The answers are:
BILKEDDOWNTURN
OA. Again thought this might not be the official
Undertow weblike – 10 seconds flat
Undertow – Weblike too, but after 45 minutes laboring with near misses and good words:
Rebuild – Downtown (no K)
Builder – Reknown (no T)
Underwrite – Elbow (no K)
Unbeknown, Boulder, Rewound, Redoubled, Bunkered, Doublet, Nutrition, Blundered, Tubelike, Riblike, Underwired, *Underbuild
RUBDOWN – NUTLIKE
Don’t think I would’ve gotten the OA.
oa too
BILKED – DOWNTURN
When they steal the blankets.
Yes indeed. Took a few minutes longer than it should have. Instinctively knee it would be a compound with Down. Was kind of annoyed they didn’t accept DOWNLIT. Would’ve been done sooner. Mvua’s comment also reminds me of a Nick DiPaolo comedy bit about hotel rooms – in short – Desk calls up to the room – “Sir would you like us to come turn the bed down for you?” “Why? Is it making too much noise?”
🤣
Also OA, BTW

Damn, I tried elbowlike but couldn’t find confirmation. Aren’t many words compatible with “like”?
Found one.
TRUNKLIKE – ELBOWED
UNDERTOW-WEBLIKE
KILTER-RUBDOWN
I wondered about WIRKED. I loved DOUBLETON so WIRKED, no, WORKED too hard to make something fit.
UNDERTOW-WEBLIKE
ARGH! I tried WEBLIKE and didn’t see UNDERTOW.
Opposite here… Settled for TURBID DOWNLIKE, which was accepted just about everywhere but LB.
trunklike-elbowed
UNDERTOW WEBLIKE
had lot of candidates: UNBEKNOWN UNBRIDLED DILUTER BOWKNOT but didnt lead to anything
OA after a failed love affair with DOUBLETON, WEBLIKE, DEBUNKED, REBOUNDED.
Horribly embarrassed at how long it took me to remember BILKED was an option, because I wanted BLINKED to work. No, I’m not telling, but at least it’s still morning here!
UNDERTOW WEBLIKE
Bilked downturn
Bekilted(W) downturn
OA first attempt. Like some of your alternatives better.
UNDERTOW WILDBOK*
*var. of Wildsbok
“Juta’s Dictionary Afrikaans-English and English-Afrikaans“
👍
Kilter rubdown
Same here.
Trunklike elbowed
UNDERTOW WEBLIKE
OUTREBOUND DEWLIKE*
*Century Dictionary
I could not believe either of these were actual words.
UNKNOWED – DRIBLET
OA
Bilked — Downturn reasonably quickly
UNBEWILDERED* DONKIT**
*OED.
** “made dank” cit. Dunbar. ”English Writers: An Attempt Towards a History of English Literature.”
this is neither here nor there, but I think it’s weird that DRUID is “Not in word list”
Unknowed Driblet
Did not expect unknowed to be an acceptable word. Even my phone autocorrect says it’s a misspelling.
