well done – I get your first one too
🙏 & well done back to you, Jon!
Are you also a medic? I thought it was going to be amphibious too but couldn’t think of a word to link.
Not really, just familiar with Greek as a matter of heritage 😉
AMPHIBIOUS – SCROD
Can’t rule out such an evolutionary upgrade!
Ha! Good one, Sota21!
Same lol
Same!
CUPBOARDS—SHIM
13/2
OHMIC—CUPBOARDS
14/2
I got CUPBOARDS – SHIM after a ridiculously long period of thinking. I don’t even know what a shim is! I’ll find out.
Cupboards Shim here as well. I have one in use under a cupboard as we speak. I was kinda surprised it wasn’t the official answer, which like many of late seems a bit of a reach.
CUPBOARDS SHIM for me too
And another CUPBOARDS-SHIM. I also thought it’d be the official solution.
Agree on all counts.
Me too. I think you might use a SHIM if you were building a CUPBOARD
Same.
Me too
CUPBOARDS – SHIM here, too. Quickly.
CRUMBS SCAPHOID too
Couldn’t get Humidor/Humidors to work… Perhaps someone else will have better luck.
How about HUMIDORS – SCOPOPHOBIA, then?
worked so long on scopophobia, and missed humidors 😣
I latched onto PHOBIA and ended up getting AGORAPHOBIA-ADSUM
*ACROPHOBIA-ADSUM
There it is! Awesome!
Cardia amphibious.
Disappointed by rejection of numerous micro- macro- -phobia -phobic words.
An earlier effort was SCOPOPHOBIA (accepted) ACROPODIUM (rejected).
A friend came down with COVID the other day. She was, at least, content to discover a Wordle alternative, a perpetual one -which is guaranteed to be a useful companion in her time of inactivity & boredom. I won’t be disclosing a link to it (out of respect to the NYT), but I did give it a spin which was enough for me to find out it uses a different word list than the © one. I was, thus, prompted to extend my search for a Letter-Boxed alternative as well. I didn’t come up with one, but what I did stumble upon instead were a couple of Letter-Boxed solvers where you simply feed the array of letters and they provide a bunch of off-the-shelf solutions. I hope I’m not putting anyone’s probity to the test by letting you know of their existence (it would hardly come as a surprise anyways). They qualify as good points of reference after a successful or failed individual attempt to work out an answer, much like our little forum does.
Now, going at this quiz without the assistance of dictionaries or word databases would, in many cases, be like pinning the tail on the donkey, but I’m SURE no one in this community presents those solvers’ products as theirs. In an ideal world, the skills required to crack those puzzles would somehow be monetizable (which might offer a utilitarianist if not a moral excuse for resorting to help of that nature) but, as it is (& contrary to what goes on in other sectors like, say, chess, where it turns out cheating is all but prevalent), we’re merely here for the fun factor, right?
Yep, right!
I have no such qualms about recommending “unlimited Wordle” sites. Of course I do the official Wordle first, but after that, and through the day, I “practice” on my favorite unlimited version, at wordplay.org. Aside from offering unlimited plays, it has other advantages over the official version – eg you can highlight and replace letters one by one instead of having to erase the whole thing, and you can put in a dash as a placeholder to help visualize answers. Official Wordle should consider these refinements!
Sorry, it’s wordplay.COM, not ORG!
Corda- amphibious
I had amphibious on the board then reverse solved a word ending a a..
Wanted to use bodacious but could not
BIOPHARMAS – SCUD here. I guess there is at least a modicum of thematic consistency there in an unconventional-weapons kind of way. Brings to mind Colin Powell’s brilliant but shameful UNSC presentation in 2003.
Wow! That was my solution too. I suppose I shouldn’t be too surprised that someone else solved it this way, but this time I was pretty sure it would be unique.
Well, either way, a fine working-out.
CARDIA AMPHIBIOUS – I was surprised they accepted “cardia”; it solved my dilemma for using amphibious with only 2 words
AMPHIBIOUS – SPORADIC for on-again off-again frogs who can’t decide….🐸
Was disappointed my MACROPHOBIC-CUDS (not least because the thematic match (fear of a long wait)) not accepted. So many phobias not on list. Perhaps there should be a new listing for fear of not completing letterboxed for the day—-alphabetabociphobia?
That was a bummer. A lot of ‘–phobia’ and ‘–phobic’ words weren’t accepted, but ACROPHOBIC was (I just couldn’t work with it).
RHUMBS — SPORADIC
CUPBOARDS – SHIM
AMPHIBIOUS – SCROD
RHUMBS – SPORADIC here too. Didn’t know rhumbs was a word, but got excited thinking I could do rhombus and discovered it by accident 🙂
Speaking of shims, here’s a life-hack: if you have a three- or four-legged table that wobbles, instead of shimming up the short leg, experiment with turning the table around 90 degrees or so. This often cures the wobble as if by magic!
