The answers are:
FLAMBEENTROPY
FLAMBE – ENTROPY in under five minutes. Was disappointed MONEYPLANT (it’s really common hear in India) wasn’t accepted – even though it’s written as two separate words. Another one was BAYFRONT (seriously, Sam? It IS a word!)
Anyhow, quick OA here. Looking forward towards Irim and RF’s insights. Happy Sunday to all!
Had BAYFRONT TEMPLE here… I would think it’s more common than FLAMBE, and probably ENTROPY too. Where’s the rest of the Gleesome Threesome?
Spotted the OA immediately after setting it aside for today’s Sunday mass.
Waiting for Miss Irim’s contribution later…
Very fast OA here. Back in the win column after yesterday’s disappointment. 100/109, 16/19, 0, 36
Hi, Samuel, that’s not a solution, given that I found that very early and it told me that BAYFRONT was not in the word list.
As noted yesterday, I was away for the weekend, got home this afternoon, and after TEMPORAL, FRONTOTEMPORAL, BARFLY, etc etc., finally hit on FLAMBE-ENTROPY after a full episode of ‘The Six Million Dollar Man’.
Well done, Kanishk and RF! Happy Sunday, everyone!
I tend to not spend as much on it as a lot of others these days. If I find a solution that doesn’t make the sometimes baffling LB list, but it shows up as valid on other word-check sites for word games, I count it as a solve and bail early unless I think I’m close to another quick solution.
That makes a lot of sense! Great find, I yelled with frustration when it wasn’t usable.
TEMPLAR was also rejected, which (along with TEMPLE) pairs with BAYFRONT for a reasonable solve.
Wasn’t too hard to come up with the OA, though.
FRONTOTEMPORAL LAYBY
It didn’t accept FRONTOTEMPORAL
I got it after messing around with ENTRAPMENT

VIADUCT TURNPIKE
VIADUCT – TURNPIKE.
Good job, RF!! 🥳
Well done, MSC!! OA it is!!
Good job!
VIADUCT – TURNPIKE
FORBEAR RAMPANTLY
Same
FORBEAR-RAMPANTLY here too, after a while with NONEMPTY, TEMPORARY, and EMBRYONAL.
PANTOFLE EMBRYO. Baby shoe…
PLANFORM – MONEYBELT*. The latter is both playable in Scrabble and in the OED. I remain mystified by Sam’s word list.
PANFORTE EMBRYONAL
One day it’ll grow up to be an italian dessert
Got EMBRYONAL early, didn’t spot PANFORTE – well done!
FLAMBE—ENTROPY
PANTOFLE—EMBRYO

PANFORTE EMBRYONAL too. I would have gotten the OA I suspect if had tried harder.
Wanted FLAMBOYANT at first but didn’t work with the grid. I did find an arcane shipbuilding term:
FLAMBEMENT* TOPOMETRY
*from the French for buckling.
“Transactions of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects, 1911.”
OA
OA. spent a lot of time with paranormal. Couldn’t believe that wasn’t right. At least I couldn’t make it work.
Not enough time yesterday, flambé entropy this morning
