FINGERPRINTING-GLUMLY too.
A very non-Hemingway-esque solution, but ALIOW 🙂
Good direction Jill, with Lying Grift. Your find prompted me to invoke the Quads:
GIFT—TRUMP—PUNT—TIMELY
GRIFT—TRUMP—PELT—TINTY
IGNITE—ERUPT—TRUMP—PURFLY
INTEL—LEGIT—TRUMP—PURIFY
INTEL—LYING—GRIFT—TRUMP

UNGLUE—EMIT—TRUMP—PURIFY
UNGLUE—ERUPT—TRUMP—PURIFY
URGING—GRIFT—TRUMP—PURELY
YETI—IGNIFY—YELT—TRUMP
FINGERPRINTING-GLUMLY is great! Surely no one is cheery under those circumstances.
Very Trumpy!
Purifying gimlet
Regretful Lumpy Yin
FRUIT TEMPTINGLY
A veritable Eden of solutions today
I ended with fruit-temptingly as well.
I tried trumpeting, gimlet, perfuming, glumly, fingerprint, fruitfly, fruitful. Not my best day but I got there in the end.
Another Fruit Temptingly here. Got a super late start, so I was happy to find a reasonably efficient 15/2 solution relatively quickly, and with superior TI. Call it a win!
Yep yep. Another Fruit Temptingly here. Which I liked cause fruit looks at me temptingly sometimes too. My roommate doesn’t believe me though.
Mine is more efficient: PETRIFYING – GLUM. And a quick solve too. Thought this to be OA.
Good one!
another for PETRIFYING – GLUM
PERFUMER RINGLETY. An odd one.
That’s what I found as well, and most surprised it was accepted.
I had the equally odd PERFUME – EYELETING. Very surprised when it accepted EYELETING, but I’ll take it!
LUMP-PETRIFYING. Somewhat alarming TI.
Same here!
I also did LUMP – PETRIFYING and I’m not gonna lie, I was proud lol T
Same here
FRUIT-TEMPTINGLY for me. I love the OA. My grandmother was very partial to a gimlet and I feel sure she would have considered it purifying.
MELTER PURIFYING
LYING GRIFTING GET TRUMP
Can’t ignore those letters 🙂
Good one Walt!
🙂
FINGERPRINTING should have yielded more than just GLUMLY
REpurifying, presumably.
fingerprinting – glumly
Fruit – Temptingly
I wanted to do FLUYT TRUMPETING. Unfortunately fluyt it is not recognized, even though it is in the scrabble dictionary.
EMPTYING GRIMFUL — but not accepted.
PS Grimful was good enough for Thomas Hardy though. 🙂
