Fastest solve to date
CHINWAG—GRUMPY
An oxymoron, since CHINWAG means a friendly chat, not a GRUMPY one.

Chinwag Grumpy
I seldom get the OA if it is eccentric/foreign (VUVUZELA), technical (HEXAHEDRON, HEMOGLOBIN, KILOHERTZ), or insignificant in my life (like what is a Blowflies).
Two fails – two solves – two fails, consecutively.
Settled for a QUAD:
URANIUM – MUCH – HIGHWAY – YAP

The editor this week is not generous. I understand that sometimes he wants to throw us off.

I wish I can fly in an airplane someday. I haven’t ridden in one yet. But I’m always in awe of these mechanical birds.

OA. Getting very few solves over the last two weeks or so so glad to get one today!
Same. I’m generally not quick at LB and if I run out of time, then no solve for that day. I found GRUMPY right away but wasn’t sure CHINWAG was a real word.
Another one-hit wonder today, I imagine. Why is Sam starving is with all of these gimmicky, highly-constrained arrays of late? Let loose people’s creativity!
*us
Chasing small words looking for a compound or two. Best I got to before quitting was Unrich Highway (with MP still open). This week LB has been an unrich highway indeed. And I’m GRUMPY.
👍
I share your sentiments DW. I wouldn’t have ever come up with CHINWAG. Going to have to set a time limit or take a break if the puzzles continue in this direction. Thought I was onto something with HIGHWAY, MYNAH, CHAGRIN…. Oh well. Off to more fulfilling adventures 🙂
Oa. An occasion esoteric word once week at most or on Sunday but day after day is frustrating. I love the game but lately not so much.
Agreed. And the single answer is less than satisfying on its own terms. Some esoteric words are fun to discover– but chinwag, not so much. Makes me grumpy!
OA. At long last! After a full week of failed attempts!
OA. I was actually surprised to see that my solution was the OA as I didn’t think that the puzzle master was forcing us into CHINWAG. That’s a pretty obscure word.
it was fun to find MUGWUMP today, even if it didn’t pair with something to fill the box.
Same here. No solution but fun to find Mugwump, Gymp, Pigmy/Pygmy.
Yep!
OA. Is there any other 2 word solution?
no. just the one.
Another puzzle that could attract blowflies.
I got grumpy first, then tried chinwag to see if it’s a word and, wow, it is!
CHARM MUGWUMP PINY
Not familiar with Chinwag
Weird day. MUCHACHA was accepted 🤷♀️
OA, finally. Got GRUMPY as the first word, and then two hours (way too much time!) trying to match MUGWUMP (great word) CHAGRIN, etc. Hard LB all week!
Chinwag sounds like something from the Pickwick Papers. 🙄 (Disclaimer: possible sour grapes)
😄
GRUMP / PIRANHA / ARCHWAY
There was one solution today:
** Don’t look at the list if you haven’t finished solving the puzzle **
(The first number is a count and the second number is the number of letters used)
1 – 13 chinwag / grumpy
OA.
what I am after finally finishing this puzzle!!!!
