I got STRAIGHTFORWARD-DIB(S), but truly, solutions like today are what I live for when it comes to Letter Boxed – an elegant answer brutally but beautifully crisscrossing the box. I look forward for the day when a one answer solution comes up again (last one was last year methinks).
Same! I hope so too!
Ditto! To everything you said.
STRAIGHTFORWARD – DOB. Less than a minute – I found FORWARDS, saw STRAIGHT as using most of the rest of the letters, then realised I could combine them and just leave the B.
STRAIGHTFORWARD DOB
FIGHTS-STRAWBOARD. No theme, not economical, but done.
Same. Strawboard was a stab in the dark, I had to look it up.
FORBIDS – SIGHTSAW 15/2 via FORWARDS, WARTHOG (an addition to the animal kingdom list), BIGHT, FIGHT, DIGHT, etc.
LBF score 12 (7 letters rightly guessed). Trying
NFH AOD GLI SPU
next.
Yep, got HOG and WARTHOG.
Wordlist: ARTIST BRAGS BRAW BRASH DRAFTS DISTORTS FIGHTS FROGS HOGWASH SHARDS SHAW TIDBITS WARTHOGS WITHDRAW
But didn’t get a solution :’)
Got STRAIGHTFORWARD pretty much right off the bat, and from ABS/BAS/BIS – and – DAB/DIB/DOB, picked ABS for the official!
Way to save me writing time, Tim. Damn that B, though…
Yes, any number of short words with a B coupled with STRAIGHTFORWARD
Official, after starting with WASHBOARDS-STRAIGHTFORWARD which was anything but…
FORBIDS – SIGHTSAW here. Took a while.
Not much in the way of birdlife today: DODO, TIT, GODWIT.
+ IBIS
Saw STRAIGHTFORWARD immediately, then STRAIGHTFORWARD-DIBS and BIDS-STRAIGHTFORWARD. Wish I’d seen ABS to shave off a letter. 🙂

This one was straightforward then I dobbed it.
fights – strawboard
Can’t believe I never saw STRAIGHTFORWARD but I did see FORWARD. After failing with WARTHOG/WARTHOGS I ended up with WASHBAG GIFT TROD which at least is a quite efficient 15/3, but I’m extremely disappointed I didn’t get STRAIGHTFORWARD.
Fistfights-strawboard
Straightforward dib
It was anything but…
It was Straightforward Dob for me – super quick
Funny, I worked with STRAIGHT and FORWARDS, but didn’t think to combine them.
Ended up with FORTHWITH–HARDBAGS. While LB accepts HARDBAG, it did not accept the plural. Scrabble doesn’t even accept the singular. But no matter, I’ve made my peace. I know that HARDBAGS is a word, and I’m calling this one a win!
(Less surprisingly, HOGWARTS was not accepted.)
It’s all HOGWASH!
FORWARDS- SIGHTS- STOB
