I’m on the same boat with Richie…
I found THUNK first after a while. I usually work with longer words first. I don’t know why I paused at THUNK even if it’s only 5 letters. Maybe because it took care of H-U-K. It’s usually hard to find coherence from 7 orphaned letters compared to 3 or 4. I said to myself maybe it’s a -MENT word. Then I tried -CENT. Ooooh, it’s MALEFICENT. And, it didn’t take long. It was so satisfying to get there.
Same. Thunk is a silly word. Shouldn’t be allowed.
Same and wonderfully efficient!

MULTIFILAMENT—
THICK, THICKEN, THICKET, THICKLEAF°, THICKNECK°
Magnificent!!
Too many distracting unacceptable words presenting themselves this morning.
I settled for Funk kilt thematic. I’m imagining all sorts of exciting tartans!
That is a great triple! I’m going to look for its variants.
I also used THEMATIC in a triple: FAT-THEMATIC-CLUNK. Some sort of sound effect, I imagine. Wonder if anyone gets the OA today?
Accidentally clicked on here instead of the actual puzzle. Garbage OA without an apostrophe or a G at the end.
INTHEMEANTIMEANALF*CKME. (Sorry… It does fit though.)
MALEFICENT -THUNK as well!
ANTIHUMANFLECK – my new favorite insult! 😂
Anyone else notice all the opposites?
CLEAN FILTH
THICK THIN
AUTHENTIC FAKE
UNCLE AUNT
CHUNK FLECK
ICE HEAT
TINKLE CLUNK
THIN FAT
MAKE TAKE
Great observation! I never look for opposites but now I just might! 🙂
If this was Boggle, I’d have meself a hi scorin list of words (NOT hifalutin – WTH OA?). Couldn’t make any work for LB though.
Kudos to those who maleficent(ly) thunk up a better solve!
Can anyone do anything with MATHEMATICIAN?
Bending the rules a little we have a relevant triple:
MATHEMATICIAN—NULL—LIFELIKE
The axiom of the empty set.

🙂
Multifilament thick
MULIFILAMENT — THICK/THICKEN
Never saw HIFALUTIN because I had no idea it was spelled that way.
Spent time with ELEMENTAL, CLIMATIC, MATHEMATIC, MATHEMATICIAN, MULTINUCLEATE, FEMININE, AUTHENTIC, UNAUTHENTIC, HEALTHFUL, UNHEALTHFUL, but the remaining letters just did not pair. I do like the days when I can get a dozen nice long words even if they aren’t part of a solve.
FAKE OA!
Settled for FUME, ETHNIC, CLANK
Glad I didn’t spend a lot of time on this one.
Me. too!
MALEFICENT – THUNK
Hifalutin? la-dee-da!
