0 bonanova Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Some great guesses and near misses to go along with these winners: onetruth has [1] [4] [5] [9] [25] and [35] nikyma has [1] [2] [4] [5] [6] [11] and [19] largeneal has [2] and [3] Check the OP spoiler for the solution words. guessed but missed, so far, include [7] [8] [10] [12] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] and [20] and not heard from, probably in class, nayana.

Question
bonanova
Set VI of Three words - Contronyms established the Minneapolis chapter of Insomniac Puzzle Solvers Anonymous.
But it was published too late in the day to create the Indian chapter of ISPA.
Not so nice this time.
In a command Encore performance, Three Words VII - Wondrously Wandering Words
explores the changing meaning of words over the passage of time.
And it's appearing now, late afternoon EDT, to permit full duelling privileges
for Nikyma and Nayana - and anyone else who thinks they can keep up with them.
These words have changed - some of them far beyond modern recognition.
To excel at this set may mean to admit to a prehistoric birthdate, or more probably wisdom beyond one's years.
It's all meant for fun, so sharpen your pencils, log on to onelook.com and have at it!
The first word is the archaic meaning.
The third word may be a heteronym of the modern meaning.
