The answers are:
FEDORAANTIQUARK
Frequented – Daikon
FREQUENTED
DAIKON
FREQUENTED – DAIKON also.
Radish fetish?
Same
ditto, nothing with FOREQUARTER
Exactly the same. Frequented— Daikon but hated to give up on Forequarter.
Hey DDO!
similar for me,
FREQUENTED DAIKON …
but the words i saw first were QUARANTINE(D) … i couldn’t get a pair for either of those and LB wouldn’t take REQUARANTINE or DEQUARANTINE so i figured i needed to move on to something more common …
😎🐝🇺🇸
Same. And it was my fasted solve ever making me think that it had to be the OA.
Same. Tried Daikon by chance, was surprised it is a word…0
I too Frequented Daikon (the local Japanese eatery). The OA seems like a stretch!
Like that! Got FEDORA and ANTIQUE (and ERK to get the K in) but glad I didn’t waste energy looking for ANTIQUARK!
FORETOKENED—DAIQUIRI
Good one
Nice
A mixed drink in you future! 🙂
QUIRKED DEFIANT
FEDORA — ANTIQUARK
Found NEUTRINO, but LB does take ANTINEUTRINO, so I wasn’t going to even try ANTIQUARK at first. When that worked, I worked backwards to FEDORA. Not many words start with K and/or end with A, with the remaining letters.
Doesn’t take ANTINEUTRINO…
A good physics day nonetheless:
ANTINEUTRON
NEUTRON
KAON K⁺, K⁰, K⁺
IRON ₂₆Fe
TIN ₅₀Sn
RADON ₈₆Rn
✔
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaon
*typo with superscripts.
I meant: K⁺, K⁰, K⁻
Kaons are composed of two quarks, while protons and neutrons are composed of three.
Mr. Neutron, infinitely the most dangerous man in the world! Really!
FEDORA / ANTIQUARK here…
Frequented daikon
Uncle! Just finding two-word pairs I can’t link.
QUOTIDIAN KERF
ANTIQUARIAN FORKED
I got frequented and daikon……..quickly and a first for me!
OA.
Frequented-daikon
Frequented daikon.found it when checking why LB didn’t take diakon . LB likes kraken but not Quaker interestingly
LB generally refuses proper nouns. (Though small-q quaker *is* in the OED, and it always annoys me when LB balks at it.)
Thanks. Meant lower case q, just didn’t correct it.I’m thinking of starting a list of real words that LB doesn’t accept.on the other hand, that’s part of the fun of it.the harder the search,the more enjoyable the find
Well, I’m impressed with you all! I had FREQUENTED right away, but couldn’t come up with a pair. I had TOKAIDO, which was great, but a proper noun.
Also FREQUENTED DIAKON but it didn’t take the radish, but it likes ANTIQUARK??
Was hoping ROQUEFORT might help. Not allowed. Still at it.
QUAINTER REFINED DORK, which one could use to describe me.
DAIQIRI-INTERFERED-DORK is me 🤪
How many have you had? You left out the “u”. 🙂
Oh Lordy, this took me all day! Another FREQUENTED DAIKON here. Thought I had something with UNDERQUOTED, KEFIR, FAKIR, UNDERFED, QUOTIDIAN, ANTIQUARIAN, FREAKOUT. Didn’t see DAQUIRI but added it to the list.
Same exact process! Freakout, Kefir and Fakir are all great, too bad they couldn’t be worked into a solution.
Freakout Tranqed Din…
otherwise it’s all:
Horseradish and Haberdasheries.
A lot of one and the tiniest of the other.
a three word solution:
FAKIR REQUIRED DONUT
also
QUOTED DARKENED DEFINE
Fedora – Antique – Eke
Failed 😔
FOREQUARTER-RIND-DARK was the best I could manage
Here is the full list including Scrabble words:
