OA. I know it would be.
Same, OA in less than 30.
Also worked with… lungfish which I bet someone pairs. Aside from that didn’t see much else but girlish.
WRONGFUL turned out to be a dead end. Tried for words with the -FUL suffix for a while.
Same. I was stuck on wrongful for a while; eventually found the oa.

Wow! You got it! Ugly duckling, indeed!

OA, but hoping for a pardner for WRONGFUL
Exactly the same for me.
Me three. OA seemed so obvious after I wrung it out….
Right?!! I had WRUNG and GOLDRUSH and FLUSH and LONGHORNS! Settled for WILFUL+LONGHORNS+SHOD (in 3) 🥴 which is what one needs for a gold rush
WRUNG / GOLDFISH and ditto

UOP

Came close. Thought goldfish was part of it, but didn’t see wrung.
Settled for a 3-worder in wrong goldfish hug.
Had to cut bait on this one.
WRONGFUL – LUNGFISH – HOLD
No way to store a catch.
Or jail cell for marine offenders.
Went through many of the same machinations as others (LONGHORNS, DOGFISH, WRONGFUL) until I found GOLDFISH and the OA. Methinks this might be a solo answer today – Mark, what say you?
Hi Susan, I think you’re right, it’s definitely an SSS (suspected singular solution).
It turns out that UNWRUNG is a PSW, but LB disapproves of it.
I actually had UNWRUNG—GOLDFISH, but did not see the answer right before my eyes!
Played around with Whirligig for a while, then WRONGFUL LORDS SIGH but finally saw a glint of gold and got the OA.
Whirligig indeed! A very fun word but a dead end. Got the OA ultimately. Another one-off, I’m confident.
Got hung up on WHIRLIGIG as well, and many ~FUL words. Tried GODFUL (not a word 😝), which made me spot GOLD, then remembered all the ~FISH words I tried too. OA was a short hop away after that.
Funny, I tried Godful too. Odd that it’s not accepted.
OA after struggling with WRONGFUL and LUNGFISH.
OA for me. Not many long words in this one, so knew it would be a compound. Didn’t take too long to finally stumble upon the correct combo.
It took quite a while until I started looking underwater. I finally got WRUNG-GOLDFISH
I spent too long on foghorns
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 – 13 wrung / goldfish
2 – 15 unwrung* / goldfish
OA. Poor goldfish.
wrung – goldfish
OA. But after messing with UNSUNG and UNFURL and WHIRLIGIG for quite some time.
Well, I spent way too much time on this thing and ended up in an entirely different bowl than the OA.
I saw the sequence FLUSHWRONG and I wanted to get FLUSHWRONGSOLID (1/15) but the left side was against it.
FLUSHWRONGID (1/12) or
I’DFLUSHWRONG (1/12.5?) would’ve been even better, but they had the same problem.
The closest I could get was
SOILOFLUSHWRONG with the D still out there floating by itself.
Of course LB wouldn’t have accepted any of those, but I couldn’t get close enough to Submit to ask it.
