The answers are:
CHALICEENTROPY
HEPCAT – THORNILY
Fashionable… but a prick with it…..
What a great answer, Andrew! Hepcat makes me smile.
Just as the quest for the Holy Grail was bound to wind down eventually, I ran out of energy and settled for the OA.
Satisfied with a quick OA after a tough week.
Icky wek
NEOTROPICAL LEATHERY. not proud of it but it works
ANTHROPIC CYCLE 14/2
Same
Spotted a wonderful word after another and thereafter. But, failed to come up with a solution.
Gave up. Too many words to work on.
Spotted HYPER – RECREATIONAL early. But E-A is unlinkable.
7-day losing streak almost rivaling my 8-day OA streak.
It was headached week for me.
I hope I will fail tomorrow.
👌
Yes, many possibilities in today’s array! Should provide for some entertaining solutions as the day wears on. I’ll toss out, in no order, Tropical, Catchily, Preachy, Peachy, Pentacle, Yacht, Receptacle, Lecher, Lechery, Clothe, Clothier, Panache…
I had TROPICAL to.
mmvc,
hint: it end with EK!! 👌
CHALICE – ENTROPY = sloppy drunk
ICHOR – REPENTANTLY = morning hangover… “what was in that chalice?”
Some radioactive letters for your order ADAM mvua,
Percent-throatily
I got percent throatily too. What are the odds?
Garden variety:
HYACINTH – HELIOTROPE
Pretty!
What! You found a pair for HYACINTH. Sadly, it is not in my VoCab.
Lovely–and fragrant. 🙂
Protolithic cleanly
I had CALICHE – ENTROPY but I prefer the OA
I ended up with ANTHROPIC – CELERY
Like the Body Snatchers!
Choicer Repentantly. Not good but I was getting dizzy from all the running about and when it fell out (who knew Repentantly?) I took it.
Same here, but not very efficient, huh?
same, I thought it was okay
Lycanthrope epic – almost a one solve!
Indeed seems unfair somehow one cannot be LYCANTHROPIER or HYPERLYCANTHROPIC such is the cruelty of the LB. OA here but wish i had seen this
My one-solve was: LEXICOGRAPHY.
Which is what i want to be. A LEXICOGRAPHER.
Gave up temporarily on ENTROPY/ENTROPIC and found ANTHROPIC–CLEANLY.* Went back and came up with ENTROPIC–CATCHILY (clumsy perhaps, but I think I could describe some music that way).
* ANTHROPIC is another one of those words (like PLUSSED) that doesn’t seem to occur without its negating affix. Someone really needs to start making a list . . .
here..WINDH_EK
there…the letters are EKED out.
Hm,
it’s already an obvious word play.
Official. First I thought there could be a long medical one worder that ends in -pathy
YACHT – TROPAEOLIN
PORT—THYLACINE
13/2 🐯
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/thylacine
I was thrilled to find this one.
And finally some palindromes:
HALALAH¹
REPAPER
ROTATOR
ALALA²
ROTOR
¹ PSW but not LB
² LB but not PSW
I also had PORT THYLACINE, always happy to find a THYLACINE still around.
Lycanthropic Cane. Almost got the elusive one word answer w/ lycanthropic. Alas. Not today.
Same here, but not very efficient, huh?
Ignore that.
I really wanted to ask if anyone has ever achieved that. I’m rather new to this game, so I haven’t seen one yet; but I think I was one away once, too.
I think HYPERPRODUCTIVITY was proposed a while back: not 12/1 but still, one word. However, LB didn’t accept it, though it shows up in some other dictionaries.
Reminds me of the actual 12/1 from last year: lexicography.
Well, there’s my answer!
PALEOLITHIC* – CHICANERY, nudge nudge, wink wink. The puzzle didn’t accept PALEOLITHIC, which made me CRAMPY.*
*PSW not LB
Love that answer!
Also sad that paleolithic wasn’t accepted. Ended up with POLYLITHIC-CANER instead.
PROTOLITHIC CHICANERY
You give Ugg half your meat for month, Ugg give you NFT worth many meat in future.
LOLOL
chalice – entropy
politic-chicanery … seemed thematic to me.
CHATLINE-ENTROPY — pandemonium on the call-in radio show.
PANTROPICAL-LECHERY hanky-panky in warmer climes.
Good themes! 🙂
Hyacinth Heliotrope 🌺
PROLEPTIC CHICANERY. anticipating trickery 🤣
Finally gave up! Always one letter short. Gutted I didn’t think of neotropical as I had leathery. Best I could do was Catnip Poachery . Could not get my head around this one. Well done everyone!
Hfbjkyfcvhyditto!
POLYANTH—HITCHER
POLECAT – THORNILY
I am thankful that today’s puzzle seemed more accessible and fun. I was going to give up on letter boxed.
Sincerely,
Grumpy Pregnant Lady
Lollll, love the sign-off, Alicia…I feel your frustration, past 2 weeks have been tougher than usual it seems.
HELIOTROPIC – CYAN
Turning towards the greenish-blue light.
I finally came up with HOP-PRECIPITANTLY, which at least (and at best) hangs together thematically.
Pyrolithic and cane. Frustrating that LB doesn’t accept paleolithic. Also Chela and Anticipatory — Looking forward to those lobster claws!
mmvc,
the answer is WINDHOEK.
(namibia’s CAPITAL)
Lycanthrope/Entice—werewolf appeal
chela/anticipatory
Anthropical – lyre
Struggled with this one, but too often had one letter remaining. Politicly and Antihero were dead ends. Chipotle-Entropy left the A stranded.
