WORMFISH HANKIE
same here, delightful image!
That’s excellent! My alternative was Wormfish Harken, which does raise the question To What?
I don’t know, but when you Google pictures; it definitely looks like what they’re doing!
This was my solution, too. Found WORMFISH purely by noodling, as the instructions recommend. It was all over so quickly, I can’t tell if I feel guilty (getting away with one, using a word I didn’t even know), or cheated from a fuller ‘more enriching’ experience!
Anyway, as the kids say: “ALIOW.”
Same. but for me it felt sorta contrived, cause I knew of no such creature, or in what capacity a handkerchief would be useful to them underwater.
Surrender perhaps. Or flirtation.
Same. I did not think this solution would be so popular.
Me, too.
FRAMEWORKS – SHRINK (or SHRINE)
ooo good one. I was looking something to partner SHRINK but couldn’t come up with anything – and when I found FRAMEWORK(S) ended up going for OA instead
Ditto!
FRAMEWORKS – SHRINE here as well. The Acropolis?
Me too, FRAMEWORKS-SHRINE. The shrine bit took me bloody ages! 🤦🏽♀️Shrink is better!
FRAMEWORKS – SHRINE for me too, finally.
FRAMEWORKS / SHRINE here
Frameworks shrink. Ashamed of myself for not getting knish also being from Brooklyn!
OA came very easily since I grew up a subway stop from Coney Island 🎢
FRAMEWORKS — SHRINK
Mawkish seemed promising but I couldn’t make it work
Should have added that ENFORM — MAWKISH would have been a nice 13/2, but wasn’t allowed
I tried ENFORM – MAWKISH too, then found ENSIFORM – MAWKISH.
ENSIFORM apparently means ‘sword shaped’ in botanical circles.
Same as Jill.
Framework (added the s) and Shrink. A fast game is a good game. 🙂
Frameworks Shrine. Don’t like it but it’ll do. Shrine actually took a while.
Must get more than 3 hours sleep tonight. It might help 🙂
WORMFISH – HARKEN
Frameworks Sharkskin
This is excellent!
Frameworks sharkskin here
A weird one! MINEWORKS – SAWFISH
Frameworks Shrine here as well.
Got the OA surprised that my totally random try at knish with the remaining letters worked! Had no idea what it meant – they look good though!
They are good! In my day, on the Brooklyn beach called Coney Island, knishes would be hawked in a singsong “Hot knishes. Get your hot knishes!”
framework – knish
FRAMEWORKS — SHRINE
OA. Originally had FRAMEWORKS – SHRINE, but wanted to see if FRAMEWORK – KINKISH would work (it didn’t). That led to a “Hey, isn’t a Knish a thing?” moment. 🤷♂️

POTATO KNISH
(abridged version, from my grandmother’s old recipe)
1. Make a simple puff pastry dough, using schmaltz and butter in equal amounts.
Roll thin.
2. Make a filling of mashed potatoes, onions sautéed in schmaltz, a bit of grated carrot, plenty of chopped gribenes, salt and pepper.
3. Place a scoop of filling in the center of a square of pastry (about 5″ x 5″), and wrap into a round little “package”, and seal with egg wash.
4. Brush with schmaltz, bake at 375* until golden brown. Serve hot.
…onions sautéed in schmaltz
😄
You learn something new every day.
Speaking of Frameworks to work off, NYT Connections was really pushing it today imho. Too many possible groupings. Fun though. 😄
Wormfish — Harken Not really impressed…I like many of the others more
MIneworks – Sharif
….didn’t think sharif would be accepted but it was ! First original answer for me !
Why don’t my comments get posted?
Alicia, I had this problem when ‘in Moderation’ forever while waiting to get the go-ahead to post. You seem okay now! 🙂
Thanks! Yes mine are finally going through 🙂
Frameworks Shrink – got it 30 seconds
Ditto!
