nice array today ☕☕
Some other words I could not pair, but maybe having potential:
PALAEOSLOPE, WEREWOLF, LOWERCASE, POLYCLONAL
I was surprised SNOWPEAS is not a word. 🙂
Yes, SNOWFACE also, I had tried. A fairly common term in mountain climbing and skiing.
Also the OA+
Flyers – Snowcap(s)
I was working with Snowplow and -place prior
Good one Bruce. SNOWPLOW was accepted but apparently unpairable.
SNOWCAP-PALFREY here after about 15 minutes, after being stymied by not being able to use wonderful words like CONEFLOWERS, SYNCOPAL, FENCEROWS, LYCOPENES, COWFLAPS, FALCONRY.
Can’t wait to see my besties, Kanishk & RF, to see their solutions – and everyone else’s. Wonder if SNOWCAP is integral.
Good luck, everyone, happy Monday!
SNOWCAP is not integral, it turns out.
Oooh, NARCOLEPSY was the first word I found, was really cross not to be able to use that either.
OA but it took from morning until evening with intermittent hunting through the day. Some hockey related stuff in there with FLYERS and POWERPLAY. Some other stuff like Polyclonal, Weaponry, and Pancreas that I couldn’t pair. 101/110, 17/20, 2, 36
OA for me. Well done for an alternate solution Miss Irim. 👍
Waiting for Kanishk-boy later…
I noticed that comments are getting fewer and fewer. Before, it will reach over a hundred comments.
Really bummed about missing the elegant OA; FLYERS – SNOWSCAPE here in around 40 minutes, and what a frustrating grid today was – so many good words that led me nowhere. I finally heaved a sigh of relief when I noticed SNOW.
I played with the same words as you, Irim, and was also frustrated that EN made PREFERENCES impossible. Impressive word list you have there! Same goes for Mark; I tried pairing LOWERCASE for REALLY long to absolutely no avail. ALIOW.
I have noticed that too, RF – there was also a significant decrease around August last year, when they paywalled the game.
Well done, RF and Irim, good job to both! Glad we all made it. Happy Monday to all.
Yay!!!!
OA
Hurrah! Congratulations, triumvirate. Yes, I’ve noticed the lack of comments too, RF. It’s part of why I wanted folks to put up their threes…but I also remember that R used to post A LOT with his solutions, and since he’s left, it has meant fewer posts.

Thanks for posting these extra puzzles 🙂
FLYERS SNOWSCAPE . I found Snowscape first and didn’t see the more efficient snowcap.
Snowcap – Palfrey
FLAPERONS SCREWY
And
PANCREAS SNOWFLYER*
*skiing term
“Ski Jumping in Washington State, A Nordic Tradition, 2021” (it’s also an early type of snowmobile.)
SNOWCAP PALFREY here too, somehow didn’t see FLYERS, but got it pretty quick anyway.
Flayers Snowcap
Flyers snowscape
