The answers are:
COCKROACHHUMILIATION
Hahaha OA is funny.
I gave up after trying a bit.
I GOT HUMILIATION BUT GAVE UP. Couldn’t find anything to go with it
ULTRAMARATHON NICK
I got COCKROACH. I didn’t try hard to pair it coz I don’t like it.
Lots of cockroaches in the house.
🙁
Oh, brilliant! I found MARATHON, and it didn’t accept ULTRATHON. I never thought of ULTRAMARATHON!
Word Play:
Two words:
(_ _st) (n_ _ _ _)
hint: a very recent past
Last night?
Brilliant! FISHCAKE, you’re correct! 😉
Last night.
Much better than the lb, which left me humiliated!
I didn’t see the cockroach! Went with one-shy ARCH-HUMILIATION. Also found MURMURATION, the starling version of which I watch every evening above the pier of our Welsh seaside town. Beautiful!
Multichain Nork. Both are new words for me.
Ditto. Who knew NORK would be acceptable…
Nork is a word I have only heard voiced in the pleural , usually with Great in front of it as an exclamation (UK)
Never heard of it in singular or plural forms
Same answer, same reaction. Apologies. I just typed the random letters and voila(!), Dave accepted it.
MULTICHAIN and NORK … to my shame
??? Why is Nork allowed but Bitch is not?
So random – I was expecting a rejection
NK
Failed today but quite liked the the three word solution I got to:
Traumatic Cocktail Lunch
Like it!
Like in Company!
MULTICHAIN-NORK with same sentiment as Jo. Should have stopped with my threebie MULTITRACK-KITH-HON though hon generally also demeaning…
ATONIC – CHURNMILK (which we call buttermilk on this side of the pond).
Sorry, CHURNMILK*
I tried CHURNMILK, but it didn’t even turn out to be a PSW according to Merriam-Webster.
Anyway, ended up with the OA after quite a long think. Seems to be how I’ve been doing it lately.
AMNIOTIC—CHURNMILK*
☕☕
MACROCLIMATIC CHUNK
Me too, and:
MICROCLIMATIC CHUNK
☕
Same here, using the MICRO configuration.
ultramarathon – nick
HOLMIUM—MINITRACK
₆₇Ho—📡
Failed. MULTITRACK KIN NOAH. Also found location, truncation, honoration, milk, minicar, lock, rock, minitrack, control, count, court, contain, mail, chainmail, raincoat, north, cocktail, colouration, haunt, khaki and tailcoat.
Failed, as well so
TRAUMATIC – CLOTH – HUNK
“If I Only Had a Brain”
Foiled again; my best 3w’s: CHAINMAIL LOT TRUNK, and ORTHOTIC CLUNK KARMA. First guess 15/4: MULCH HONK KIT TAR. Other dead ends; CATHARTIC, or MAINTAIN.
multichain – nork. i cant believe i didn’t get either of the words in the oa. both of my words were just things i typed out and hoped would be words lol.
Funny OA. I have been there many times.
My answer was MICROCLIMATIC CHUNK.
But also had MACRON NUNCHAKU ULTIMA (Emanuel showing off his skills?)
Pardon me. EMMANUEL
OA, but in addition I’m here to tell you how to come back from cockroach humiliation.
MULTICOLOR — ROTATION — NUNCHAKU
This page has the most annoying ad pop ups ever!
I surpassed an hour because I thought I was close. NOT!
Great words, no matches:
cathartic, rotation, continuation,
munition, chainmail, traumatic,
cocktail, truncation, contrail,
column, armlock
And mad that “milkcarton” didn’t hit
😂😵😵💫
I wish there was a hint feature of some sort where you could input you best words once you admit defeat, and you’re informed if any have a match.
cockroach – humiliation
Chainmail
Amniotic
Catatonic
Cathartic
Munchkin
Gave up like a Kafkaesque COCKROACH, such HUMILIATION!!
COCKROACH HUMILIATION!!
They do that to those who fear them! LOL!
Had Humiliation right away, cockroach took awhile … finally hit me on my evening walk!
Yipeee! Enjoyed reading the other options.
Just not seeing/feeling it on this one. OA is good, though.

OA here. It brought to mind a particularly smart, funny XFiles episode many people probably found too much to bear.
Bah, second failure in a row. Had HUMILIATION, but didn’t see COCKROACH (and didn’t really think to look for something starting with those first four letters). I looked for words starting with MICRO/MACRO, and also found CLIMATIC, but never thought to pair them together. 🤦♂️ At least today’s OA felt fairer than ECHINODERM. 🙄🙄🙄
