  1. CONJURING—GLYPHIC
    GLYPHIC—CONJURING

    GLYPH also works but I liked the symmetry obtained with GLYPHIC.

    1. Yes, the interchangeability is a delightful feature for which I am generally willing to sacrifice efficiency. But in the event, I went with Conjuring Glyph and Glyphic Conjuror (the Pentagram and its uses and users), and also Polyphonic Conjuring (spells cast with and by music).

        1. Yeah, didn’t quite get there today landing on INJURING – GLYCOLIC – CHOP; also toyed with JINGLING; PROCURING; GLYPH/IC

  2. POLYPHONIC — CONJURING

    Also played around with CHURCHING, LOGOGRIPH, LIPOPHILIC, PHONOLOGIC.

    CHLOROPICRIN* is in the OED but not in LB

    COPROPHILIC* is in the OED but not in LB, and that is just as well! 🙂

  3. Mark and Bill, saw your observations yesterday on the frustrating LB word list. LB is using an Oxford word list, but it’s clearly not the 600,000-word OED. I’ve checked a number of OED words recently rejected by LB.* None of them are included in the 350,000-word ODE (Oxford Dictionary of English). I think that’s the word list LB is using.

    Any abridged dictionary doesn’t just leave out uncommon words. It leaves out many words that add well-understood prefixes and suffixes to common words. This makes sense in a dictionary, but can be unendurable in a word game. 🙂

    1. *Not a scientific sample, but it visits many prefixed and suffixed words in OED that we know and use.
      UNDUG
      UNFOUGHT
      UNFOUND
      UNFRIGHTENED
      UNINFLATED
      UNREFRIGERATED
      UNTHOROUGH
      UNTIGHTEN

      DUNKABLE
      CRACKABLE

      KVETCHER
      TINKLER

      ANTIPOLE

      REFILE

      SPEWY

      CHRONOLOGIC

      FRACTILE
      ZYMOSIS
      BINDLE
      HENCHWOMAN

      1. Thanks for investigating! I wasn’t aware of an abridged version of the OED (kind of like an abridged version of the Encyclopedia Britannica!)

      2. Thanks THIS for sharing your research. I completely forgot about the abridged versus unabridged versions (ODE vs OED). I’m glad to know this now. It should clear up some of the mysteries we’ve been encountering.

  4. Regarding abridged dictionaries, I have been surprised of late how many normal, oft-used words are not in the MW Official Scrabble Players dictionary. Extraneous, for example. (At least the one we have.) My friends insist on using it during games, but it limits what can be fairly played.

  5. Frankly my morning was list after i saw Lurching Gojiro and soent the rest of my allotted time on trying to find anything to do with the leftover P Y. My two cents i don’t believe there is any reference other than Ezersky brain matter. Yes they must check it and run it through some program but ultimately i think sam just looks at lists and decides yes/no

  6. Another GLYPHIC CONJURING, which I was happy enough to find, so didn’t see that reversing the words gives a more economical solution. Sounds eerie and mysterious both ways, though.

  7. OA, mercifully quickly, ending a dreadful 3 day losing streak. Still annoyed about Whataboutism, but have only myself to blame for not seeing Deadbolt. Had WRINKLED and BOLT on my word list. Yesterday had PRODUCT but didn’t see TWELFTH. Still think it looks funny written out.

  8. Here is the full list. No Scrabble words today.

    ** Don’t look at the list if you haven’t finished solving the puzzle **

    (The first number is a count and the second number is the number of letters used)

    1 – 14 conjuring / glyph
    2 – 16 conjuring / glyphic
    3 – 16 glyphic / conjuring
    4 – 15 glyphic / conjuror
    5 – 18 lyophilic / conjuring
    6 – 16 nonjuring / glyphic
    7 – 19 polyphonic / conjuring
    8 – 19 polychoric / conjuring
