from Wikipedia:
“Stigmaria is a form taxon for common fossils found in Carboniferous rocks. They represent the underground rooting structures of arborescent lycophytes such as Sigillaria and Lepidodendron under the order Lepidodendrales.”
Stigmaria shows up in the OED and apparently is taken with same spelling as a Latin word
😎🐝🇺🇸
Gave up after I couldn’t connect IMAGEMAKERS and it wouldn’t accept SNAKECHARMERS.
Gamechangers Stick… hey, we should try hitting the ball with a bat; this really hurts my hand.
Estrangements Schtick… come back! I was just joking! “You can’t go! All the plants are gonna die!”
Mangers Shtick… apparently there’s a lot of stuff out there just throwing jokes around all willy-nilly.
REGIMENTS – SHACK (this one seems so simple, I was surprised not to find it here yet when I logged on).
KERAMICS* – STRENGTH (or STRENGTHS, if you are keen on the longest word in the English language that has only one vowel).
Scrabble US (TWL) has TSKTSKING, which is also nine letters.
Regiments Shack
Straightman Neck
HACKIE – ESTRANGEMENTS
KICKERS — STRAIGHTMEN — NECK
I found STRAIGHT and then tried STRAIGHTMEN only leaving the C and K.
LB doesn’t like SHAKESHACK but I do! 🙂
Straightmen – Neck does it without needing Kickers. Although you can keep them if you want, of course. . .
I connected the pairs through STRAIGHTMEN.
KICKERS — STRAIGHTMEN
STRAIGHTMEN — NECK
I see. Thought you were going for a three word😊 More coffee, please!
HANGTIMES-SICKER
TRICKISH-HANGMEN – not what you want if you’re on the noose end of the deal
managers-schtick
Nice Yiddish solve!
Gamechangers skit/stick/sticker/stricken actually started with stricken but the attempt to pair leftovers was game changer quick today
OA quickly today.
Same here… OA in about 10 minutes. I also think there’s a match with Stricken and Mightiest
Same, after I gave up on trying to end/start with an S
GAMECHANGERS STICK
No one else got MANGERS-SHTICK? 13…
ICEMAKERS STRENGTH
Same
Getting so near the end of the scroll, I thought I’d be the only one. Still, almost.
I know how you feel. The popup ads don’t make it any easier.
Got to quit. Maybe someone can do something with imagemakers
Same here. Spotted MAKERS right away, but took me awhile to figure out a first half that would work in 2.
Germans * shtick lb will take German but not Germans??

REGIMENTS SHACK
CHANTIES SIGNMAKER* (shows up in a lot of 19thC books.)
Changemaker accepted ln MW, hyphenated in OED, not accepted by LB. Uses all letters but I and t . A studied of changemakers would be a changemakerist which would be a one word solve
CHARTMAKERS* SIGN works. or GENERIC CHARTMAKERS. But while there are dozens of examples of “Chartmaker” in various works on Google Books (including “The Compleat Plattmaker” published by Univ of California Books in 2023), it does not seem to show up in any contemporary dictionaries. I wish I still had my multi-volume OED. lol
