BACKLITTEMPURA
PACKET-TUMBRIL, after trying to will PACEMAKER to give me REBUILT, which, sadly, didn’t work! Looks like there should be a load of solutions today. (Also tried CALIBRATE and BRATPACK).
A tumbril is a cart that would tip back to empty its load, well known for taking people to the guillotine. Love the efficiency of this solution.
Waiting on Kanishk & RF – rock on, besties! – and good luck to all, congrats to solvers and commiserations to those who don’t. Happy Hump Day!
Good job, Irim! A 13/2 solve – well done! A very efficient solve compared to mine – PACKET worked today when it didn’t yesterday!
BACKLIT – TEMPERATURE here in 2 minutes – had no idea about TEMPURA. I also got TUBELIKE – EMPLACE with the R hanging out.
Waiting for RF – good luck to everyone and happy Hump Day!
Backlit temperature here as well. Less than a minute I think, lucky punch today.
Glad that my besties are already here with a solve. I solved it quickly today 1 hour ago as of this posting but I had to run an errand to the market.
My solution:
BACKLIT – TEMPERATURE, same with my bestie Kanishk-boy.
Funny saw Backlit but couldn’t finish it. Was hampered by the bright sun on my commute. Ended up with BACKBITER-RUMPLE. Which still took longer than it should’ve because I didn’t make the leap from Backbite to Backbiter for a good while. (Once I was safely indoors!) 91/98, 7/8, 3, 36
BACKLIT TRUMPET also works
My first solution was BACKBITER RUMPLE
Same

INFOBAHN-NETWORK
Congrats, Irim!! You got the correct answer!! 👏
INFOBAHN – NETWORK
Yay! Back to work and then later, lunchtime driving myself crazy with Devanagari (it is making more sense).
Glad to know that, Irim – let me know if anything’s confusing you.
BITMAP PLUCKIER
Same. Manual image compression
Oops BITMAP-PLUCKER

Can whoever looks after this site remember that we are now in British Summer time and put the clock forward an hour please!
It’s been an hour earlier for me since the holy week. It refreshes at 3:00 PM now (from 4 PM before) Philippine time.
Good to know, my lovely: it refreshes at 8am our time or just before, but the timestamps on people’s posts are on GMT, not BST, (so read an hour earlier) and it’s driving me crazy, LOL!
Ingat ka lagi!
Maraming salamat po, Miss Irim. 😉
THANK YOU! That has been driving me nuts for 10 days!
I’d assumed it got its time from my computer clock, so I kept checking it.
Parbuckle – Emptier
Backlit trumpet …
Hey! That is NOT how you play that!
Backlit — Trumpet. More efficient than the OA. Just saying.
Same here, in a minute or two, surprised it’s not showing up more.
I got it too …
Same.
REPLUMB – BACKLIT
Tackier Replumb
TACKIER-REPLUMB
Too!
Backbiter rumple
Yep. Me too. Astonished how quickly that solution arrived. Believe me, I’ve had Letter Boxes that consumed *hours* of my time. (And not always with a two-word result.) This one couldn’t have taken more than 5 minutes.

Today’s puzzle was more difficult than yesterday’s. But with a little perseverance, I was able to find two words. 🍁

Backlit tempura
I ended up with PARAMETRIUM – MULEBACK, which isn’t very efficient, but it’s what I came up with after seeing trying MULEBACK

Kumara is a sweet potato.
A few more non-lb pairings:

Good job Simon! My fave college team has a 100 mph lefty who reminds me of a trebuchet
Placket tumbril
BACKLIT-TRUMPET
Tried so long with PERAMBULATE since I thought finding a word out of EICK or ICKP would be easy. It wasn’t.
CRACKUP – PLUMBITE
was my final solution
BITMAP – PARBUCKLE
I noticed BILKER RACKET TRUMP.
