Playground Duchy

Went with: chop playground; they’re found on most butcher’s blocks.

Crunch & Holography. That’ll do me, despite and orphaned d. 😊

Some solutions containing GRAPH, with all but one being PSW types only:

LAUNCH—HYDROGRAPHY

ADUNC*—CYCLOGRAPH*
CRUNODAL*—LOGOGRAPHY*
CYCLOGRAPH*—HOUND
DUNCH*—HOLOGRAPHY
DUNCH*—HAPLOGRAPHY
URANOGRAPHY—YCLAD*

I can never get the double-barrelled words like PLAYGROUND. Some kind of mental blind spot.

GRAPHOLOGY YAP PUD

CHORDAL LONG GROUPY

Chop Playground for me too
