Same!
Same – immediately. Which tells you where my head is most times! 😀
Got Bracket-Trustify
I also thought I had it with Breakfast, but failed bc I didn’t add the S. When I finally let go, I found the OA. Such a workout sometimes!
Same. 🙂
Fruitcakes-sybarite
Buckets scarify
Me too
Buckets scarify too
Same here!
Me too.
While solving I like to come up with words-that-should-be. Today I found FAIRYBUCKETS that not only used all letters but invoked, at least to me, a happy little image.
Wonderful, Molly!
Me too.
Same! A lovely combination of words!
Haha!
Fruitcakes Sybarite also
I was trying to make one with fruitcakes!
F Fing-fing-ding! Great answer from Patrice!
I got Buckets Scarify – from when I tripped over a stack of them in Lowes. Also Fubsier Rackety – back to Saturday’s noisy, unpopular frathouse; now it’s even grosser.
What’s with all those Fs in my message? Swear to God, this site edits my text as I post it. “Ding -ding-ding”, of course.
BREAKFASTS – SECURITY also.
Backfires Security – an extremely limited warranty.
I got Backfists Surety
Same: BACKFISTS. SURETY
Same here, too
Breakfasts — Security, that is
Backfires Surety
In light of Sunday’s brouhaha…. I wish it had taken “Fuckery” 🤣
backfires – surety as well
I tried that, too. 🤣
Got BREAKFAST(S), did not see SECURITY! Came up with BUYBACK – KITESURF* (to kitesurf is to surf or foil with kites – yet another valid term not recognized by LB!)
Same. Took me a while to add the “S” to the first word but once I did, my success was SECURE.
BREAKFASTS / SECURITY too.
BACKFIRES – SUETY
Me too
What does suety mean though
Same
Breakfasts Security-lots of eggs in the fridge
BREAKFASTS SECURITY
I got it right away.
JOURNALIST TOXIC
Ditto
BARFY—YUCKIEST (13/2)
BUCKETS—SCARIFY
BACKFIRES—SURETY
BACKFIRES—SECURITY (OA)
I miss Richie, and DaveL, where are you guys?
I got knocked down, but not knocked out.

When I first started getting on here, I thought Davel worked for the puzzle’s creators, since he would always post an exhaustive list of solves at the end of the day. I would always check to see if he included mine (and I believe all but once he did!)
He had a pretty cool setup, different from mine. He pulled the words from the HTML on the NYT site, and then matched them up for 2-word solutions. Later he managed to include Scrabble non-LB words. When I started to lean on the OED resource, he had asked me for that list, but I did not have it. I’m looking into APIs to see if I can get on top of that. Right now it’s just one word at a time for me. Great fun when one finds an OED word that was LB-rejected! It’s kind of like beating the game.
😊👍
Haha. When I first got on the site, and Davel would post 100’s of solutions some days , I thought he was some kind of savant. Later I pictured him as AI, lastly as a smart regular person who just tired of posting so many solves
Once I realized that the OA and “valid LB” words were hard-coded, it made sense that there were discrepancies between “just the OED” and what LB accepted. It also accounts for the speed (I.e. no API to access). I would like to know the upstream process that goes into populating the HTML with any given day’s word list, but I doubt that they will ever give that up.
WTF has happened to Ritchie?
I hope he’s ok!
+ BACKFIST(S)
+ BRACKET(S)
Good ones Nicole!
☕☕
I too found some compound words using fist that LB doesn’t accept. Go figure…
BACKFIRES-SURETY. Trump’s tariffs?
Backfires suety. Sounds messy!

Nice!
BACKFIRES – SURETY
BACKFIRES – SECURITY
Co-signer’s lament.

Ozempic withdrawal.

Sad state of affairs 🙁
Backfists and surety.
BACKFISTS – SURETY for me too — almost thought I had an original solve. 😜
Bracket-Trustify.
Another BREAKFASTS – SECURITY.
FIRETRUCK – KABAYAS*. I bet they sell such things in Kuala Lumpur.

Breakfasts security
BACKFISTS – SURETY
I’ve been lurking here for a year – this is the first time I ever got an original!
Same here! Although I had the ‘Breakfasts/Security’ solution, it was the first time I solved in two. Big sense of accomplishment for me 🙂
The racy elephant in the room: F*CKERIES-SYBARITE
fantastic
OA today!
Bracket Trustify
BACKBITES SURFACEY
And
KAYAKER RECTIFIES SUB
Barfy Yuckiest (without any assistance)
First time no one else had it!
Went with the slightly more efficient BACKFIRES-SURETY
Likewise
I got barfy and yuckiest, which I think is a pretty funny combination.
BACKFIRES-SURETY, and FRUITCAKES-SYBARITE
BACKFIRES-SURETY
Didn’t get a solution, only two unappetising solves that didn’t join up.
Fruity crabcakes and freaky biscuits.
Ha! Sounds like a good party to hear about after the fact.
BACKBITES-SURFY
After I found BREAKFAST-SECURITY
Sorry, *BREAKFASTS-SECURITY
No luck on this one. I looked at lots of possibilities and was excited when I found BREAKFAST, but could not find a pair for it. I should have thought of SECURITY, so that was dumb.
