The answers are:
INEDUCABLEEARMARK
CLUNKIER—RAMBLED
A political speech gone awry.
UNMIRACLED—DRINKABLE
Just plain water.
Unmiracled is a word? 🤨
There are so many Un words LB doesn’t accept but it accepted that? 😮
Duckbeardman Nil
If unmiracled is a word then I insist on Duckbeardman (we’ve all had one as a manager!)
CLUNKIER-RAMBLED here as well. I started out with LUCKIER and noticed that if I could include the N in the first word I would be home free.
Same…
Clunkier – Rambled
quickly for a change
Same, and quickly for me too.
CLUNKIER
RAMBLED
as well
UNLUCKIER RAMBLED
Clunkier or Unluckier Rambled (how I got lost out walking), plus Cumbered Drinkable (bartender says I gotta pay my tab). Unmiracled does seem like a stretch, although I love the TI!
UNLUCKIER-RAMBLED. surely more efficient solutions out there….?
Aha! I see Mark has one. Very good.
Cumbered Drinkable
Yup ! got this one too.
Close by with UNLUCKIER – RAMBLED (agree with Steph, can’t believe there aren’t more “effiicient” word pairs with good storylines!). Found UNDRINKABLE, EARMARK, ACIDIC, ACRID, etc. (without pairs)…
UNLUCKIER-RAMBLED for me too—at least it’s more efficient than the peculiar OA. I also tried KNUCKLE(R/D), CRINKLED, CRACKLED, AMICABLE, CUCUMBER,…
Why I didn’t get this I don’t know. Played with Drinkable and Cucumber.
Settled for Midback Knuckler which I like but LB doesn’t; Midback is not accepted 🙁
CUMBERED / DRINKABLE
Another CUMBERED – DRINKABLE.
Same
CUMBERED – DRINKABLE
I was on my third cucumber water before it all came together.
Same
CUMBERED DRINKABLE too but I thought it was pretty inelegant.
Me too, ALIOW!
Same
MUCID DRINKABLE
Same here.
CLUNKIER RAMBLED
that boat needs it’s keel scraped, mate. It’s BARNACLED DINKUM.
CUMBERED – DRINKABLE
TI: you *can* take a swig… but it won’t be easy!
Side note: I had no idea cumbered was a word. I knew encumbered (which couldn’t work with this grid) which apparently means the same thing. But just gave it a try. Lo and behold…!
Unmiracled – Debark got me there in the end but was frustrated with lots of other near misses with nicer words. Found it weird that LB would accept UNMIRACLED but not DUNKABLE. Clearly not a fan of tea and biscuits.
I know, I wanted Dunkable too. We need to send Sam a packet of gingernuts!
CUMBERED – DRINKABLE.
CLUNKIER-RAMBLED
UNMANACLED – DRINKABLE. I tell you, the lengths over has to go to one order to find an unreported solution by the time one wakes…
😆
MUCID — DRINKABLE
Played with ADMIRABLE, LUMBERMAN, NICKABLE, AMICABLE, CAMBERED, DAMNABLE, and MACUBA.
Tried RIDICULE/D, too. Could not find a pair.
Don’t see anyone getting the OA today.
Darn it! I didn’t see this before I posted
CIRCUMLUNAR — REDBACK
Whether a red-backed sandpiper or a red-backed Australian spider, I had never heard of REDBACK (but it worked!)
Rednecks = paleskins who work in fields.
Redbacks = naked pakeskins who work in fields 🙂
clunkier – rambled
Mucid – drinkable
unluckier – rambled
easiest one yet
Was sure i would find a —-bird here somewhere as they all flew away from me. I ran out of time and patience today. Lots of one letter leftovers today fir me
MUCID DRINKABLE
MUCID – DRINKABLE
just hold your nose
UNMIRACLED DRINKABLE
Went with UNLUCKIER-RAMBLED, which was slightly clunkier than the CLUNKIER-RAMBLED solution a number of others got. Still easier than WALTZ-ZIRCONIUM was for me yesterday which I didn’t get until late in the evening.
CUMBERED – DRINKABLE
heavy water
