TYPEWRITER

As for your side question, well, here is my best answer!

WLOYBZ, which, by the way, is one of my favorite words!

Gotcha.

Well, cucuracha is cockroach, which was your original word, and the connection between cockroach and typewriter (all in lower case) was provided by Don Marquis

I believe "blowzy" can be spelled either way, and I chose the more British way (I think!).

As far as Archie and Mehitibel, we took our kids to it, and we all loved it!

WITENEST

TWENTIES

APRTAUROBMEL

This might be hard, simply because of the length. If you need hints, let me know.

I am impressed that you didn't even need a hint, Hab Wink. I don't think I would have gotten it.

BTW, Where is Arnie these days??? It seems to be just you and I (I or me? Confused) here.

It's I, and it's oligarchy. Perhaps general interest is waning. Although I could have fun doing these all day. (In my darker, more introspective moments I accuse myself of showing off. "See how smart I am," I keep trying to convince myself.)

SHEEERY

EDIT: see below

No convincing necessary! Wink

I'm still working here....I lept with glee thinking it was "Hershey", but then my head fell.

The problem with only 2 of us is that I always feel as though I am "on"! BTW, I know that arnie works with schools, so maybe he is on a holiday break? Anyway, I miss him!

See? Not as smart as I think I am. I've misspelled it: one E too many. It's not SHEEERY after all, but
SHEERY.

But it's still not Hershey. (I would never give a proper name without a warning attached.)

HERESY?

How about an occupation shared by railroaders and electricians?

I would have thought 'witchcrafts' too, but if it's used by electricians and (railroad) engineers it's more likely SWITCHCRAFT.

I'll have to work on ANATELS some more.

I can't believe you got that, Hab, without even a hint! You definitely deserve the W.E. (Wordcraft Emmy) for that one! Razz

BTW, Jerry, "switchcraft" was just fine; Hab came up with it, again without a hint (Grrrr!). Besides, "witchcrafts" worked as well (I think; e.g. "During the Middle Ages, witches worked with all sorts of 'witchcrafts.'" On second thought, maybe not. Roll Eyes)

So, Hab, do we have another word? [maybe a little easier than otorhinolaryngologist?]

Polys: beautiful! And nice anagram of it, too. I was working on "neurophthalmoscopy" but that didn't make it on several counts.


SCUDFENO = unfocused but it would need a second U. Still working on it.

Hint #1 ==> Roll Eyes

Hear the sledges with the bells -- silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
As they sing out their delight
In the icey air of night
And the stars that oversprinkle all the Heavens seem to twinkle with a crystalline delight,
Keeping time time time
With a sort of Runic rhyme
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells bells bells bells bells bells bells
From the tinkling and the jingling of the bells! -- E. A. Poe

And besides, shouldn't it be "sinversationally handicapped" because there's no give-and-take here?

...if I have a Roget's and someone just gave me another one, do I now have two THESAURI?

(I'll give someone else a chance to get the word you really meant rather than give the next scrambled letters.)

Edit: No I won't. Add an O and make another all-five-vowels-one-time-each word. OK, there it is: SEQUIOA, and DIALOGUE, and now THESAURIO

I had been doing a little cross-threading, and I had meant thesauri. Is there another word there?

I have been working on "thesaurio," and I don't know that this is right. However, the only word I could find was the English spelling of authorise. Is that right? Confused
