The answers are:
VERMOUTHHANKY
Vermant- thankyou
found Thankyou, but never heard of Vermant. What does it mean ?
that is certainly typed in here incorrectly to recount at M and A are on the same side of the puzzle.
I also am pretty certain that’s not a word.
VARMENT* – THANKYOU
Varment is an alternative spelling of varmint. It means a wild animal.
I don’t disagree with you that VARMENT is a variation spelling of Varmint, however, my letter box game will not accept that answer.
THANKYOU is an acceptable word? How? Yet THANKER is not! 🙄
A thankyou is a noun- like sending a thankyou. I was surprised when it worked too 😀
OA.
AVERMENT THANKYOU. (AVERMENT -affirming)
same!
Same!
Same. Mine would not accept Varment Thankyou.
Same.
Averment – thankyou
Why, you’re welcome!
I figured out my solution just in few minutes yesterday. PLUMBLINE & EXTENDING
I got the same as OA today.
OA and surprised that it is. Really thought Vermouth Hanky was the sort of nutjob answer only I come up with 🙂
Another nutjob VERMOUTH-HANKY here. Old-fashioned smelling salt method?
A bar towel, cause whether it’s a screwball or a nut job, if you spill it, you gotta have something to wipe it up. (Though I think those are both whiskey cocktails.)
Failed a 2-word solution, but happy to find MVUA!
Aww, thanks!
I didn’t see it.
I got the OA too. I was also surprised that was it! I was sure it was an alternative answer. But sure enough…
My thoughts exactly when I found the OA. Also not sure hanky is a real word, unless teamed with panky. 🤔
Oa almost immediately. Saw thankyou first though.
VERMOUTH HANKY
Yesterday was my first time to match the official answer (although I usually solve in two), and I matched up again today!
OA, and:
AVERMENT—THANKYOU
REVETMENT—THANKYOU
Averment comes from the verb “aver”.
Revetment is a type of “embankment”.
☕
vermouth – hanky
I never get in two which is why I am not worthy of this club. But my wife does, and I hate her. Ha!
OA, rare for me (and took me forever). I got obsessed with KNAVERY but it didn’t return my affections 🙂
Yes, Knavery, alas, proved fickle, in a very Meta way.
Thankyou was beguiling, and I started off with Averment / Revetment Thankyou before finding the Vermouth, for the obvious OA. Not that it’s bad. Highly efficient if absurdist.
I was so close to giving up when I found the OA. Really tough one for me today. Super relieved and surprised that I found it.
OA today
OA, and figured it would be. Took a while getting there today! 😅
Ugh – failed today after failing to find a pairing for THANKYOU, KNAVERY, TAKEOUT…. Licking my wounds and gearing up for tomorrow!
I found: KNAVERY / YOUTH / HOME
I’m so glad I gave up. Wouldn’t have found VERMOUTH in a month of Sundays.
