Newbie here. Hello and thanks for letting me participate in the fun!
Subsists Scholarly
Welcome aboard, BEA; Have fun!
Thank you!
Welcome aboard, Bea! Watch out for the Halibuts and Wombats and especially the treacherous Numbats; they all show up with surprising frequency!
I will certainly keep them in mind. Thank you! 🙂
CHUBS SOLITARY
Welcome, and enjoy!
Thank you!
I like this solution!
BILIOUS – STARCHY 14/2
I know the feeling! Too many xmas cookies!
rubythroats silica
labours scritchy
CUBITS – SCHOLARLY
HISTORIC – CURABLY 14/2 prima vista -almost. Made time to have CHABLIS disallowed, so I’ve established I can hardly count on BORDEAUX for future use.
Oops, that’ll be 15/2
I should also acknowledge the merits of the official solution, in terms of both efficiency and thematic integrity, which reflects the exact reason I didn’t spot it; that HALO of OBSCURITY.
Agreed!
The word list does seem to have very restricted tastes in wine. Yes to Merlot but No to Shiraz, was it, recently?
I believe so, Bernie. I understand leaving off Chablis, as it is a proper noun for a region of France.
By the same token, however, they shouldn’t approve of CHAMPAGNE, DW; are we prepared to lay a bet that they won’t? I mean, one word the list certainly contains is INCONSISTENCY.
😂🥂
HOURS-SYBARITICAL
Hours of it even! Great!
Aw….. thought i might get that in first. Great find. You all are killing it today so many one letter leftovers today it took me forever
Chorus – Stability
I love this one! it’s odd I didn’t spot it, as my quite stable choruses are dominating my days in the usual whirlwind of holiday concerts (it’s money time!) – one last Saturday, one last night, another today, and one Monday night, and a final one on Tuesday. Canite Tuba in Sion, say (or rather, sing) I! Hodie in Terra Canunt Angeli!
Yes, this is what I came up with too—and in record time (for me)
Me too!
Touristic Charitably
AHISTORICAL-LAYABOUT
Great variety of solutions today! My first three in order:
CHORUS – SALABILITY
CHORUS – STABILITY
LABORIOUS – STARCHY
I guess the first two apply to the King’s College Choir; pick your favourite pasta for the third.
Those little pillowy things look pretty laborious! Tortellini? Gnocchi?
Halo Obscurity
isobutyl-larch 13/2 butyric-cholas 13/2
ABHOR – RUSTICLY, very quickly today.
An apt description of the MAGA mindset.
Historical-layabout. What can I say…. I was determined to make layabout/s work.
Making layabouts work is no mean feat; youu aced it, TK!
Snrrrkkk! Good one, Sota!
Oh, my. I had hopes my HISTORICAL-LAYABOUT was unique. Neither here nor in history it appears.
charas – solubility
I had nearly the same answer. chars-solubility
Bouts-starchily
CUBISTS—SCHOLARLY
Were they? I’m not sure.
ABSOLUTISTS—SCHOLARLY
ABSOLUTISTIC—CHARITY
LABORIOUS SCRATCHY after I could not find a solution for HISTORICAL
Same, after fruitless laboring to make chrysalis work.
My find… HIBISCUS SOLITARY
Nice—although rather poignant.
BILIOUS – SCRATCHY – an apt description of me when I have a case of poison ivy 🙂
Love the puzzles when there is more than one solution – keeps the neurons firing and increases the delight of seeing the creativity out there!
Holistic – curably (shortened from curability)
Cubists Scholarly
Rust touchability
CHORUS – SUBSTITUTABILITY
A nice array to kick off this holiday week.
Cheers everyone!
LABORIOUS STARCHY. Sounds like me in the kitchen.
HOURI — IRASCIBILITY
Well, who could blame her for being cranky?
CUBITS SCHOLARLY
And…BOUTS SCRATCHILY Which yes…many people do bout scratchily come to think of it.
