RAINWASHHOMESICK
HARMONICAS – SKEW
likewise
Sorry, not quite. Mine is Harmonics Skew.
also HARMONICS-SKEW.
more efficient than OA-ha!
Harmonics Skew. Fastest solve yet!
Harmonics Skew = dissonance
Same, harmonics skew, most efficient
Likewise. Plus Microeconomics/seahawk*
Yeah, I got that but they wouldn’t except seahawk(s)
This was the only solution I came up with. Was so pissed they wouldn’t accept Seahawk. It’s like they’ve never been to Seattle.
HARMONICAS – SKEW as well. Didn’t notice the last A was unnecessary. Today went fairly quickly after I quit fiddling with Wisecrack(s).
Same here. Although I had a short stint considering COHESION and HORSEMEN. RAINWASH probably wasn’t a word I’d come up with but adding it to the list!
Started with Harmonics Skew (when the Sopranos go flat) but also have the mouth-organ variations Harmonica Askew and Harmonicas Skew, because you’re just asking for trouble when you throw a harmonica into the mix. And for something completely different (which I never would have expected to be the OA), Rainwash Homesick – nostalgic for Seattle, or a literalist take on “nostalgie de la boue”.
OA for my solution today.
Similar harmonica askew
Yup!
WHACKOES SEMINAR
Same
Love that! There are so opportunities to use that description 😄
Same. WHACK was the first word I played with and decided that it needed a suffix if it was going to work. Ones I found WHACKOES the rest was easy. My TI is a Trump University Open House presentation.
Mine too.
Same.
Mohawk is NOT acceptable?!!
Annoyed me too.
It is in Scrabble.
It’s a popular hairstyle amongst sasquatches.
HARMONICS — SKEW
HARMONICA — ASKEW
Also spent time with ECONOMICS, MICROECONOMICS, NICKNACKS, KWASIORKOR
I stopped at HAWKISH-HORSEMEN (no C).
Really wanted HOMESICK to work but ended with a 13/2 in HARMONICS-SKEW
HARMONICAS – SKEW
A WISECRACK—KOHANIM,
with his HARMONICA—ASKEW,
WHACKS—SEMIMINOR chords.
He’s got his ARSENICISM°—MOHAWK° hair,
and his SHARKSKIN—NEWCOME° jacket.
All was well?
No; he was tired, sad, and
RAINWASH—HOMESICK.
Nice! OA here which I was so convinced wasn’t the OA after trying to find pairs for CARWASH; ARSENIC (I like “ARSENICISM!”); SHARKS…Feels like an odd pairing today!
rainwash – homesick
Got HARMONICS SKEW
and
HAWKISM* MICROECONOMIC
HARMONICS – SKEW
A lot of us were on the same wavelength
Haha me too
MICROMESH – HACKSAWN
