    1. I found lots of words with strong potential so it took a while before I finally got to
      PALINDROMIC COMBAT

      Done for the day.

      1. Me too getting desperate with time running out when tried romantic with cropland and had b left over. Then thought if bromance is a word, then maybe ……

    1. We complain a bit on this site about words that LB doesn’t accept, but let’s just take a moment to appreciate that ‘BROMANTIC’ was viable.

      I got this one, too, along with IMPLICATIONAL–LABROID.

    1. Oh, that’s a good One! I got Palindromic Combat (using Radar), Palindromic Catacomb (“Live on, Time; emit no Evil.”), Colorblind Diplomat (a handicap if literal, an advantage if metaphorical), Broadband Diplomatic (obvious hacking target), Bromidic Compilation (Proverbs), Bromidic Complication (still Proverbs), Bromantic Cropland (Days of Heaven, Brokeback Mountain, God’s Own Country, Shane…), Bioclimatic Cropland (that actually sounds like a thing), and OA Bitmap Palindromic (maybe I could come up with something if I had any idea what Bitmap means, and yes, I did look it up).

      1. Mica:
        I guess mine is closest to yours and Douglas’s:
        DILAMBDODONT
        TROPICAL

        And no, i didn’t think of that first word first!

        I saw TROPICAL in the array and then for the four leftover letters (BDMN) i could only find three words starting with L and three words ending with T that each used all of those letters (BDMN). Of those six words the only one that fits the array is DILAMBDODONT.

        Which is an actual word in MW, OED, Wiktionary, etc. so naturally LB rejects it!
        And i couldn’t find this one in Collin’s Dictionary either.

        At first i was thinking it’s a jabberwocky word from “Alice in Wonderland” … maybe because i mentally pronounce it “Di-Lamb-Do-Don’t ” …
        But actually, from Wiktionary:
        “adjective
        Having teeth with a pair of lambda-shaped ridges on each.
        noun
        A creature with teeth of this kind.”
        😎🐝🇺🇸

        1. There are probably a few zoologists that play this game who are absolutely OUTRAGED that LB doesn’t accept this quite common word! 🙂

          I think it’s great that you found it.

  1. BITMAP — PALINDROMIC

    The first word that I saw was BITMAP but I did not see PALINDROMIC right away. I spent lots of time trying to get IMPLICATION to work. Also spent time with ANTICLIMACTIC, CLIMACTICAL, and ORDINATION. When I finally found PALINDROMIC, I recalled BITMAP and got the solve. There are lots of -ATION and
    -ICAL words left so I think that there will be many unique solves today.

  2. IMPLICATIONAL – LABROID
    I had my suspicions.

    labroid, n. & adj.
    a fish of the perciform suborder Labroidei or superfamily Labroidea, which comprises the wrasses, cichlids, parrotfishes, damselfishes, and related forms.

  3. On the way I had:
    TROPIC – COMBINATIONAL (no D)
    COMPLICATION – NIMROD (no B)
    IMPORTATIONAL – LIMBIC (no D)
    MALADROIT – TROPICANA (no B)
    Finally got B & D together in LABROID

  5. COLORBLIND – DIPLOMAT (and the interchangeable DIPLOMATIC – COLORBLIND / COLORBLIND – DIPLOMATIC) after lots and lots (and LOTS) of searching. Happy to see people found pairs for TROPICANA, COMBINATION, and BROMANTIC, as they all tortured me. 😝 I was so sure LAMBDA would be part of the solution, as ~TIONAL – LAMBDA is already so close and there were so many ~TION words today. Glad to see PANTROPICAL matched with it, didn’t think to try that. Good puzzle today!
