CLUMPSSTARBOARD
CLAPBOARD—DATUMS
BROADCASTS—SLUMP
CLUMPS—STARBOARD
I meant to say DATUMS°, as it’s in OED.
Plural of DATUM is DATA (like MEDIUM and MEDIA, FORUM and FORA, STADIUM and STADIA). Surprised OED allows DATUMS.
Datums is a mathematics term.
I thought I had a solution with CLAPBOARD-DATUMS. Wound up solving with BROADCASTS-SLUMP
OA today.
Broadcasts — Slump. Thought it would be the OA.
Same. I thought it was OA for sure
TI: when ratings take a dive
Me too! BROADCASTS SLUMP. Thought. It was OA.
I had sportscasts for while and was sure it should be OA…but the B in broadcasts made perfect sense. Then slump was easy.
Same
BROADCASTS / SLUMP too.
BROADCASTS SLUMP here too
BROADCASTS – SLUMP
Same! Feeling ridiculous after trying with BROADCAST on its own for far too long. My instinct knew that was it, but it took far too long to make it a plural!
same.
BROADCASTS – SLUMP, too.
Same. Slumlord and podcast seemed hopeful but deadended…
OA Today!
Hit the OA today quite quickly. Didn’t hurt that I was literally on a ferry when I opened the puzzle.
CLUMPS STARBOARD…
Spread out everybody! We’re gonna tip over!!
🤣
😉
Good one! OA quickly for a change after playing with STARDOM and SPORTSCLUB (2 words apparently)
OA after starting with STARBURST. The remaining letters led me to CLUMPS but with some leftovers, and then I saw the OA.

Same here, was gonna call it a solve after DATUMS was accepted by all the word-check sources, but hung with it a few more minutes to get the OA.
Was hoping to use CUPBOARD DOLDRUMS but left with T.
OA.
