    1. Me as well, although I toyed with FATHERING for a second. It occurs to me that FARTHING–GLEAMED would be a more efficient solution than the official.

    1. FLAN – NIGHTMARED 14/2 (the dreaded calories’ calculation?). NIGHTMARE is on my list of long words with single-use letters, but turning it into a verb was quite a stretch. My log of unpairables comprises HALF-, FRIEND, DIGHT, RIGHT, THERMAL, FIRMAMENTAL, GRAINED, HANGED, LENGTH, TRIFLE, FIREARMED, EARTHING, FLAMED, FREIGHT, FARTHING, LAMED, FLANGED, and MERIDIAN.

      1. Afright, Figment, Finger(ed), Tandem and Farmhand also seemed promising, until they didn’t. Ditto Mermaid and the surprising Mermaiden. There were a bunch more, but I can’t remember them. I need to start writing these down!

    2. Fatherland Demanding (they do tend to be!) is another excellent answer. I also liked Fathering Gleamed, as in “when he was just a gleam in his father’s eye”… But Flamed Dithering is still my favorite.
      I am very disappointed that the puzzle is back to allowing only one play for us non-subscribers, at least on the iPhone. That was long the case, but recently I was able to play over and over on my phone, except that the Restart button didn’t work. I’ll have to go back to being careful not to complete the puzzle prematurely.

      1. Bernie, you can “clear history and website data” in the iPhone settings (under Safari in my case), and then you can replay as much as you like. It just takes a few extra seconds. 🙂

      2. Wow, Fatherland was the first word I got but couldn’t pair it for a 2 word answer. Later got Fathered-Demanding with L left over, but didn’t make the connection to use Fatherland instead. I also got Fathering-Glam, but later got FREIGHTING-GLEAMED and entered it. Many good words and 3-word solutions

    1. Don’t discount Flamed Dithering, Judy! I think it’s the best answer of the day!
      I went with Elfin Nightmared. Although like others I question the “verbization”, I thought it had a Midsummer Night’s Dream-iness about it.

  1. FLAMED – DITHERING was my first solution, but I toyed for a bit and found GRANDFATHERING – GLAM, which I like much better.

  2. GRANDFATHER—RIFLEMEN
    A remembrance perhaps. Obviously the singular RIFLEMAN is a solution as well. ‘*Father*’ is a nice theme builder today.

  3. I definitely benefited from the weird word acceptance today.

    FLAMER – RIGHTHAND
    Slightly better than official at (15-2)

  4. Official, but it took me a while to let go of GIRLFRIEND. Sadly my best effort on those lines was MEDITATING-GIRLFRIEND-DEATH. That sounds like a story in three words for sure.

  5. A chinquapin using only letters from the puzzle, except for ‘s.

    Elfin
    Flame dithering
    In the night firmament,
    A farthing gleamed in grandfather’s
    Thin hand.
