        1. Another PUBLICAN – NORTH here, after finally giving up on CHTHONIC, which I would have been excited to use but couldn’t find a match for.

    1. Lol, yet another PUBLICAN – NORTH, after spending much time trying to complete ~PHOBIC – CURTAIL / ~PHOBIC / CURTAIN. You’d think with all the phobias in the world I could come up with one that contains an “N” OR an “L,” but having to lead into PHOBIA without the I or an O bested me — even when looking at a list of phobias after finding our favored solution for today. Oh well, can’t complain about a 13/2! 😁

    2. Late to LB today but contributing another PUBLICAN-NORTH. Favorite stops along the way were Paraphiliac, Carbolic, and Apricot. . .

    1. I got PATCHOULI INBORN as well. I was so tickled. Looking up the origin of the word patchouli now. Great word, redolent of hippiness and seventies swamis.

      1. Same answer here. Not very satisfying, but at least it’s better than the OA, IMHO.
        I’d say Publican North is the pick of the litter today.

  1. Summary of my LB hour:

    PUBLICAN—NORTH popped out first. Publican sounded Roman-something to me, and looking it up, remembered it as a tax collector.

    HUBCAP—PROLACTIN caught my eye, and again, verified on prolactin for it to be a hormone.

    PHOTINO—ORBICULAR interested me. A photino is the hypothetical supersymmetric partner of the photon.

    OCTOTHORP—PUBLICAN was next, and I never knew octothorp was another name for the hash symbol #.

    PHOTONIC—CORBICULA had a ring to it, and seemingly connected to the other solution with the photon. The corbicula is the structure on a bee that collects pollen. I love using Merriam-Webster in parallel with Letter Boxed! 🙂

    I ended thoughts with TRIATHLON—NONPUBLIC and ULTRATHIN—NONPUBLIC.

  2. Interesting puzzle today. Found BRONCHIAL right away, but couldn’t pair it. Nearly made it home with PAROCHIAL–LUBRICANT (it really would have made my day, TI-wise), but on today’s board the N and T cannot join. Couldn’t pair BINOCULAR either.

    Ended up settling for PROHIBIT–TRINOCULAR. The second word is PSW but not recognized by LB.

    1. Village pub? I like this one best. (Had to look up thorp)

      I got publican-north.

      Was surprised briar patch is two words or hyphenated. So many things/places named ‘briarpatch’.

  3. I was disappointed because I found several really good words that used a lot of letters but, alas, nothing to pair. I really really wanted PARTICULAR to work. I liked BUBONIC also. PROTOLITHIC was another exciting find as well. I gave up. Phobic – curtain – nil.
