The answers are:
BRAWLSSOUSAPHONE
Brawls -sulphone
Same here! Sorry I missed Sousaphone; although less efficient than Sulphone, it’s a great word, and seen from a Battle of the Bands perspective, provides Brawls with much TI.
Here as well. Jaw dropped when SULPHONE was accepted. I was an english major so science not my wheelhouse. Took me over an hour, but I feel vindicated.
Brouhaha makes another appearance, second time this week – still unpairable!
BROUHAHA–ANSWERPHONE was one of my early attempts. It left only the L.
I’ve gone for a narrative four words today:
PUB BRAWLERS SWAP PHONE
LUBRA ANSWERPHONE. I wouldve felt aggrieved if i hadnt found this as i have no idea what a sousaphone is (being a non-american)
BRAWLERS – SULPHONE
Been a while since I used a chemical in my attempt!
14/2.BRAWLS SULPHONE
Brawlers sulphone too. Got as far as sulphon and then started randomly adding letters as usual! Was hoping phlebo + random letters would work similarly but had to give up on that one!
Oa. Tried bones, ware, and wear and then phone. Would have tried -erous but found sousaphone. Glad it wasn’t a repeat puzzle.
The NYT connections puzzle has eluded me today. Still trying to figure the last two.
Maybe it would help if I told you to skedaddle, before the weekend?
Gave up! So lost again in the litterboxed. Got me spinning round and round.
For six days:
OA-FAIL-OA-FAIL-OA-FAIL!
Had to settle for a threebie: BOULE-ENWRAP-PHOS.
A tough LB week.
BRAWLS – SOUSAPHONE mayhem at the parade. OA
Guess the word: 7-letter:
_ _ _ O _ _ _
CLUE: a word twin meaning meaning(s).
CLUE: there is only one ‘o’. and, it is the only vowel.
SYNONYM ?
What’s another word for “synonym”?
SYNONYM means a word’s DOUBLE. In short, DW: Double-Word.
METONYM ??
Oops, that has more then 1 vowel.
CHECKMARK!
Mark, SYNONYM is correct!
✔ Mark !
🙂
WHORLS – SUBPANEL. PSWs both.
Same here, and surprised unaccepted in LB.
Right?! Subpanel is a word! Gah.
BRAWS*-SULPHONE
*PSW but not accepted
I got that but, because it wasn’t accepted, I kept looking. Looked for some kind of word ending in PHONE (thought about instruments but didn’t think of SOUSAPHONE, which is something I’ve heard of). Didn’t see ANSWERPHONE but never heard of LUBRA (the partner displayed in an above comment) anyway. Never heard of SULPHONE either. Today was a tricky one for me. Found PHOSPHOROUS and PHOSPHERANE (just played about with the end of PHOSPHOROUS. Didn’t know PHOSPHERANE was a word). Ended up with a three:
PHOSPHOROUS SWAN NEBEL (didn’t know NEBEL was a word either hehe).
PHOSPHORANE*
Thank you! This looks great!!
Yes, that would have been nice. Don’t know what’s so wrong with Subpanel!
Brawlers – Sulphone. I laughed when I put this in thinking it might be an alternative spelling to cell phone :)))) I was surprised when it went through.
So frustrated today.
ORPHAN NEBULOUS and NEBULOUS SPRAWL each left me a letter short. And how dare they arrange the board so you can’t play NARWHAL!?!
Oh my, I also plumped for one-shy NEBULOUS-SPRAWL and was annoyed about the NARWHAL! Great minds. What is a SOUSAPHONE?? 🤷🏽♀️
It’s a marching band instrument, sort of like a super-size tuba. It wraps around you so you pretty much WEAR it.
Jean Shepherd said of the instrument that “sometimes when the wind is off the lake, the sousaphone plays YOU”!
OA, but only after a tussle..thought i was onto something when I saw HOBNOBS early on and kept chasing for a starter word that ended in H 🙂
OA here. Again, wouldn’t have bet it was the OA.
Another fail for me. Bolus Spawner with a left over H was as close as I got.
Had Answer, had Earphone. Why did I not have Answerhone? Ah yes, they’re a thing of the past!
Brawls Sulphone
I worked on this one off and on all day — could tell in the first 15 minutes that the OA would be annoyingly obscure, but didn’t want to give up on my 29-day winning streak. So I searched. And searched. AND SEARCHED. I was ready to call it quits multiple times, but decided to try ANSWERPHONE out of sheer desperation and, lo and behold, it was accepted. Another 20 minutes of frantic trial and error led me to LUBRA (kudos to DHW for landing there as well!). Felt vindicated to keep the streak alive, and doubly so when I saw friggin’ SOUSAPHONE in the OA…
So go the ups and downs of Letterboxed. 😅
