Just when I think I was being clever, I see that you have already found my words. BIOTOPES-SQUELCH
BIOCHIPS-SQUELCHIEST
Same , pretty quickly
BIOTOPES SQUELCH
BIOTOPES – SQUELCH
The Marsh of the Wooden Soldiers
BISQUES-SPLOTCHES
PLOTCHES-SQUIB
Same. But is PLOTCHES even a word? It was accepted, though.
Same as well. Never heard of the word but our AI overlords say:
“Plotch” is not a widely recognized word in standard English, but it appears to be a dialectal term, primarily used in Scottish, meaning a “large spot, patch, or messy area,” often associated with something wet or muddy; essentially, a “splash” or “splatter”.
Origin: Likely derived from the Scottish word “platch,” which carries a similar meaning.
Usage: Considered a regional term, not commonly used in everyday English.
Example sentence: “He stepped in a big plotch of mud on the sidewalk.”
My solve as well. I started out with BLOTCHES but couldn’t make SQUIP work as the second word. So I thought: “What if I just swap the B and the P?” And PLOTCHES was accepted. For the life if me I can’t figure out why I didn’t just move to SPLOTCHES but the mind is impossible to figure out.
Splotches Squib… dud.
Same here
Made hard work of this! Eventually got to Biopsies – Squelchiest
BISHOPS – SQUELCHIEST
BISQUES — SPLOTCH/ES
SPLOTCHES — SQUIB
Squibs and splotches here.
OA and splotches squib and squibs splotches
PLOTCHES SQUIB here too.
Also found CHOPLETS* SQUIB — Choplet is apparently a word but not in Scrabble etc.
Found a fun 3-er:
BLECH HOSPICES SQUIT
SQUIBS – SPLOTCHIEST
Unnecessary repetition of letters… but it works
Same here, found SPLOTCHIEST first and SQUIBS was a gimme.
Another SPLOTCHES SQUIB, quickly… First I got two 4w with fun TI: (She Equips Stoic Club/s), then two 3w’s with BISQUE/S, Bisque Etches Slop, and Bisques Stitches Slop… for whatever reason, I next found SPOLTCHES with SQUIB left over. Squib was my first word too, I first sought Q words, Quip, Equip, Quit/e, etc… then words with -que especially as an ending, which led to Bisque/s .
oops typo above, I meant SPLOTCHES of course, not SPOLTCHES, ha
*COPIHUES-SQUIBLET*
*COPIHUES good in Merriam-Webster, Collins, Scrabble US (TWL), Wiktionary but not LB
*SQUIBLET good in OED, Wiktionary but not LB
OA.
Finally, as I was just about to give up.
It’s been a dry week for me, so I feel redeemed.
Chipotles – Squib
Splotches Squib
