Miskatonic U. was just a joke on my part. It is a fictional university created by H.P. Lovecraft. Many of the characters in his stories go there to read old books that usually have something to do with raising or putting down evil beings of some sort or other.

I think I heard this term but I couldn't place it.
I know I have to read Lovecraft, but I can't find the time at the moment. :-/

I haven't played Anchorhead, but if it is based on Lovecraft I can almost guarantee Miskatonic University is in it.

I didn't have a lot of time to try today, but I don't know how much it would have helped. It was definitely hard today...

Status : Online | Yeah, very hard. It's easier today, but I can't spend time on this as much from now on. Up to here I spent half an hour on that page (doing Sets and Quiddler) to look for words and maybe score in the game. Now I can only afford 5 minutes.
Yesterday's solution:
za - kif - con - adjuvant = 112
I found that with an anagram engine. It was quite fast to get to due to the general difficulty.
Longest:
adjunction (you almost had it)
Today:
-7 letters-
tournee
-8 letters-
evermore
inherent
overture

Keep it going, anyone!
Bastich is excused, he has enough work with his quiz.
I probably won't update this any more. Takes too much time and to be honest, it's getting tiresome and I'm getting worse and worse.
