The answers are:
REFORMABLEETHIC
TITCHIER REFORMABLE
OA. So quickly I’m going to look for more
I guess formable ethic is more efficient
FORMABLE—ETHIC 13/2
Same. I desperately wanted to use malefactor but could not find a way.
Same. Relatively quickly too.
Same, an easy one.
FORMABLE / ETHIC
Pretty quick. First 13/2 in quite a while.
Ditto!
Yeah, quickest solve I’ve had in a while. Had it within the first 6 words I saw in the grid. And more efficient than the OA. Yay for us!
Here too. The shorter OA version.
Had the ABLE and ended up with HITCHER – REFORMABLE as my first solution…thank goodness after days without my LB mojo
Similar, 1 less letter:
Itchier – Reformable
Close with
Iambic – Clothier (no F)
ITCHIER – REFORMABLE for me as well.
Clothier Reformable
Same after about 20 minutes of struggle.
OA quickly (Formable Ethic: a principle from Column A, a tenet from Column B…), but also Clothier Reformable (cracking down on those third-world sweatshops) and Bioform Malachite, which I’m pretty sure can’t be a thing.
ITCHIER REFORMABLE
Formable Ethical
HITCHER – REFORMABLE.
Same here. Someone deserving of a second chance.
Me three
FORMABLE – ETHIC
FORMABLE – ETHERIC
Not to be too dogmatic, but I ain’t afraid of no ghosts.
Ha!
Formable etheric here as well.
Formable etheric
REFORMABLE — ETHICAL
BACTERIC* — CHLOROFORM
Also found THERMOFORM*, MICROMOLE, MICROTOMIC
Yes— apparently THERMOFORMABLE is not accepted by LB, but it led me to FORMABLE-ETHIC, once I dropped the THERMO.
Don’t drop the Thermo!
Peace
😂
FORMIC-CHAMBERLET
ALIOW
BLOTCHIER REFORMABLE
BLOTCHIER-REFORMABLE for me too. I found BLOTCHIER in 2 seconds and struggled a bit. Then I spend way too much time trying to pair BEACHCOMBER to no avails before returning to where I started.
OA.
ITCHIER – REFORMABLE
Same here. Decided not to try adding the B as the first letter, but it may gave made for a better TI.
Such language! LB clutches its pearls.
itchier – reformable as well
Formable Ethic
Formable Ethic… on sale now.
FORMABLE – ETHIC
TI: teaching morals to the impressionable
CABRIOLET—THEREFROM
Merriam-Webster: cabriolet, noun, 1: a light 2-wheeled one-horse carriage with a folding leather hood, a large rigid shield in front of the seat, and upward-curving shafts, 2: a convertible coupe
Same here! Cabriolet seems to be more common in French, my original language.
I knew the Chevy car interpretation, but I had forgotten the precise, original definition.
And such a lovely word! I’m sorry I missed it.
CLOTHIER REFORMABLE
Yup
ITCHIER – REFORMABLE
me too!
but spent way too much time on this one.
😎🐝🇺🇸
I got FORMABLE and ETHIC but I really wanted chloroform to work.
Same situation but with rhetorical!!
Here too. The shorter version of the OA.
BIOFORM – MALACHITE
Lots of tunnels to head down today: MICRO, MACRO, THERMAL (sad to see BIOTHERMAL not accepted), BEFORE, AFTER…. Happy Friday ALL!
Started with bachelor, but could not finish, darn!
Nice solution Susan.
👍
Lovely earth-oriented answer!
CABRIOLET-THEREFROM
would have been nice to pair BEACHCOMBER
Anyone find a pair with beachcomber?
bioform – microthermal
TETCHIER REFORMABLE
Formable – ethic
Why would reformable be the answer? That’s less efficient…
Also did anyone find a word to go with rhetorical?? Got stuck on that first for a while
FAMBLER* RHETORICAL
*obs: glove;
Samuel Johnson defined “famble” in his famous dictionary as “to hesitate.”
Hitcher/clothier reformable after waaaay too much trying with malefactor and beachcomber
Several 2w answers shy of one letter. Lots of 3w’s, my fave TI was AMIABLE EROTIC CHEF. Shortest was ORCA AFT THIMBLE. Made-up 2w: MALEFACTOR “REHABIT” (not a word, or 3w with REHAB and BIT)… got REFORM and ETHIC/AL but only later started trying -able instead of -amble. By then it was time to stop already.
chamfer – ribitol
I forgot to post this last night…
