In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below…

Join our LGBTI communities and allies worldwide to celebrate #IDAHOBIT2024! "No one left behind: equality, freedom, and justice for all" is a call to action: in moving forward, let us ensure all communities are represented, have a voice, and are seated at the table! #IDAHOBIT
@aaaronson @MaryTobler Take the #letterbank (unique letters) of a US city and its state, e.g. "Cincinnati, Ohio" banks to "Antioch"
1. Which major US city+state banks to a common SINGULAR NOUN?
2. Which big US city+state banks to a common PLURAL NOUN? (at least two)
Others bank to obscure nouns
So, what are the longest words you can make from a #letterbank of 7 letters? (similar to #NYTSpellingBee)
17 letters: 🥇
DISINTERESTEDNESS > tinders (bank spells a word)
15 letters: 🥈(tie)
NATIONALIZATION > AILNOTZ (#nytsb pangram - no 'S')
See other 15-letter words below ⬇️
Today's #NYTSpellingBee has *long* pangrams (words made from the 7 letters AILNOTZ) #nytsb 🐝
Bonus #letterbank challenge:
1. What's the longest word (non-obscure) with only 7 unique letters?
2. Any others of same length?
3. Longest one for which the 7-letter bank spells a word?

Today is International Day against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia: happy #IDAHOBIT2023 from all of us at ILGA World!
Today, we asked our team to discuss intersections of this year's #IDAHOBIT theme, "Together Always: United in Diversity". A thread🧵
Thanks to @kapukamum for finding me this fantastic #letterbank the other day! When I wrote the clue, she suggested Paul McCartney and then later I remembered Paul and Stevie's collaboration on "Ebony and Ivory" (1982) 🎹
So here's the hint:
Hint: p----------s
This is an "expanding" #letterbank clue, as are 80% of LLB clues. There are two "collapsing" LLB clues (20%) that use the same bank as this one: #LLB073 and #LLB533
For more about LLB clues, see the Tips & Resources at the end of my pinned intro thread 😎
Kudos to @kapukamum for going back to solve the first 50 LLB clues! 🤩5⃣0⃣👏
To find LLB clues, search Twitter for e.g. #LLB050 but any 3-digit number from 001-600. Play when you like and "spread the word!" (see my pinned intro thread)

#LLB050 Caterpillars evolved from particles - in the same way, you can get changed and grown and more like them! (4,11) 😉 #LowdownLetterBank #crypticclue #cryptic

@dc_scrabblegram Great message and rhyming – I'm definitely on a wordplay high from this one!
Here's my tricky 4/20 #letterbank clue from two years ago (think grammar, not ganja):
https://t.co/YEpSmyVqxH
#LLB087 Pot inhalers somehow taking in more of it, e.g. through a pipe and in the air (13,7) #LowdownLetterBank #crypticclue #cryptic
Note: I posted this two years ago using "Saint Patty's Day" but I've since learned that "Saint Paddy's Day" is the correct short-form, given that the Irish name is Padraig. And the #letterbank still works!
Sharing some of my wildest #letterbank #crypticclue creations 🤪 as we approach LLB600 and the two-year anniversary of Lowdown Letter Banks on January 25 🥳
Let's see who can get this one! (like the clue if you've solved it or DM for help/confirmation)
#LLB595 Tagging me as that means you must be that much more "Insta-woke" when dashing off mobile text! (2,5,3,2,4,3) 😉 #LowdownLetterBank
It's that time again. Can you solve this #letterbank and determine what many of us are doing? ❤️ if you get it
#LLB339 There are many others for whom ducting repair - literally the last thing you'd want to be doing in December - makes a popular year-end activity! (8,4,2,8) #LowdownLetterBank
Fraser Simpson is Canada's preeminent puzzlemaster (see his supplement below packed with word/logic challenges) 🇨🇦
He's created the weekly #cryptic #crossword for this national newspaper for 30 years and often includes a #letterbank clue. A simple, short and sweet one this week:
A tricky one from #ChristmasEve last year 🎅🦌 (the answer is *not* holiday-themed)
See the thread for an easier version of the clue and then the hint and breakdown 🤓

Yesterday's #NYT #crossword by @DavidTuffs1 used Letter Banks as the key to the theme! Read the recap by @faBioethics below.
It's very rare for the daily #NYTXW to have an #anagram or #letterbank aspect. Nice to see!
