      My solution, too. And, it explains why I’ve never cared for that flavor—it’s actually an extraterrestrial recipe!

      Several promising starts, with REDOLENT and REDOLENCE, but couldn’t pair them.

    Relaunched Dowt, that time in Aberdeen when I failed to flick my cigarette butt where I intended. Admittedly, had to look up Dowt.
    Also Tower Relaunched, which may have something to do with NASA.
    I anticipate plenty of creative answers with this array! Go get ‘em, LBers!

      Same OA variation for me. I would’ve liked to use Cowcatcher, since it doesn’t come a great deal in casual conversation.

    Started with Wrenched, Drenched, Countenance, Colourate, etc. Made a double with Whaler & Recounted. Not alone it seems. 🙂

        Same. The official name of the person who does the night watch at the cathedral. Along with the sacristan diurnal, they have it covered.

    I’m looking forward to seeing lots of creative solutions today, as the possibilities do seem abundant.

    I saw WALNUT—TORCHED for a 13/2. I don’t remember ever actually roasting a walnut but the bagged toasted ones are a good snack.

    My personal favorite, since I love geometry, is the OUTLAWED—DODECAHEDRON.
    As one of the five Platonic solids, it stood apart from the other four. The tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, and hexahedron (cube) were associated with fire, air, water, and earth respectively. The mystical dodecahedron was akin to the heavenly realm.

    Largest anagram group found:
    {CANTERED, CRENATED, DECANTER, NECTARED, RECANTED}

    Happy LB day!
    😊

    Tower Relaunched – don’t like it but too lazy to do better. Launch and Tower were looking good but the marriage ain’t so pretty.

    After failing with OUTWATCHED, NOCTURNAL, COWARD, WORLDED, COWHERD, COLOURANT, COHERENT and others, I finally got

    UNLATCHED DOWERED.

    Didn’t think to try DOWER but I’m happy nonetheless, especially after being unsuccessful at getting 2s in the last 2 days.

    Some really great solves today. My favourite is CHURCHWARDEN NOCTURNAL.

      Thanks Susan. 🙂 I must say, for those so inclined, that calculating the volume of a dodecahedron is a good challenge.
      In closed form it is (15+7√5)/4
      Pythagorean theorem, over and over, …

          Thanks KP, I wish I could. I liked your idea the other day with the musical instruments. It’s not my wheelhouse but I could easily put together a list for cross-ref, like the colors, atoms, etc.

            It’s funny, but one of my hangups is that I keep missing the musical references. It’s as if that part of my brain turns off when I try to solve a LB puzzle.

    many quick options today:
    watercolour – reharden
    watercolour – relaunched
    outlawed – drench
    outwatched – darnel
