Nice word, Rose!

You need big shoes to do well in a PENTATHLON.

Get THE "EE" THING.
(Or, if your door bites, it's probably the
HINGE TEETH!

I hope our pentathlete didn't finish eighteenth. But if he did, let's hope he had a strong ego, and that his:

ID UNIT FINE

That'd be INFINITUDE.

On the other hand, what about OCCIPORCISM? (Or M. PICO CRISCO, for that matter?)

OCCIPORCISM

Microscopic

FILM INANITIES

INFINITESIMAL !

Purely in alphabetical order (the way serious Scrabble buffs like it) just to be difficult:

AEHIMNOPRST

(If it had a C it would be SPORT MACHINE.
But it doesn't.)

Still working...

There are some good words in this, like "tigers" and "ravens" and "goiters" and "vertigo" and "revising," but I will "ignore" them all until I can figure it out!

...and when you finally get it, I hope you feel refreshed!

GREAT VISION

Invigorates

ANIMUS IS POOR; love is rich?

Oh, it just figures after all my work Jo got it!

I was working with "invigorating," too; you'd think I'd have gotten it! [I think I will give myself a half a point, at least!]

Parsimonious

Magic Pie - (in my case, it is French Silk! )

well, heck; look how fast you got parsimonious. And I thought that was going to be a tough one. I don't usually do these, and to be honest, Kalleh, I didn't see your earlier post or I wouldn't have solved it. Sorry....

Oh, Jo...I was only mad at myself when there it was on the tip of my tongue (fingers?)...and I didn't get it. Grrrrr! See why I don't post here so much? The only reason I would have gotten it in the first place was because of Hab's "refreshed" hint.

Time only for a quickie, but

MAGIC PIE - I + EE = GAMEPIECE

At first sight, MAGIC PIE looks like it should be easy, but...

Is it one word, Kalleh?

Best I can come up with are a couple of words to describe a photograph: PIC IMAGE

It is one word, arnie.

Hint: Think Valentine's Day!

I'm completely stumped also. And I've spent WAY too much time on this one.

Never heard of it before, but it fits.

Yes, that really is the starting configuration, not the target by mistake.

MESS ME AUNT

Oh, and Clabbers was Ron Weasley's pet rat, not Harry Potter's. Turned out he was a minor villain in disguise, all along. With, I suspect, a larger role yet to come in the next book or two...(Coming Soon to a Bookist Near You - July 23, I think it is)

Hab, I said Clabbers was "the pet rat" in Harry Potter... I was not succinct in my phrasing.. yes, he belonged to dear Ron!

CEDAR ME, LIZ with another A would be CARAMELIZED ?

(Onelook.com has three dictionaries with "caramelized" and only one with "carmelized," and even that one (Wikipedia) redirects you to "caramelized.")

yes, but there is also carmelized. At least in some of the dictionaries I use. So you win.

I think I need to buy a vowel.

CHANTCERYN is meaningless

No, wait. Is TRENCHANCY a word?

Yes, Hat Man.. it is!

A noun... incisive

This one's a bit unusual, too.

I've tried to delete this with no success. Please ignore.

anagrams, give or take a vowel:

BEAL CRY ROT if you added an E would be
CELEBRATORY

still working on CURIOUS LID
which is LUDICROUS I (never hurts to be able to laugh at yourself!)

well, I did say that I tried to delete the damn thing. It should have been

BEAL CRY ROTE which of course would be celebratory. It seems I am unable either to edit or delete my posts.

And on that note, why aren't you folks providing daffynitions for my word?

Oh, Hab, don't be

RIDICULOUS

This entire board is a

That would be "knowledge"... I can't edit either!
