Today's word(s)

miscible \MISS-uh-bul\ - capable of being mixed; specifically : capable of mixing in any ratio without separation of two phases

I've encountered this one recently, and I thought it was from the WOTD.

While I'm here, I've looked ahead to tomorrow's column, too. It's obviously not a new word for me, but I did learn a little something about the French language. Also, here are a couple from today's Dictionary Devil (so don't read on if you're doing the puzzle yourself):

muskellunge /MUSK uh lunj/ - a large North American pike (Esox masquinongy) that has dark markings, may weigh over 60 pounds (27 kilograms), and is a valuable sport fish

This was a new one on me. And (in a mostly unrelated item:) I saw the last 15 minutes or so of a fascinating Nova on cuttlefish last night. Wish I'd seen the whole thing!

 oogenesis /O uh 'jeh nuh sis/ - formation and maturation of the egg

I was familiar with this one, though it took me seeing the definition that matched up with it to place it. I knew right away, though, which word was needed to complete the definition. AKA ovogenesis.
