It may take a while, yes. Best to break out the really BIG dictionaries. ;)

I've never seen those last two. I'm not sure can be bothered to look them up yet. Maybe after coffee.... ;)

well I think you've busted my dictionary with that.

The only ones that fit are:

homogamy

mahimahi

..... and neither are right.

advances--o

bankrupt--o

flawless--o

so am I wrong in assuming that the "a" is right? And all the rest are wrong? These words exclude a whole ton of letters....

As for your spoiler? The "x's" tell the story. Start there.

Good Morning all! Have you read your daily grimoire yet? (I hadn't either, I've seen the word, but never knew what it meant until I had to guess it for this masterword.)

Unfortunately, I won't be able to host due to time constraints, so...if this turns out to be right, somebody please have at it!

Nice swoop, Cap'n. You are indeed correct!

I'm guessing that I was a bit too esoteric once again? :ph34r: I swear the words I choose are fairly common with the geeks I hang out with. :blush:

Personally, I don't see the problem. This one was difficult for me because, when I cut and pasted the results into my helper spreadsheet, I deleted too many characters, and accidentally knocked off the final E in INTRIGUE, resulting in contradictions in all hypotheses. That combined with the doubling of the Rs caused me a lot of heartache ("did I give Grayven a broken spreadsheet?") until I saw my typo. The repeated letters add to the logic challenge; as Martha says, it's a good thing!
