OA in less than a minute.
Haha. Same here. Had fun instead of angst going around the box!
Took awhile …. But OA
Yes, this was a fun one, for once. “Flamethrower? I’m in!”
Flamethrower Rub. The new improved IcyHotHotHot! Or the latest BBQ technique.
Yep, and as it turns out, arson can leave blisters.
I was thrown out again today. My best efforts:
FLAMEOUT THROW WEB
WEB BEHALF FORMULATE

I got a late start today because of Christmas activities but I found the OA in a reasonable amount of time.
I hope Santa was good to everyone.
Oops! Wrong day ^
Flaw Worth Humble
Fleawort Thumb…. something like a green finger, I guess.
Same, and very quickly.
FLEAWORT-TUMBLEHOME
Slightly less efficient: flamethrower ruble
WATERFOWLER-RHUMB
Same.
Congrats to those who got Waterfowler/rhumb. Got waterfowl and -er pretty quickly but gave up after I couldn’t dance home with Rhumba and eventually found OA.
Same. Fell on RHUMB purely by accident trying out variations of RUMBHA/RHUMB(A) (In navigation, a rhumb line, rhumb (/rʌm/), or loxodrome is an arc crossing all meridians of longitude at the same angle).
Got hung up on WEATHER, TUBEWORM, looking for words with HALF in them, LEAFWORM*, BLAMEWORTH(missing Y), words with FATHER, and variations of T/R/HUMBLE(R)…took way too long to find a 2-word solution given how many there are!!
Mine too.
Same. Pretty quickly.
FLAMETHROWER — RUB/RUBE/REBUT/RHUMB/RUBLE/RUMBO/RUMBLE…..
Saw THERMOMETER, WEATHER, OUTHALF, FLAME, and then FLAMETHROWER.
I got waterfowl quickly, but couldn’t match it up properly
OA.
I typically do worse with compound words. But, for some reason, I found FLAMETHROWER in a couple of minutes, which all but solved the puzzle.
flamethrower – rub
Flamethrower — Rub after a not very successful week
The WATERFOWLER—RUBE, and the FLAMETHROWER—RHUMB.
Who was the RUMOURER, and who was the REMEMBERER?
They used the TELETHERMOMETER to FORMULATE
the TUMBLEHOME of their AEROBOAT.
THEREAFTER, they’d be known as the WATERFOWLER—REHUMBLE,
and the FLAMETHROWER—RETUMBLE.
The End.
No epilogue, to describe the AFTERMATH?
Yes, you’re right KP, there should be an AFTERMATH, especially since I missed an H on the first character. 🙂
OA almost instantaneously. Fastest ever for me.
Oa
Flamethrower Rub
MOUTHBOW* WATERFOWL
OA
OA
I got it! Merry Christmas!
Waterfowler Rhumb
OA, tried rethrow first and when I saw it wasn’t a word did thrower then my brain immediately went flamethrower and I then realized I have the letters to make it work so a pretty quick LB 🙂
Nice to see some old names since it’s been a while since I’ve done LB 🙂

OA after running through WATERFOWL, AFTERMATH, MEALWORM, FLATWORM as well as trying OUTER and WATER prefixes which led to tons of dead ends. At least it’s a win for the day!
FLAMETHROWER -RUB It took me a while!
HUMBOW* WATERLEAF.
