    1. I ended up with the official solution, even though I was tempted to go GLOBE for thematic integrity purposes (as BERNIE HOROWITZ indicates). I went through BROMATE, along with a bunch of -INGs; BOATING, LEAKING, MAKING, and MARKING (which eventually led to MARKETING), and I was also sidetracked on to anagrams territory (as I love to occasionally do) with BLOATING and OBLIGANT.

      1. Oscar the 1st here. Well will try and change my name it looks like; trying Oscarpdx but awaiting administrative approval. So hopefully soon. Anyway AKIMBO my favorite today but could not find match feel,like such a grom

  1. Too tired to keep looking, so settled for the first thing that came up: the thematically deficient Blanketing Grom. Grom was a new one on me, which is a plus, but it’s hard to imagine ever using it again in either definition. I never have occasion to talk about young surfers, much less forked sticks for carrying bundles of thatch(!).
    The official answer ain’t bad, but begs the question, Glob of what? Marketing Globe might be more satisfying theme-wise, albeit at the cost of an extra E.
    This looks like a promising array. I look forward to seeing folks’ solutions!

    1. Went with Blanketing Glamor. Was hoping Gorm might be accepted, never considered Grom! Always satisfying to learn a new word.

    2. BLANKETING – GROM as well. Grom was a Hail Mary after Gorm wasn’t accepted. Interesting to discover a new word–although I’ll probably never use it again, ever.

    3. BLANKETING–GROM here, too. And yes, ‘GROM’ was a shot in the dark.
      I’m sure there are others (given the availability –ING and –TION), but I must get back to work.

      ‘RELATIONING’ looks promising . . . can anyone pair it for a ‘tag-team’ win?

      1. You could e.g. marry it up with BOILERMAKER, which others have made use of in slightly more efficient ways -and I was unable to detect any brilliant theme behind that pairing, either, so -yeah…

  2. Confident that there must be a 13/2 in this array, I eventually got the official, but via MAKER – REBOLTING,
    BOILERMAKER – RATING, and
    TANKERING – GAMBOL. (Hat’s off to Goblin for the winning solution!)

  3. MARKETING GLOBE – Funny, I had thought of GLOB earlier, but forgot it when I found MARKETING. Had hopes for BLANKETING but GORM was not a word.

  4. BLANKETING-GROM (admittedly, I hit enter, was surprised it took it, and then looked up GROM: a young surfer, snowboarder, wakeboarder…). 👩‍🍼🏄🏼‍♀️🏂

    Happy Monday, LB’s!

  5. Trying to change user name to avoid confusion with second Oscar : got TIEBREAK TIEBREAKER but would not accept TIEBREAKING?!? GLOM.

    1. Wicked, DW! I do, in fact, wonder whether DEADHEAD would be a word by the game’s standards -guess we’ll have to keep our eyes peeled for it. 😉

  6. DEADHEAD is a playable Scrabble word, so I should certainly hope so! But the accepted meaning would not be “a devotee of the Grateful Dead,” I expect, but rather “someone who travels without freight.”

    1. Correcto-mundo! I looked it up in an online dictionary & and there would hardly be any excuse for it not being included:
      noun
      1.DEROGATORY•INFORMAL
      a boring or unenterprising person.
      2.INFORMAL
      a fan of the rock group the Grateful Dead.
      verb
      1.remove dead flower heads from (a plant).
      2.INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN
      (of a commercial driver) complete a trip in a train or other vehicle with no passengers or cargo.
      But you can never be sure with this word list, can you?

      1. I should add that probably the most common use of DEADHEAD these days is in the airline industry, where it refers to employees (mostly pilots) hitching a free ride for repositioning purposes.
