ARGGGGHHHH! I had YEARNFUL early on and didn’t see INTRACTABLY; I could have been done ages ago. So cross with myself!
WTH, how did I not see reluctantly. *Slapping myself with a rubber chicken*
Intractable – eyeful
Intractable — Eyeful, too
Same for me. Had Beatific on my word list. Never saw Culinary though. Took a long time today. Glad I finally got it.

Besties Miss Irim and Kanishk-boy, come and join me here.
Great solution with real words! I got INTRACTABLE EYEFUL, and considered it a stretch…
Nice one, Samuel. Given that I AM intractable, I’m stunned that I didn’t see it!
Thanks, Samuel! 😊
Hey, bestie, well done! After the better part of an hour – because I didn’t see RELUCTANTLY (what even?!) or INTRACTABLY (I stayed stuck on YEARNFUL for AGES) and kept getting stuck on things like BEAUTIFY, which was useless, FILTER, FILTRATE, CUTLERY, etc.
Finally hit CULINARY and saw BEATIFIC straightaway – so cross that I missed the others; I’d have been done almost an hour ago. Ah well, so it goes.
BEATIFIC-CULINARY here, c’mon, Kanishk, hon, hope to see you! (And I am well, if busy).
Good luck, everyone, happy Sunday!

I was interested to discover that Scrabble accepts LYCRA. So, UNBEAUTIFUL-LYCRA. UNBEAUTIFUL-LITERACY works also.
UNBEAUTIFUL LITERACY
Unbeautiful & Literacy
Not so pretty but much better than yesterday’s LB.
Vetch is a new word for me too🙋♀️
Intractable Eyeful
Unbeautiful literacy for a start

Unbefit (OED) treacly . I wonder if Simon posted that one already . Going to look soon
