FLAMETHROWERRUB
OA in less than a minute.
Haha. Same here. Had fun instead of angst going around the box!
Yep, and as it turns out, arson can leave blisters.
Fleawort Thumb…. something like a green finger, I guess.
FLEAWORT-TUMBLEHOME
Slightly less efficient: flamethrower ruble
WATERFOWLER-RHUMB
Same.
Congrats to those who got Waterfowler/rhumb. Got waterfowl and -er pretty quickly but gave up after I couldn’t dance home with Rhumba and eventually found OA.
Same. Fell on RHUMB purely by accident trying out variations of RUMBHA/RHUMB(A) (In navigation, a rhumb line, rhumb (/rʌm/), or loxodrome is an arc crossing all meridians of longitude at the same angle).
Got hung up on WEATHER, TUBEWORM, looking for words with HALF in them, LEAFWORM*, BLAMEWORTH(missing Y), words with FATHER, and variations of T/R/HUMBLE(R)…took way too long to find a 2-word solution given how many there are!!
FLAMETHROWER — RUB/RUBE/REBUT/RHUMB/RUBLE/RUMBO/RUMBLE…..
Saw THERMOMETER, WEATHER, OUTHALF, FLAME, and then FLAMETHROWER.
I got waterfowl quickly, but couldn’t match it up properly
OA.
I typically do worse with compound words. But, for some reason, I found FLAMETHROWER in a couple of minutes, which all but solved the puzzle.
flamethrower – rub
Flamethrower — Rub after a not very successful week
The WATERFOWLER—RUBE, and the FLAMETHROWER—RHUMB.
Who was the RUMOURER, and who was the REMEMBERER?
They used the TELETHERMOMETER to FORMULATE
the TUMBLEHOME of their AEROBOAT.
THEREAFTER, they’d be known as the WATERFOWLER—REHUMBLE,
and the FLAMETHROWER—RETUMBLE.
The End.
No epilogue, to describe the AFTERMATH?
Yes, you’re right KP, there should be an AFTERMATH, especially since I missed an H on the first character. 🙂
OA almost instantaneously. Fastest ever for me.
Oa
