HOW DO YOU GET HARBORED FROM REBOARDS
Because I was asleep at the switch. So Sorry.
W A R D R O B E S (If at first you don't succeed)
Good job, Raggedy. Well, I can't find anything to add to WARDROBES. Perhaps when Zyzzygogue wakes up in England (or was that Ireland?) he or she will have something to add.

Sorry, Mr. S, M-W doesn't list PAINTCAN. Give it another try...

(I like the new avatar, Mr. Stillwater!)
Why thanks. Wish I could say the same for this word 'anapestic' - some sort of rhyme scheme, is it?
ANAPESTICK
Sorry, ANAPESTICK isn't listed.
Here's the def. for anapestic from M-W: "a metrical foot consisting of two short syllables followed by one long syllable or of two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable (as unabridged)"
There is another word after ANAPESTIC...
Mr Merriam and Mr Webster have a LOT to answer for!
You got me on this one.....
WITHOUT THE 'L' YOU COULD HAVE ANAPESTICS
Yes, of course, anapestics. (I was thinking we might go for analeptics.)
