An ellipse is always an oval, but an oval is not always an ellipse. Sort of like squares and rectangles.

The biblical one is very misleading. I tried everything but that. An elect is anyone who's been appointed by others to fulfill a role (an elect official, for example), not specificly a biblical one.... Please consider changing the hint.

I would recommend including Calvinism somewhere in the clue since 'elect' is a Calvinistic concept whereas the Bible covers concepts that reach beyond Calvinism and in fact most non-Calvinist Christians are unlikely to have ever heard the term elect used.

Extort is a direct "in-your-face" method of stealing which uses coercion. Embezzlement is stealing money you have access to, but no right to take, and is always done surreptitiously.

Egg-shaped = oval
EcceHomo
+1
Level 81
Jan 25, 2024
Yep, egg or egg-shaped is an acceptable answer for oval, certainly etymologically:

oval

2 of 2

adjective

: having the shape of an egg

also : broadly elliptical

ovality

ō-ˈva-lə-tē

noun

ovally

ˈō-və-lē

adverb

ovalness noun

Adjective

Medieval Latin ovalis, from Late Latin, of an egg, from Latin ovum

(source Merriam-Webster)

I'm not saying it should be egg rather than elliptical / ellipse. They should both be allowed.

I've seen it spelled a number of ways in crosswords, but always with the disclaimer "variant", if not "aerie". I tried several, forgot about this one. Oh, well...

Same. I knew the answer, and then tried to spell it incorrectly to have it begin with an e, but never thought to try a y in there. I've only ever seen it aerie.

Embrace seems a bit loose for hug, and same for elder; it just means anyone senior, "tribal" seems entirely inappropriate.

I think adding "tribal" makes it more obvious because it has been used in that sense so much. And I don't see how embrace could be loose for a hug.

I think AllenY meant that it only becomes a hug when you embrace tightly, not loosely.

Egg-shaped for oval?
sihollett

Level 87
Feb 10, 2019
the clue is in the etymology too - oval is literally egg related. However eggs are ovoid, 3-dimensional, whereas ovals are merely 2-d, and that is presumably why that obvious and natural answer is rejected and only the more learned answer accepted.

I know this is nitpicking, but the clue for epilepsy isn't necessarily correct since epilepsy doesn't cause seizures, it's the term for a diagnosis of someone who has a history of seizures (I believe 2 or more seizures). Everybody who has epilepsy has seizures, but not everybody who's had a seizure has epilepsy.
