CHOPSTICKSSANGRIA
How about photographic conks? Where I come from conks are big noses so best to avoid profile portraits.
PHOTOGRAPHIC-CONKS too.
great theme for it Jenny, but the OA is more mouthwatering
Photographic-Conks for me as well. Surprised it took me as long as it did to see the graph option sitting in the puzzle. Had tried to finish corporations for a while before I saw it.
Same – took me a bit to see -graph…Found GRAPHICS – STONK (artillery bombardment)…more effective than OA but definitely less gustatory 😉
I got the same answer. And thanks for giving the definition of stonk!
same
Same, but had no idea what a Stonk was, thanks!
Ditto and darn near didn’t bother trying, because I thought it was slang!
PORNOGRAPHIC CHOPSTICK
I got this, too. Conks. I feel so cheap.
CHAPSTICKS SIGNOR
I’m not particularly proud of this solution but LB accepted both words so I’ll take the win.
I agree that CHAPSTICK is a trademarked name and shouldn’t be allowed.
Note:
On 25 March 2024 the OA was
GNERIC CHAPSTICK.
^GENERIC
Photographic-chanks
Same!
Same
Me too! PHOTOGRAPHIC – CHANKS
PROGNATHIC – CASK
Ticks sonograph…silent sounds?
I too took a picture of a big nose and got PHOTOGRAPHIC-CONKS.
Same.
Sticks Sonograph
Photographic — Conks here, too
HISTORIOGRAPHIC / CONK works…
Same
PHOTOGRAPHIC-CONKS too
Photographic Conks is what i got too!
CHOPSTICKS – SPRANG
Ditto
GRAPHICS STONK 13/2
Same here
Me too!
graphics-stonk
Phonographic or Pornographic Chapsticks. You choose
Still reject chapstick as a legit word for LB as it should be trade marked
Graphics Stonk
PORNOGRAPHIC – CHOPSTICK
for me, rather worryingly
I am glad I saw PHONOGRAPHIC-CHOPSTICK before that one! Showing my age, not sure a phonographic chopstick works well on ny turntable – stylus or needle is still my preference.
ChapSticks signor
PARAGONS SCHTICK
Me too!
Got a variant of this with Protagons-Schtick.
Same!
PHOTOGRAPHIC-CONKS
CHOPSTICKS-SPORANGIA
KRAITS-SONOGRAPHIC
PROGNATHIC-COCKS
GRAPHITIC-CONKS
CAPTIONS-SKIAGRAPH
PHOTOGRAPHISTS-SNACK
HISTORIOGRAPHIC-CONK
✔ and ‘skiagraphic’ was a master key today.
PHOTOGRAPHISTS SNACK here too, and not proud of it, but I was on the phone at the time and not paying full attention.
graphitic – conks as well
PANTOGRAPHIC-CASK
CHAPSTICKS-SARONG
KHANGA-APHORISTIC
This was my answer. ☝️
That was supposed to go under CHAPSTICKS – SARONG…
Topographic Chanks
HOPSACKS – SIGNATORS
NONGRAPHIC* – CHOPSTICK
(Why is NONGRAPHIC not accepted?)
Topographic conks
A key word today was ‘skiagraphic’, which left only the N, O, and T, and led to several symmetric pairs.

Master key indeed! I showcase interesting words from time to time. Today, I’m all over the place with this embarrassment of riches. My hands are starting to cramp. Happy letter boxing!
PHOTGRAPHIC – CONKS too
Chopsticks -Sarong
CHOPSTICKS – SARONG also.
Chronographic chopstick
Topographic Conks
– bumps on the head (phrenology?)
Ticks Sonograph
– they use itty bitty machines
Graphics Stonk
– cause that’s a word I totally knew and use all the time. Stink, stank, stonk!, Mr. Grinch.
KITS / SONOGRAPHIC
TI for the OA:
Jerry Jeff Walker in a Chinese restaurant.
Brilliant! This sent me down a rabbit hole fishing for a favorite live version of Sangria Wine where JJ seems to get progressively snockered with each verse.
Ticks sonograph
PORNOGRAPHIC – CHAPSTICK
PORNOGRAPHIC – CHOPSTICK
PORNOGRAPHIC – CHAPSTICK
And that’s as far as I’m willing to go on the matter.
I feel a bit lowbrow for using STARSIGN 🙁
Dan
OA TODAY!
TICKS – SONOGRAPHIC
Or KNOTS – SONOGRAPHIC
CHOPSTICKS – SPRANG
Another fun puzzle! KITS – SONOGRAPHIC. That’s probably what they called portable medical imaging equipment in the 16th century.
CHOPSTICKS – SARONG or CHAPSTICKS – SARONG, but I like the former for TI and I agree with Mark on the illegitimacy of chapstick 🙂
Prognathic-cask
Prognathic – Chicks. A TI of sorts, I guess. There are so many good answers today. In the process I learned a new word and its meaning. Always nice when something fun turns into a learning experience.
Orgiastic chapstick. Weird but just first find
Cool but missing the N. Orgiantic maybe, if that were a word. (Gigantic cockhorns is one that I tried, but they didn’t like that for some reason.)
I’m not contented with my answer today so I look for more. Namely:
1. PORNOGRAPHIC – CHOPSTICK
2. TOPOGRAPHIC – CONKS
3. PARAGONS – SCHTICK
But, I’m still not contented. What would satisfy me is getting the OA. I was using pen and paper so I didn’t get SANGRIA. Had I been using my phone I may spot it by fiddling on the leftovers of CHOPSTICK. Ughhhh…
PANTOGRAPH-HICKS (15/2)
Rural architects?
Photochronographic – Chicks
ANTHROPOPHAGIC CASK
Excellent!
Creepy, but excellent. 🙂
Histographic conk
KITS — SONOGRAPHIC
Found SONAR, then GRAPHIC, which led to SONOGRAPHIC, which left only the T and K. KITS was right there as a plural, and I am sure that there are more out there, but no time today.
PROGNATHIC-COCKS
Photographic and conks.
CORPORATIONS – SCHTICK
G?
Corporations – skiagraph
CHOPSTICKS SARONG
Graphics stonk
PORNOGRAPHISTS-SICK
Skip prognathic. Feels like still not OA
Duh! Forget that!
Prognathic cocks roosters by definition
Paragons schtick
CHOPSTICKS-SARANG also works.
Kits sonograpic
Prognathic corks
Can’t believe just found graph! Phonographic/pornographic chapsticks/chopsticks. Hope chapstick has a plural
For fun, a made up word that uses all letters. Organophosphaticki. Russian for organophosphates
😂 sounds right to me
👍
I saw this and tried ORGANOPHOSPHORUS but no U, and apparently ORGANOPHOSPHORIC is not a word. 🙁 Oh well, nice try!
Yep, yesterday you said it when you said “there’s more out there”
Too many good ones today. Nicely done!
I got PORNOGRAPHIST TACK pretty quickly and HISTOGRAPHIC CONK a bit later.
Got sidelined by PROGNOSTICATOR/TION/S.
ICONOGRAPHIC-CHAPSTICK
Pornographic – Chapstick. Eww
TACKS-SONOGRAPHIC
Hit the mother lode with sonography. Skits/kits/schticks/ticks/sticks/stocks/tacks/knots/storks/chopsticks/chapsticks. -sonography/sonographic. That’s twenty two alone woowee
STORKS SONOGRAPHIC Large birds delivering baby pix perhaps?
For the first time I seem to be unique with this solution. Or at least the only on posted with it.
Packrats sonographic
Topographic Conks
Prognathic chicks/chocks. Prognathic chopsticks/chapsticks
Rockstars sonographic
Chapsticks. Sarong
Phonographic chopsticks/chapsticks
Ticktocks sonograph/sonographic
Ratpacks sonograph/sonographic
TICKS – SONOGRAPH
Comes with its own backbeat.
The OA sounds a lot more fun though.
PHOTOGRAPHIC – CONKS
SONODGRAPHIC – CHAPSTICK
GRAPHICS – STONK
Chapsticks signator
Letter boxed can take a while- but not today! Got Graphics-stonk within 10 seconds, easily my personal fastest 2 word solve!
Photographic Chanks
Apparently Chanks is a word in LB 🙂
prognostic chank
Kraits sonographic
Photographists snack
Graphics Stonk
Same but what’s a stonk ?
PHOTOGRAPHIC – CONKS
Taking out the paparazzi, perhaps?
Or when the hitman uses his camera to take out his mark…
CHOPSTICKS-STARSIGN
ICONOGRAPHIC CHAPSTICK
prognostic chank
knap prognostication
CANTOS – SKIAGRAPH
Chopsticks sangar
PROGNOSTICANT-THICK. Too tired to think of anything more efficient.
