The answers are:
FUMEDDRAGONFLY
OA
Same…
I once invested a good deal of time watching a dragonfly molt, only to see it eaten by a swooping bird as it finally launched into flight. I can’t say I was fumed (miffed, maybe) and definitely left to ponder.
Unformed Dangly
UNFORMED – DANGLY
unframed – dogly
UNFORMED — DANGLY
Same here…
UNFORMED DANGLY club for me too.
An invertebrate.
Ditto
UNFORMED DANGLY
MULED – DRAGONFLY.
Pretty similar.
This was my answer too, essentially the same as OA. 👍
UNDAMAGED DRAGONFLY
so much better than
MAULED DRAGONFLY
Great pairings, Jill! Save the Dragonflies!
love it
We got the mauled version 🙂
Another Unformed Dangly, which ain’t too bad for TI and efficiency. The OA, also 14/2, lacks TI, but I think Dragonfly is strong enough to make up for it.
UNFRAMED-DOGLY
that works! UNFRAMED-DOGLY … those out-of-focus photos of Rover that you just can’t bear to part with.
UNFRAMED DOGLY here, too!
Got this 13/2 as well, E and Claire!
Kept leaning towards demagogy, ended up with
UNFURLED DEMAGOGY
UnMangled-dragonfly
UNFORMED-DANGLY as well.
This is good!
OA for a change!
OA for me.
Some other dragonfly types:
MURALED—DRAGONFLY
UNARMED—DRAGONFLY
And a 13/2 solution with no discernible TI:
ORGANUM—MEDFLY
Mauled Dragonfly- I feel brutal.
Annoyed too I couldn’t link Gourmand and Eyeful.
Gourmand – Defly
Defly was not accepted, but neither was the soup! … “Waiter!”
Unmanaged dragonfly
Muled Dragonfly
Another random try accepted …
UNFORMED–DRAGONFLY
Figured there was a more elegant solution out there, but this was what came to me first. Too much going on today to pare things down.
muled – dragonfly
unframed dogly … it took “dogly”, who knew?
MULED – DRAGONFLY I pictured a dragonfly with a harness doing the bidding of some non-flying creature.
Another UNFORMED-DRAGONFLY here, which took me a shamefully long time to spot.
I was distracted by so many TI words that didn’t seem to have matchups:
– (UN)MANLY, MALE, FEMALE, and ANDROGYNY (as well as ORGAN),
– MANGLED, MAULED, DAMAGED, and DEFORMED
– YOUNG and AGED,
– FUNGAL and LAUNDRY…
GANDALF was also in there, not an acceptable word of course, but it’s always fun to find him.
Forgive my ignorance, but what does TI stand for?
Thematic Integrity apparently. Or perhaps Tenuous Interpretation.
Tenuous Interpretation is definitely a better description of what I do. Thanks for that! Thought Image is really accurate too!
TI can also mean Thoroughly Ignored or Tedious Intrusion.
Ha! I gotta earn that integrity.
This is all great!
TI = Thematic Integrity
PSW = Playable Scrabble Word
OA = Official Answer
X/Y = X letters in Y words.
🙂
So it pays to ask. Had myself convinced it meant Thought Image 🙂
🙂
Props 👍. Other one spoon, is it too personal to ask your handle’s meaning?
UNFURLED – DEMAGOGY. Make America Grate Again.
👍
Unformed, Dangly.
Jealous, cause the OA is so nice! Dragonflies are my favourite.
I agree about dragonflies.
I got UNFORMED DANGLY too, inspired by my plums.
OA for me…
ORGANUM-MEDFLY was accepted… not terribly delectable but much better than the image I had of UNFORMED-DANGLY.
Unalarmed-Dragonfly
Love all the versions!
Unframed dragonfly before I realized there were more efficient answers
OA today and super quick
Late to the party (and LB) today, winding up with OA.
OA for me. I saw dragonfly right away probably because it’s August and we have a pond where we sit sipping wine watching the ferocious little critters.
