FLOWERRIVERBANK
OA with springtime TI to spare.
Also, where all the clever otters keep their clams.
Ooooh, I never knew I am in the riverbank.
Same here, OA in about 30 minutes after struggling to find compound words with ( flower, view, and anything ending in “-able” 😂
Also toiled with… overview, reviewable, renewable, welfare, wrinkle, rainbow, breakable, enabler, rearview
I found wrinkleable but it wouldn’t take it!
OA. Lovely TI.
And works either way you pronounce ’flower’.

Hi, PG,
Eleventh hour, indeed! Bravo! 👍🤓

PG,
Almost the OA! And, shorter. Bravo!
👍🤓

FRIGHTENED – DEBATABLE
Though all the heavy lifting was done by PG.
Hi, THIS,
That is the OA! You found it! Brilliant!
🤗😁
FRIGHTENED – DEBATABLE
☢️🌹
Not looking for the OA, but I found:
flab / brightened
Hey, Mr.DAREDAVEL,
Nice unique find! Good job! 👍🤓
☢️🌹
OA.
FLOWER -RIVERBANK(S)
Oooops! There is no “s” in today’s array. But FLOWERER, FLOWERIER and FOWLER all work with RIVERSIDE.
I tried far too hard on this one, got FLOWERIER, then ran with REVOKABLE (ENVIABLE for the N) !
I got stuck on revokable for a long while before I actually found a 2 word solve! 😆
Same situation: obsessing too long over REVOKABLE before smilingly finding the OA 🌷
Okay, I just HAD to use werewolf so WEREWOLF-FAR-RIVERBANK
Another ooops… that should be riverbank instead of riverside. Dratted auto “corrector”!!
FOWLER – RIVERBANK. I never miss an opportunity to invoke birds!
Same solution!
OA. Such a lovely combo.
FLOWER – RIVERBANK
Quick and easy.
Same, quick and easy
FLOWER—RIVERBANK
FAWNIER*—REVOKABLE
☕
Hey, Markiesce,
I saw FAWNIER* – REVOKABLE too.
👍☢️🌹. The Scrabble word set is so much larger. I just realized OVERFLOWER works too, on the OA; maybe a bit more TI.
Trying to find larger words to get things going, my first solution was OVERFLOWER–RIVERBANK (which I like even more than the OA, regardless of inefficiency).
Good one KP. I missed the conjunctive form initially, then later noticed it.
That was my solution as well. A bit of a Rube Goldberg way to solve, but I started with OVERFLOW and when I couldn’t solve, I decided to add more letters to it to get to OVERFLOWER. And I agree that this produces and even better TI.
OA after a bit. First came up with mean character assessment Overblown – Naif- Fink.
Infowar-revokable
This is a terrific answer, Cliff! Would it were doable!
I had the OA, Flower Riverbank, evoking Lucy in the Sky, and the alternate Fowler Riverbank, site of the Shooting Party.
Oh my god. I got so close to the OA so many times but I didn’t try RIVER for some reason. I’m sure I thought about it but then got distracted.
Among other words, I found:
REVOKABLE, WRINKLIER, BLINKER, REAWOKE, BANKABLE, LINKABLE, ENVIABLE, FIRABLE, BREAKABLE, WARBLER, BIOWAR, REVIEWABLE, RENEWABLE, OVENBAKE, OVERBAKE, OVERBOWL, OVERFLOWN, OVERBLOWN, OVERFLOW, OVERFLOWER and OVERBANK,
Ended up, disappointingly, with OVERBLOWN NAKER REIF. The latter two were guesses.
Definitely had a few of those but thankfully had stubled upon River by the time I found Bankable and the neurons fired and I got to RIVERBANK. A short detour at Wolfier not withstanding, FLOWER showed up and I had the OA.
We’re similar. I end up collecting good words until I see something or focus on a word I’m convinced has a pair. Nice collection of words
That’s me. Just couldn’t see it today.
flower – riverbank
Got the longer FLOWERIER – RIVERBANK before I found the OA
OA after dancing around it FOREVER. I stared at FLOWER forever, along with OVERFLOW, OVERBLOWN, a million ~ABLE words including BANKABLE, and I stumbled on RIVER about 30 minutes before thinking to put them together for RIVERBANK. Today was one of those rare days where I stare at it forever and still manage to find a solution right before giving up — as opposed to the bitter days where I finally give up only to find an obscure single solution here on the forums. Phew! 😅
Here is the full list including Scrabble words:
** Don’t look at the list if you haven’t finished solving the puzzle **
(The first number is a count and the second number is the number of letters used)
1 – 15 flower / riverbank
2 – 17 flowerer / riverbank
3 – 18 flowerier / riverbank
4 – 15 fowler / riverbank
5 – 16 infowar / revokable
6 – 17 infowar / revokeable
7 – 16 aflower / riverbank
8 – 19 overflower / riverbank
9 – 17 enflower* / riverbank
10 – 16 fawnier* / revokable
My contribution is:
OVERFLOWABLELINK
1/16
LB says it’s not a word
and I say “Prove it!”
I must admit, now, the OA is pretty obvious .
