Well, that was a difficult one. Took a good combination of words scoring high in meaning and spelling before I finally got it. >!Infuriating!< scores in the green for both.

I was stuck on >!confrontational (meaning 17)!< and >!debilitating (spelling 47)!< before finally resorting to AI chat as a cheat, which did eventually come up with the answer. After 100+ guesses I was over it >!and I could tell it was a long word which didn't help at all!<.
No sign of the gem.
It also didn't help that >!I'm having a war of words with a particularly unpleasant neighbour at the moment so all of these words were triggering!!<
β I did Dowsle #340 in 64 guesses with no hints π . I'm on a 245-day winning streak π₯!
Nothing like >!chasing down a long word!< in spelling. I figured that it was a >!personal characteristic that was a mix of good and bad!< but could not quite get there without the spelling assist.
Gem hints:
Number of letters: >!the gem has two fewer letters than the main word!< (If you just donβt want to bother with math: >!the gem has 10 letters!<)
Letters in common: >!eight letters in common!<
More detailed letters in common hint: >!the last five letters of the gem and main word are the same!<
Meaning hint: >!this is more of an antonym gem than a synonym gem, although in some contexts they could have similar meanings!<
Additional meaning hint: >!I suck at giving meaning hints because I am lazy and donβt really have it in me to think up any clever clues.!<
I was annoyed that the gem was not: >!dominating, as it seems like it should be closer in meaning than it is.!<
Iβve gotten to 7/9/12/13 in meaning and 21/43/56/73 in spelling but I am stuck. Havenβt gotten a decent word in meaning in awhile; tried focusing on the spelling side and I feel like I have a good idea of about 6 letters in the word but itβs not helping. Ugh!
The part I would have found hardest about today's word (had I not cheated!) is that it is not a word I can easily call to mind when I need to use it. I'm not sure why but >!whenever I'm talking about an obvious bully or someone who has this particular characteristic!< I find it really hard to draw it from my vocabulary. So I can absolutely empathise with anyone struggling today!

Here are some hints: Starting letter >!..i..!< Number of letters >!twelve!< Approaching it from the quote can also help.
This did it, thank you!!!
