UNEMPLOYEDDECRYPT
Uncompleted dry
Yep , here too
Same
Same. Off the wagon in late January.
Unmolded Decrypt
uncompleted dry is the easiest answer
Same here with finding Uncompleted – Dry. I did find Unemployed first but didn’t see Decrypt. It’s nice when there is more than one solution.
same
TROUNCE – EMPLOYED
Another
UNCOMPLETED DRY
I concur in spades …
uncompleted – dry as well
UNCOMPLETED DRY
UNCOMPLETED – DORY
Vague assemblance.
another UNCOMPLETED- DORY
back to the shipyard
UNCOMPLETED-DOURLY
POLYELECTROLYTE-EUDEMON
Close but no cigar, ON on same side
OCTUPLED-DRYMEN*
*DRYMEN good in Merriam-Webster
Trounce Employed
This was my answer as well. I couldn’t finish unemployed. Still, pretty quick.
Same here
Same (TROUNCE – EMPLOYED). Totally missed the UNEMPLOYED, although had DECRYPT(ED)/ENCRYPTED from the outset to no avail! Also tried TURNROUND, POUNCE(D), CLOUD, CRYPTO, TEMPT
Same, TROUNCE-EMPLOYED which is more efficient than the OA. But this really annoyed me — maybe just cause Monday.
Same after trying with unemployed for awhile.
Trounce Employed- Musk is at it again
* CORNUTE-EMPLOYED
*CORNUTE good in OED, Merriam-Webster, Collins, Scrabble US (TWL)
* UNCOMPUTED-DRYLY
*UNCOMPUTED good in OED
Yeah, it’s frustrating that uncomputed is not allowed but uncompleted is. I end up guessing wildly all the un…. words. A bit of a lottery. Wasn’t expecting uncompleted as incomplete would probably fit most contexts.

I’m looking at the other solutions and wondered if ‘uncomplete’ would be accepted. It is not, yet ‘uncompleted’ is. That seems a bit UNlogical 😉
I think that’s because ‘incomplete’ is more grammatically correct…..
Trounce Employed
Trounce Employed…
Aaahhh, retirement.
🎊
TROUNCE – EMPLOYED also.
Trounce Employed
and
Unemployed Decrypt
UNEMPLOYED / DECRYPT here.
Uncompleted – Dorymen
These ones with a million solutions always take me forever
UNCOMPLETED DECRY
TROUNCE — EMPLOYED
Couldn’t pair ELECTROCUTED, and EMPLOYMENT wouldn’t work.
Again,no OA, but trounce employed in s couple of minutes
Uncompleted dry
I still get frustrated every time I fail despite knowing there are still many puzzles to solve in the future.
————–
I found DECRYPT after ENCRYPT. But I focused on the latter because it can be stretched to UNENCRYPTED. I just ignored DECRYPT while I tried in vain to pair ENCRYPT and UNENCRYPTED.
Oa
UNCOMPLETED – DORMY
Trounce employed
Unemployed – Decurt / Decurted*
*OED/MW: Transitive. To cut down, shorten, curtail. Obsolete
Also toyed with… Roundmen, Poundmen, Unclouded, Dropout
Trounce employed
Spent way too long trying to get UNENCRYPTED to work before settling on TROUNCE – EMPLOYED. At least I have half a cup of coffee left 🙂
uncompleted-dry
I also went with the Elon Musk answer… trounce employed
Cut trundle empty. All that’s left for me is triples
Cute employed durn!
TROUNCE EMPLOYED pretty fast, was surprised it wasn’t the OA.
Mole encrypted due/duo.
Comply yet turned/turnround/trundle
Completely your round
Cheers!
RYU UNCOMPLETED
Surprised ODOMETRY accepted but not in MW. Also tried COUPLEDOM but didn’t find a match.
Correction: ODOMETRY is in my paperback MW Scrabble dictionary. But in the online website it only shows Odometer. Weird. (To me, at least.)
I got stuck after UNCOMPLETED
RYU – UNCOMPLETED
The power went out in the arcade when I was on the last level of Street Fighter!
ELECTROLYTE EMPOUND*
*used often in 19thC
UNCOMPLETED – DRY
Uncompleted – dry
Same!
Got OA! UNEMPLOYED – DECRYPT
Computed Dourly, which beautifully sums up my usual Letter Boxed experience! 😂
Missing N
Another UNCOMPLETED – DRY. Very quick solve again.
