is there a difference between Autonomy and Autocracy? Cause I kept trying Autocracy.

Level 89

Jun 9, 2018

autonomy: "Self-government; freedom to act or function independently."

autocracy: "A form of government in which unlimited power is held by a single individual."

So yes, there's a fairly obvious difference.

Autoimmunity is the natural condition of having become immune to certain infections through exposure. When that process breaks down so you become prey to simple infections, that is an autoimmunity disorder. Autoimmunity isn't the thing, it's the thing that has gone wrong.

Level 89

Jun 9, 2018

autoimmunity: "The condition where one's immune system attacks one's own tissues, i.e., an autoimmune disorder."

What you're talking about is simply "immunity."

Good opportunity to change the word. It slightly sandpapers my chocolate starfish to see robot = automaton, because it just isn't the same thing.

For the sake of being pedantic I will note that "autopiste" came up as being a French term for freeway in my limited research

I tried that too lol

I'm a 40 years old french-speaking Belgian (from Wallonie), I've spent my life watching TV shows, news, movies, reading (a lot) in French, I've never seen or heard autopiste ever.

Maybe it's a French Canadian thing?

Level 77

Jan 9, 2026

I am a French-speaking Canadian and I can assure you no one uses "autopiste". Our multi-lane, exit-limited roadways are called "autoroutes" just as they are in France. "Autopiste" sounds like a back-translation of the Spanish word "autopista".

TIL there is no r in ‘automaton’. Always thought that was where ‘animatronic’ came from

Level 76

animatronics is a combination of animation and electronics.

I'm really surprised nobody has suggested "automotive" as an acceptable answer for "automobile"? Is there a reason that's not allowed?

Level 76

Apr 14, 2025

I would say automotive is the ability of something to move on it own, while an automobile is the thing that "moves on its own". The clue asks for a vehicle.
