Nary a word

... would pop into my mind till just now. Crambo's word rhymes with "nary," although I've also heard it pronounced to rhyme with "berry," which has a slightly less assertive vowel (think of "Mary" vs. "merry"). Words that rhyme with any of the above are possible guesses. Please don't tell me we'll have nary a guess...

a common 2-syll. prefix meaning
"outside of", "additional" + a root meaning
"arranged", "regular" + a 3 letter latinate
adjectival suffix (the rhymer that MIGHT
rhyme with "berry") ? The whole meaning
= "outstanding", "
"unusual" ?

Unlike Roland, Crambo's word is not extraordinary.

I'm so tired I'm being really cautious about my Crambo guesses.

I'm tired this morning too, but it can have the opposite effect on me.

not extraordinary, wary, weary

5-letter word meaning
inspiring "Fear Lite" ?

Crambo's word doesn't inspire much fear, light or otherwise, except perhaps in some types of vegetation.

not extraordinary, wary, weary, scary

11th month in the old, pre-Julian
Roman calendars and first in the
Jullian and todayʻs ?

We don't need old two-face around here. Nor his successor, or any other capitalized word.

not extraordinary, wary, weary, scary, January

I lost mine to a bar-girl in Manila. (OK, it's a bit salacious, but aren't we all adults here?)

I think we are.

not extraordinary, wary, weary, scary, January, cherry,

They say Jim53 is really hirsute and that his Crambo prowess is awesome. (3 guesses)

In recent years I'm becoming less very hairy, at least on top. Not sure about the third word--exemplary?

>13 Jim53: Of course, you are exemplary but that's not exactly the word I meant. Zelda agrees with me on this :-)

Cabinet members (except the Atty. Gen.?) have
the title of __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __.

>14 Jenni_Canuck: I went down a rabbit hole trying to think of a word related to Mrs. Fitzgerald, before smacking my forehead and realizing I was showing my utter lack of familiarity with modern culture. Since you say "They say," I will guess that you're referring to my legend.

Both that guess and Roland's have the correct number of syllables, although only his is the right part of speech.

not extraordinary, wary, weary, scary, January, cherry, very, hairy, exemplary, legendary, secretary

alpha not: cherry, exemplary, extraordinary, hairy, January, legendary, scary, secretary, very, wary, weary

Can it be that place we're all going? Stephen King wrote about it and his pet.

Does it have (or used to have)* the
word "Christmas" customarily** following it?

*(may have become obsolete
due to P.C.)

** for that matter,, might it be
the adjective form of this word?

While it's customary to end up in a cemetery, it's not always merry.

not extraordinary, wary, weary, scary, January, cherry, very, hairy, exemplary, legendary, secretary, cemetery, customary, merry

alpha not: cemetery, cherry, customary, exemplary, extraordinary, hairy, January, legendary, merry, scary, secretary, very, wary, weary

Is it "consisting of letters

(aKA __ __ __ __ __ __ E S)",
as in the __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ type of novel?

>20 rolandperkins: Crambo's word is not epistolary. Still working on your first clue.

This artistic undertaking was included as an extra on the DVD and Blu-ray versions of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

>22 Jenni_Canuck: I always enjoy the places you send me to find things! No idea that Doogie was involved with Mutant Enemy Productions. And my boy Nathan too (I'm a big Castle fan)! I'll have to check this out.

not extraordinary, wary, weary, scary, January, cherry, very, hairy, exemplary, legendary, secretary, cemetery, customary, merry, epistolary, commentary

alpha not: cemetery, cherry, commentary, customary, epistolary, exemplary, extraordinary, hairy, January, legendary, merry, scary, secretary, very, wary, weary

>23 Jim53: So glad you're enjoying the adventure! You probably know all about Cenarion Jademoon.

// If Castle ever makes it to Netflix, I foresee a viewing marathon. //

__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __, originally meaning
"in ranks", "orderly" but in Modern English
"regular", "commonplace"?

Crambo's word is far from ordinary. It's a four-syllable noun. It would be especially appropriate for someone to get it on a Wednesday (although this will make more sense to people who are working).

// >26 Jim53: You can't fool me: humpday doesn't rhyme with nary. Or, I'm obviously not working hard enough! //

If I were to have a fatal heart attack, how long do you think I'd be stuck between heaven and hell?

>27 Jenni_Canuck: You got the clue, just need to take it further. I'm confident that, unlike Katy Munger's dead detective, if you were to have a coronary, you wouldn't spend much time in purgatory (although that isn't a great rhyme, so tell me if it's something else.

I think we've all given up on this one. Crambo's word was dromedary.

I canʻt believe there hasnʻt been a post to
Crambo! in over 2 months!

I donʻt think I ever would have guessed
"dromedary".

Are you, Jim, or someone going to post
a new Crambo! ?
