PRIVATED-DOMBAK*
*DOMBAK good in OED
I failed this time; spent too long on this. Came up with ROTAVATOR, EVERMORE, BROADER, DEPRIVED, DIVIDER, MOTORBOAT, TORPEDO(ED), PREPARATOR, ORBITED, EMBROIDER(ED), PIRATED, PRIVATED, MOTIVATE, MOTIVATOR, PROBATE, MOTIVATED, PROBATED, PRIVATED, DEMOTIVATE and REMOTIVATED.
I did come up with PROBATED – DEMOTIVATE but the K was left hanging out.
OA after much ado around REPROBATIVE and being unable to get EMBARKED. Took far too long to just do EMBARK and work backwards.
I feel like we have very similar approaches. Killed a good part of the morning on this. Actually wrote down 156 words with the last one being VIDEOTAPE. The K was a real pain today. Knew when I finally saw EMBARK I was on the right track. Had seen Video withing the first 5 words I wrote down but wasn’t until the end that I found VIDEOTAPE.
Some other things I came across a long the way – Probative/Reprobative, Vibrator, Predative, Derivative, Meditative, Riverboat, Motorboat (But not motorboated? What’s that about?), and Temperative.
OA but worked on quite a few words that ended in tive
VIDEOTAPE — EMBARK
I found EMBARK early but couldn’t connect it (that I saw anyway). Chased a lot of other words: REVERB, REPROBATIVE, ARBORVITAE, VIBRATED, REVIBRATED, BRAVADO, MEDITATIVE, PREMEDITATIVE. Then found VIDEO and then VIDEOTAPE, and EMBARK was right there. LB didn’t accept DEVERBATIVE or VIBROMETER (I’ve tried the latter in past puzzles, so at least it’s consistent!)
OA after spending time with PREADAPTIVE
PROTODATIVE* EMBARK
* “A protodative is a hypothetical or reconstructed grammatical case that is considered the ancestral form of the dative case in modern languages.” Per google.
OA and fairly quickly which makes up for the many other occasions (most actually!) on which I’ve come here after spending way too long on a puzzle to find others saying it was easy 🙂 Funny how our brains all work!
DITTO
VIDEOTAPE – EMBARK
film crew
Videotape — Embark after a while.
OA
OA got embark and video early, took a long time to see videotape. Tried derivative demotivated riverboat and others
Meteoroid kratom radiometer biped perkier premeditated
VAPED DORMER REITBOK*
*in MW and Scrabble dictionary and OED
Fail today. I really thought reprobative was a winner.
Spent too long today, and had to go out… So got it in 3, PREMEDITATIVE ERK KABOB.
wasn’t sure about ERK but LB took it. I’ve seen kabob before but just couldn’t make it in 2 . Never even saw videotape!!
Videotape- embark . Took a while !
