Occasionally I need to test my program in real time. This forum seems to be the right scratchpad for that test. I’ll check my solutions as usual moving forward. Thanks 🙂
Can’t believe it accepted “Sherwani”…. that’s Hindi! Even the Beatles couldn’t mainstream that one!
I believe Stephen Foster beat them to it in De Old Folks at Home.
I think they’ve added a lot more words. I’m not sure that one would have been accepted a couple years ago.
It definitely like there were many possibilities today – that’s quite the list Mark!!
Thanks, Nicole. I was lazy though and didn’t check them.

OA Today!
OA here as well. PECKISH was the first thing I saw. But couldn’t find unwrap off the bar. Wrote down 85 more words before I got to UNWRAP to wrap up the puzzle.
WHISKS-SPRAUNCIER
Ha! That’s the only one I did not get. Good catch.
UNSCREWS – SPARKISH
Free-spirited.
Wanted to complete SCREWUP(S) but it got me where I needed to go.
unwrap – peckish
unscrews-sparkish
UNSCREWS — SPARKISH
Spent time with PUNISHES/PUNISHER, WEAKISH, and PUCKISH.
I can’t believe that LB won’t accept SHIKSA.
WASHUP – PANICKIER*.
WHISKIES-SPRAUNCIER
an inefficient solve.
Unscrews Sparkish
Unscrews and sparkish.
Same
OA. Figured there aren’t going to be many other solutions out there today that use real words.
OA. Disappointed that UNISPHERE(S) was not accepted.
Today was the first time I could not access Letter Boxed online without subscribing. So I had to make do with just the letters, no grid.
Ended up with UNWRAPS SHICKSE*
*variant of Shiksa etc.
Sad and mad, not glad, about getting barred at the door today.
Contemptible greedheads now requiring subscription.
Same here. Pay to play. Adios letter boxed.
UNSCREWS – SPARKISH
A light bulb went off.
As of today LB is no longer available (at least to me) without a NYT subscription, so I guess I’m not playing it anymore! Same with the Mini Crossword. Too bad, since LB was the most challenging puzzle game I played.
