Official. Still looking for something to go with TURNCOAT – best I can do was TURNCOAT-TURKEY-YIP
Tepanyaki. But it was not accepted.
Two P’s, as the syllable is two beats in Japanese rather than one.

NEUROTYPICAL
Some of us aren’t neoeotypical, though. We are neurotypicak.
*neurotypical. I should go to bed.
official
I saw turnkey and couldn’t make it work. I went with the less official cryonaut-turnpike.
Aw tk you and i so often on same wavelength we could be two frozen heads traveling down the same busy highway
Also want to point out the not acceptable CRYPTONAUT TIKE a pretty good description of the state of alternate currency these days
Also want to point out the not acceptable CRYPTONAUT TRIKE a pretty good description of the state of alternate currency these days
Glad to know I am in such great company.
Official, after a bad day yesterday!
Me too.
Official. I am glad they added a “reset” button, but it threw me at first, I kept thinking it was just “delete.”
I got stuck down a KEYNOTE-EPICUR(E!)/A dead end! 🙁
Wow, me too!
kep – pronunciatory
Good one!

Official. It took a while once settled on TURNKEY (after fussing with TURN-COAT/-PIKE, TAPIOCA, PATRIOT, ENCRYPT, AUTOTYPE. . .and so on).
How many monkeys at how many typewriters for how many years before the words ‘APRICOT’ and ‘TURNKEY’ get paired?
I mean, I figured it out on my own too, but geez. No one is even attempting to connect these words thematically.
Where’s DW, to celebrate the rare occurrence of TURKEY?
Awwww, someone noticed! I was out early birding, so didn’t get to the puzzle until just now. Tried to do something with TURKEY, but failed. However, I did see three wild turkeys today! Plus 66 other species (and one lifer, the Black Tern.)
Anyway, TURNPIKE – ENUNCIATORY. The puzzle didn’t accept the latter, but it’s a PSW FTW.
In addition to TURKEY, 🐦 AUK, PIPIPI, NENE, KNOT, TUI, KAKA 🐦🐦 COOT, ROOK.
I couldn’t see apricot. I ended up with:
RYOKAN-NUTCAKE-EPIC
Then I found a cute little ryokan in the Shenandoah valley.
Couldn’t fins a 2 today. Ended up with PROTOTYPIC CUKE ENACT.
EPIC COAT TURNKEY was my only 3-word solution. I think ACTOR was the only word I got starting with A; never saw Apricot!
Oh, can’t edit my comment. Also got OAT TURNPIKE EYEPIECE, 19/3. Had hopes for PICAYUNE, PATRICIAN, PANCAKE, (Cakey was okayed but not Pancakey) etc.
PRIAPIC and PANCAKE got me nowhere.
Official after a lot of effort.
Turncoat tapioca were dead ends
Official
Official
Spent way too much time on this today. Really thought I had something with TURNPIKE, then maybe OATCAKE, PANCAKE. So then I had to have breakfast and didn’t pick it up until bedtime when I got the OA. Guess my brain just works better in the evening!
Official after getting lost for a while on the Canyon Turnpike.
Out of pocket for this and the day before, just getting back in the swing of things. They’ve messed me all up with the redesigned “user interface”. How’s it an improvement? It’s gonna take a while to unlearn the old one. Sigh…
They’ve screwed with the SB point-counting setup too. Arghhhh.
