Can’t believe I toyed around with both NIGHTCAPS and SOUTHPAW, but didn’t spend much time on this one and missed the connection. Looked at a word-check site to see if I was missing anything obvious, which led me to CHINWAGS SPOUT, before I checked here and saw the OA, which made me doubt my mental faculties. I’m taking the win with an asterisk…
Hon, I just did the hard pips for almost *30 minutes* having found the right combination almost at the beginning…only to realise all I had to do was flip one domino to get it right. Not just you!
Gotta be that new moon eclipse.
Catgut – Township …
Intestinal fortitude.
Found township but couldn’t link it. Good one!
Unown nightcap
Unown looked very wrong when I wrote it.
GUNSHIPS – SNOWCAT
A Pow Plow!
As for NIGHTCAPS SOUTHPAW… Whatever drinks are left, I’ll have them before I go to bed. (Get it?)
Maybe I should have added something about the whole pitcher…
I’ll join yah… Better than the Kool-Aid on the right.
