        Same Columns Sportily (SI opinion pages); also Proconsul Luminosity (Pilate light); Mitomycins Sculptor (CRISPR); and Polytropic Columns (bees in formation, army ants on the march). A rich array, as anticipated after a series of one-offs.

      2. Another COLUMNS – SPORTILY, along with CUMINS* – SPORTILY, UNMICS* – SPORTILY, UNCLUMPS* – SPORTILY. Took a long time for me, I couldn’t find anything with INTRINSIC, MISPRINT and a host of others.

      3. Another COLUMNS – SPORTILY for me too. Calls to mind old coliseums — feels Olympics-adjacent, at least.

        I found SPORTILY early on but couldn’t find a pair to for the leftovers, then I found COLUMNS and searched quite awhile for a pair for that as well, until I put them together! 🤦‍♂️

    1. Radioactive Flower

      Mine is: CONCURS – SIMPLICITY.

      The array looked so easy. That’s why I’m madly frantic to solve it quickly. I was wrong. It took one hour to solve. Also, I feel like the puzzle today needs an ‘A’.

      1. Hey RrifF!
        To me the hard part was having all the vowels on one side, so we couldn’t do common consecutive vowels like OU or IO.
        Plus that pesky Y which usually has to be stuck at the end of one word and almost never can start a word (except for “YOU…” words which aren’t possible in today’s array).

        But – we did get it done! ✅ 👍👋👋

        1. oops! it was
          cornus–simplicity
          hence the botany connection. couldn’t let go of ‘simplicity’.
          wish I’d found something acceptable as concurs.

    2. UNICORNS-SIMPLICITY for me too, same letter count as OA. I spent quite a while on COMPLICITLY and SIMPLICITY until I finally found this.

    1. Found many POLY words:

      POLYOMINOS — SCULPTOR

      TURNIP — POLYSOMIC

      POLYURIC — CONSUMPT* (LB does take it but it is in the OED)

      1. Nice ones, Bill

        TURNIP–POLYSOMIC was one of mine, along with
        POSITRONIC–CLUMSY.

        Several x-CLUMS(IL)Y solutions down there (including one w/’PROTONIC’), but I don’t think I saw this one.

  1. PROTONIC CLUMSILY

    I spent too long looking for a mate for COMPOSIT(ORS) and COMPUTOR(S). Once I gave up on those, I saw CLUMSILY and then PROTONIC was sort of right there.

    Tjme for some shuteye.

  2. My 1st solution:
    MONTICULUS SPRY
    My 2nd solution:
    MONTICULUS SYRUP

    LB actually gave me a “Genius!” for “Monticulus”
    … so what is it?
    From Collin’s English Dictionary:
    “1. a small protrusion on the face or top of something
    2. a protrusion of the cerebellum created by the middle part of the superior vermis”

    Okay.

    From Wiktionary:
    “monticulus (plural monticuli)
    1. A little elevation.”

    So i guess my TIs are:
    1) being agile while climbing small hills
    -OR-
    2) that mound of sweet sticky liquid that flows down and infuses your Saturday morning pancakes …. ✅
    😎🐝

    1. Same here. Didn’t think it was OA but I like the TI of it:

      Amidst the cacophony of the ill-trained musicians, clumps [of] sonority rang out on the hour from the revered grandfather clock standing politely in the corner.

    1. CYCLOSPORIN — NOTUM

      The insect had a thorax replacement, so they gave it some cyclosporin.

      I had never heard of numpty or notum until today!

      1. Came across it in an earlier puzzle. Connected it in my head to Humpty Dumpty, who had no business sitting on a wall.

    1. I wanted “positrino”, but it wasn’t to be:

      Webster: positrino, n. a hypothetical atomic particle similar to the neutrino and having an immeasurably small mass and a positive charge.

      Surprised it wasn’t in OED.

      1. POSITRONIC – CLUMSY works, and I would have never considered it without your post.

        POSITRONIUM doesn’t work because of the I and U on the same side, but it is in the OED.

    1. Nice OA.
      At first I thought they were going to use OLYMPICS in the OA, but it’s only a proper name apparently.
