Same here, I like this one even though it’s not super efficient.
Oh, I soooo wanted to be the first to post this answer. Literally what I’m doing as I was solving, and didn’t care if there was greater efficiency; cause for my (relaxing after graveyard shift) TI needs, it’s the best solution. (don’t worry; just 1, then bed – sorry, tmi for fun) Cheers! and good night.
I had no idea you worked in a cemetery, MVUA! And at night, to boot! 😉
Fishcake, Sorry for the American idiom, and Jabberwocky is a great favorite! Cheers (ok, 2 then) again!
I was being facetious. I have worked many graveyard shifts myself, most of them not in cemeteries. Enjoy the Brewskis!
Fishcake, you seem like good company for a brewski in a graveyard! Cheers!
I wish! Doing a dry January here so settled for the OA.
OVERBAKING GNAWS
Me too! Just burnt a loaf, and it’s really gnawing at me…
Just the OA here but enjoying the alternatives.
Sweet dreams Mvua 😴
Same. Brokering, awakenings, bravado. Oa in quick succession. It seemed an easy day for all nyt puzzles.
Thanks Steph! And a great day to you!
Likewise, OVERBAKING – GNAWS.
Like yesterday, today is easy for me.
If it’s easy I complain. If it’s difficult I also complain.
Hehehe!
I want a satisfying solve!
As my grandfather wrote, nearly a century ago:
As a rule, man’s a fool.
When it’s hot, he wants it cool.
When it’s cool, he wants it hot;
Always wanting what is not.
Same. Almost immediately.
OA here, almost instantly. No complaints here about that!
Yes, this is where I ended up as well. So many possibilities that came up a letter short.
Same!
OVERBAKING / GNAWS as well.
I stumbled on OVERKINGS SWAB.
If an OVERKING is a king of kings, he probably would let one of the lesser kings SWAB.
OVERKINGS-SWAB here as well!
Same here
Same
Birds: I found BOROGOVES! But it was not accepted. I wonder whether other Lewis Carroll Jabberwocky words have slipped into common usage. 🤔
My BRUSKIS are for SAVORING
OA here as well.
Found Skewering and really tried to jam aboves in there, which led to some interesting online dictionary time as to the gray area if it can take the plural form. Word nerding for the day def covered. 🙂
I’m on mobile so I’m not 100% sure but I think this is the first OA thread?
Was surprised that my answer was the OA 🤣
My wordlist was: ANGRIER BEINGS BENIGN BRISKER GIVENS GOVERNOR GOVERNS REVIVING REWAKENING SKEWERING VERBOSE WAIVER WAKENING WAVERING WAVING
This is my exact story except I never found bravos. 🙄
Overtaking-gnaws
OA eventually…got sidetracked when I discovered that REWAKENING (vs. reAwakening) is actually a word. Hat tip to to all the BREWSKIS, that’s a great find!
BRAINWAVES-SOAKING
A relatively quick one for me. I suspected that there were multiple solutions. Happy New Year good people!
Another BRAINWAVES – SOAKING here. Like basking in the glow of one’s thoughts after solving LB!
Brainwaves soaking here too
Pretty sure this TI is related to savoring brewskis.
overbaking – gnaws
Another OVERBAKING – GNAWS. Too many years of breadmaking for that to sound anything but negative.
Overbaking & Gnaws, cause one thing obviously leads to the other. 😄
I settled quickly for the OA, but I’m delighted by the excellent alternatives – especially MVUA’s!
BREWSKIES/SAVORING
I don’t try for “more efficient” anymore. First try, brewskis, savoring
OVERBAKING-SKEWERING
Oops. Meant to say OVERBAKES-SKEWERING
Overbakes – Skewering
OVERBAKES — SKEWERING here too.
Happened a lot this last week, hoping to do both the cake and the grill at the same time!
I found OVERBIASINGS / SKEW
Love that
overbaking-gnaws
Omg, I should’ve got that but missed it! I did find BRAVO, also SKEWERING, and lots of near 2w’s and nice 3w’ers – finally got OVERBAKING GNAWS too. Whew!
AWAKENINGS SOBER RAVE was a 3w’er with maybe some New Years’ relevance.
I found this 3 word solution: BIKINI / IGNORES / SINEWAVE
Also found
AWNING / GROVE / EBIKES
BAKES / SEWS / SAVORING
SAVINGS / SKEWER / ROBE
AIRWAVES / SOB / BAKING
AWAKES / SOBER / RAVING
ANSWER / ROBE / EVOKING
OA here. I love the brewskis savoring answer!!
Another one for OVERBAKING – GNAWS.
BREWSKIS / SAVOR / RING
GRAB / BREWSKI / INVOKE
BOB / BREWSKIS / SAVORING
OA. When a K without a C is offered, I often struggle, but today the OA presented itself in just a couple minutes. An easy, if unimaginative, solution.
Another OA today, and a little surprised again that it was OA. Continued looking for something a little more efficient/thematic, but didn’t see anything. Kudos to all the alternate solutions!
