BOWYER boasted of battles he’d fought,
Till he boarded the ROWBOAT he bought;
With a ROAR from the shore,
He could FORBEAR no more—
And escaped in a wagon RUNFLAT.
NEWLY was accepted, hon, as per your first post. Great to feel justified in how long it took with so few good ones. Shocked that obvious words like REFUTABLY and RENEWABLY were not in the word list.
Happy Sunday!
I saw it after I posted and I knew your eagle eye would catch it. 😊
Mysterious on REFUTABLYʷ.
☕☕
REFUTABLY, NO WATERBOY ON LB. YOW! UNREAL! BYE FOR NOW, BRO…

TURBOFAN-NEWLY here after being furious that REFUTABLY (had that in 2 minutes) and RENEWABLY (later) were not options. Took an hour.
RF and Kanishk, hope to see you soonest, my besties. K, holding the space for whenever you’re back.
Right, travelling today, so see you all at some point tomorrow when we have a break from school! Good luck and happy Sunday, all!
I got the OA and it was a very satisfying solve.
Well done Miss Irim. I hope Kanishk-boy can come back soon.
TURBOFAN NEWLY here too, and can’t believe BROWNER REFUTABLY wasn’t accepted.
Or even OWNER and REFUTABLY, which was my choice. Shocking. And RENEWABLY not being an option?!
Fairly quick OA
FABULATOR RENEWABLY
RENEWABLY showed up as not accepted for me when I tried it with FABULATOR.
OA finally after trying Waterboy Yearnful. But “water boy” in dictionaries is usually spelled as two words or hyphenated (OED). Waterbearer would work, but I couldn’t match it up.
Also FANWORT* TUNEABLY**
*MW
**Century Dict.
Turbofan Newly
EYEBROW – WALNUT here after spending way too much time with BROWNOUT and UNLAWYERLY and tons of other tunnels with no cheese. Can’t believe it wasn’t the OA. Was also disappointed that WATERBOY wasn’t accepted, but maybe it’s now WATERPERSON 🙂
Susan, no F!
😉
Waterborne eyeful , took way too long. It seemed as if there would be many solves at first,and maybe there are , I’ll try a little more before seeing what the brilliant minds on here have found
Some tries: yearnful afterburner unfortunate neuronal lawyerly laboratory turnabout runabout botfly outfly flyby funereal ebony bylaw outlaw town ably retro tyro natural eternal and more
And alternator. So there were about three non wictionary type solves? Agree on refutable and renewable , can’t even remember how many ably’S I tried. All’s well that ends well . Time for evening study at church , the pastor has picked twenty doctrines , one per week to cover. Irim might be interested
