CAGAGATHAKIKOLOLO - nope, too

CAGAGATHAKIKOLOLO - nope, too many letters matching
CIGAGAKATHAKOLOLO - an obscure word of New Guinean origin that literally translates to "fits all the clues given so far"
CIGATHOKALOGAKOLA - an eastern European cigarette brand where the first puff leaves an aftertaste of a cola drink; their motto is "Our name fits the clues given so far"

:))))))))

First and third not a single letter correct. The word from New Guinea however, of which I too am very familiar :) (so +10 there) ... well done for finding it by the way... has its first K in the correct position (which is in fact, also its first K) and one of the adjacent A's to it correct too :)

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

I can probably get somewhere with the negatives learned from your response, but it will have to wait until later.

Thanks for the +10.

One negative thought pops immediately to mind before I click Post... if it does not end with either O or A, then it must end with I. Either that or it starts with a vowel and ends with a consonant.

Go with the latter :)

I'm still bingeing on Netflix

I'm still bingeing on Netflix with the Caledonian Mafia offerings, and so :

CAGAGATHAKIKOLOLO

is Malcolm Tucker choking on a sandwich while trying to say "I'll kill you". :-)

Cheers, Mike.

I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter ...

Or I could finally realize

Or I could finally realize that Admiral Gloval, the current winner at Seti, posted the answer there to the jumble here: agathokakological

He solved my DENDOCHRONOLOGY in under five hours and then tried to pretend he hadn't. I'd really like to know how he does that.

Without Prejudice : - he's

Without Prejudice :

- he's really clever.

- despite our requirement here : "Use of an internet word scrambling/descrambling site is considered cheating.", you can download software which will do that anyway ... { eg. here } on your local machine ie. not 'on the Internet'. :-)

Cheers, Mike.

And making quite a racket whilst he's at it if I may say so...

Oh really? Bet you can't find any of the words in my dictionary with that, nor do you get to enjoy a demented frolic in the place where sanity never visits either... which is so much fun! :)

Y-e-s. It's where the ostrich came in.

Still - well done for reading it, David :) Agathokakological - composed of both good and evil.

Your turn! :)

OOooohh, I don't recommend that we do download stuff, just change the note to "don't use any software assistance what-so-ever" or like.

FWIW : I like to do partials*, meaning that the length of the words that we are into are 15+ letters, thus are typically compounded using the often perverse nature of the English language.

Cheers, Mike.

* Well I also like to cut my victims up into short segments before I cook and eat them too, but that's probably not relevant here. TMI ? Let's just say that you ought listen very carefully if I ask you all DownUnda for a BBQ. It's a clarity in language thingy.

I know! You're much too fond of your coloured squares and crayons :)

Yes ... apart from a fridge and a hairdryer maybe - if you leave your wax crayons in the sun too long or spill your juice on your squares. I know those training cups are quite good, but picking them up upside down...

When I lived in a different downunder, they called those 'n braai - which does mean a burn - yes. An opportunity to set your food on fire outdoors instead of in.

The BBQ's we have in the UK are so you can set your umbrella alight, assuming you got it up before all signs of flame were extinguished of course :)
