Watched and Diploidy
OA mercifully quick. Waiting for someone to see a theme in it….
Me too.
I would think having access to basic sanitation would do the trick… But it takes affluence and influence to get an effluent onychectomy.
Was surprised this was the OA; I was just happy with the efficiency.
I knew you would be the one to see a theme, Mvua 👍
WATCHED – DIPLOIDY.
Good one! I stopped and gave up at WATCHED-DIPLOID
Hi, DHW,
I added the Y last minute. I almost stopped at DIPLOID too and dismiss it. Good thing I thought why not add the Y. 😅😅
This was mine too. Came to me quickly, which is strange because DIPLOIDY is a pretty obscure word—even by LB players’ standards.
watched – diploidy also. But I spent forever trying to make potlatched or detachedly work.

Clue: The Promise: To Have & To Hold isn’t really true after all.
Broken Vow.
Though it could:
Backed Out or Choked, I Do…
Hi, Ms.MVUA,
Hahaha! 🤣😂
Yay!!! You got it! BROKEN VOW, indeed! 👍🤓

TEL
WIC
ROA
DHN
CLUE: M & M’s
Chocolatier redown(? Not really a word methinks) will go back later. Am i close?
Renowned
Hi, OSCAR,
WOW! You got the OA! 👍🤓
CHOCOLATIER – RENOWNED
☢️🌹
Got a long list of good potential words but couldn’t get there. Had to settle for Plowed-detachedly-yip
TYPHOID-DECLAW. Very surprised it was the OA. Worked through WATCHED, (PL)ACIDLY, AWAYDAY, PLAYDATE. TWOEYED was not accepted, not that it helped.
OA. Got watched but didn’t see diploidy – nice!
WELCH – HYPOACIDITY*. I can never resist sneaking my surname into a solution.
I really wanted to pair something with POLYDACTYL(Y).
Another unique answer! 😁
[ PHYLACTIC ~ CHOWED ]
I also think toiled with… phyletic, toweled.
There’s quite a few compound word possibilities with… alpha, delta, photo, phyla, phylo, place…
I’m close to you with PHOTOLYTIC – CLAWED!
Yes! Actually found Calciphylactic first and was super annoyed it wasn’t accepted. Thankfully the root word worked as a stand alone. Couldn’t believe I couldn’t pair polydactyly. Tough one today.
Photolytic – Cawed
Was hoping playacted would work
watched diploidy
YAWP—PITCHPOLED
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/yawp
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pitchpole
☕☕
Yawp is one of my favorite words!
YAWP—PITCHPOLED
☕☕
Ended up with WATCHED-DIPLOIDY
Really thought I’d be able to use POLYDACTYL(Y)
Totally missed TYPHOID
PHOTOLYTIC – CAWED
The intense rays from the sun elicited any even more annoying response from the birds.
Not as good as OA but hey🤷🏻♂️
😲 Yikes, Bernie, did DW see you use ANNOYING and BIRDS in the same sentence ?!
I did not. Where was this horrible crime committed??
Oh dear, it is BEN who used the sentence, not Bernie. My Bad. …and to think I do LB to sharpen my mind…🥴
I will only add, birds aren’t real, so whether they are annoyed or not is irrelevant.
OA here, plus a few Huh? answers including Hypotactic Clawed.
Letterboxed has been difficult for me this week. Settled on 3 word solution
WHIP-PLAYDATE-ECHO (Said the dominatrix, “Same time next week?”)
hypotactic – clawed
Mine was close. HYPOTACTIC-CLEWED.
PHOTOTYPIC-CLAWED. Way too long but very quick.🙂
Aw man, I scrolled down a long time before yours came up—I was starting to hope I’d found a unique answer! 😄 PHOTOTYPIC – CLAWED here too. After spending way too long on this 😜 I got waylaid by WAYLAID lol 😂 as well as DECIDEDLY and DIALECTICAL
Me too. I tried Phototypical-lewd but the former wasn’t allowed.
Polytypic Chawed
OA after so many dead ends. Had to try CHOWDAH just for the fun of it 🙂 Sometimes I just have to walk away and come back to it. Happy Friday all!
As a Mainah, I was extremely disappointed by the rejection of Chowdah.
POLYPHYLETIC – CLAWED
Hmmm… a predator without a common ancestor?
Right away I saw
OPTICAL – LEWDLY – YECH
And now I can’t unsee it.
After meandering through Photoptic, Chelated, Typical (never saw Typhoid), Polytopical and others I saw Potlatched. Still couldn’t solve it so I knew that this Day I was Whipped.
WHIP – POTLATCHED – DAY
OA: watched-diploidy!
oops, I mean not OA!
So pissed to find potlatched and then be able to finish. I sometimes hate this game.
Me too. 🤣 I really wanted chipolata to pair with something.
I had Declaw and tried Phytoid, no luck. Didn’t see Typhoid. Ended up with WHELP POLYDACTYL LAI. Quite a tongue twister.

I’m late again:
TWOPLATEDITCHY (1/14)
LB did not seem to be impressed; just “Not a word”.
I didn’t see typhoid.
After spending too much time I had to settle on three:
PLOW WATCHED DEITY
A farmer saw everything in the cosmos
I had to settle for a three worder this breaking my 10 day streak of two-word solutions.
WHIP-POLYDACTYL-LET
typhoidal-lechwe
I was excited to find this on the first try, but I am a day late so no one will read this (lol)
Hi, LINDA,
I read this.
Hey Linda!
me too! about 8 hours, i think, after you posted.
