The answers are:
CLOCKWISEEXTRA
For some reason I missed the short form:
CLOCKWISE – EXTRACTS
Ditto! CLOCKWISE – EXTRICATE/EXACT…I tried COWLIKE but wasn’t accepted….LIKEWISE was my initial starting word….
WAXLIKE* – ESCORT. Reminds me of my prom date.
COWLIKE* – EXTRACTS
Oatmilk, for example.
OA.
WARTLIKE – EXORCISE
Invented. Didn’t take long.
Hey RF!
same for me:
WARTLIKE EXORCISE
I also tried this:
EXACTS SILKWORK*
but LB didn’t like the second word.
👍
This was my answer today as well. Was a little surprised WARTLIKE was accepted, but I’ll take it. Feel a little silly that despite having Clockwork quite early and not being able to pair it I never saw any of the -WISE possibilities. Oh well. A win is a win.

WALKIE EXORCIST
Good one! I got COEXISTS STRAWLIKE. Found WALKIE but missed EXORCIST
another variation: STRAWLIKE-EXORCIST.
…is WALKIETALKIE not one word…..?
I think it is! Which is probably why walkie is disallowed.
My new solution is WALKIETALKIE EXORCIST. Who you gonna call?
🙂
Ghostbusters!
Another STRAWLIKE – EXORCIST here as well. Had to go through a few unaccepted LIKE’s first. WALKIES was accepted though 🙂 You never know what’ll go and what won’t!
When I tried that, it did not accept WALKIE as a word. I settled on CLAWLIKE – EXORCIST instead.
EXORCISTS STRAWLIKE
This was my experience too — tried WALKIE as soon as I found EXORCIST, but it was a no-go. Ended up with WARTLIKE – EXORCIST.
Coaxes strawlike
Mine too
Same…
And my head I’d be a scratchin’
While my thoughts are busy hatchin’
If I only had a brain.
😃
CLAWLIKE-EXORCIST
Same
Nice!
clawlike – exorcist as well
Strawlike – Exorcist
Hey, Mr.RAMANATHAN,
I hope you see this post. My comments were gone on my reply to your post.
You got it! LIFE EXPECTANCY indeed. 👍🤓
☢️🌹
I could see this, I could see the original comment too.
😃
coaxes – strawlike
(was briefly excited but then sad that walkietalkies wasn’t accepted)
Strange that it accepts WALKIES as a word but reject WALKIE! 🥴
Yep!
Especially since “WALKIES” seems to be a slang word while “WALKIE” seems to be a commonly accepted name for a very necessary tool used in warehouses, loading areas, etc.

COEXISTS – STRAWLIKE
WARTLIKE-EXORCIST: Sounds a lot like witchcraft.
exorcists, strawlike
Coxes / strawlike 14/2
Me too. I thought I was set up with STRAWLIKE first, since E is the best lead-in to X. But I couldn’t make that work, so I went nautical.
My answers for yesterdays letter boxed were list/thoroughbred.
Really wanted excoriate to work…
EXORCISES-STRAWLIKE 18/2
STRAWLIKE-EXORCISE for me.
So mad that the plural form of earwax is earwax my blood pressure is rocketlike
😅
CLOCKWISE—EXTRA
CLOCKWISE—EXTRACT(S)
CLOCKWISE—EXECRATE(S)
CLOCKWISE—EXTRICATE(S)
⏲☕
Coxes – Strawlike
COWLIKE*–EXTRACTS
Can’t believe I missed the whole ‘-WISE’ suffix.
I somehow missed -wise too, also Extra; dang, should’ve got this one! Got tons of nice 3w’s: LOWS SEXIEST TRACK, WAXES SLICKEST TOR, CROWS SEXIST TALK, ROCKS SLOWEST TAXI, TAXES SIC CLOCKWORK etc.
OA eventually, after dallying with Clawlike Exorcist and mourning Cowlike. I have noticed before that LB is maddeningly stingy with Like words!
One day I’ll manage in two.
Waxes Strikes Scowl
I think it is! Which is probably why walkie is disallowed.
My new solution is WALKIETALKIE EXORCIST. Who you gonna call?
