          Yes, Famine to Feast, with a plethora of solutions today!
          I found Plutocratic Coverage (Fox, Forbes, Fortune), Geopolitical Lurve (trump for his dictatorial BFFs), Algetic Coverup (to deflect from the pain caused by said Lurve), Galactic Coverup (how big the deflection would need to be), and Coper Regulative (how Agency personnel try to keep on keeping on despite it all). Also, Apologetic Galactopoietic Curve (she was sorry she’d put on weight, but it was needed for breastfeeding).

      Another GULP PROVOCATIVE. I kept going to find another 2w, as I was so close, many just missing one letter. Lots of great words, and 3w answers with fun TI.

      GULP – PROVOCATIVE for me too, and a real saver for me today! I gave up on Spelling Bee after staring at it for too long (I only play Spelling Bee to find the panagram), and when I went to look up the answer, I accidentally came here and had the OA ruined for me. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I didn’t see anything else though, so I played on hoping I could find an alternate (and that it wouldn’t be a singular solution day), and lo and behold, there was the supremely thematic GULP – PROVOCATIVE! 🎉

    I was proud of myself for getting EVOCATIVE-EARPLUG quickly, then come here to find a nearly endless list of possibilities… 😄

    In under a minute, I went from seeing and drawing out GLOVER to the ER making me see REVUE to the RE suddenly making me see PRE- and then PRO- right on its heels to then starting over to draw out PROVOke but then to seeing no K and so to detouring up to C to then just ambling into drawing out PROVOCATIVE (towards the end of which I noticed PROVOCATEUR and made a mental note) and then to seeing GUL was all that was left and so to starting over with a GULP. And Bob’s your uncle.

    Since I only ever go for one or two-word solutions, I’ve noticed the EASIEST PUZZLES tend to be actually the ones with solution(s) using the BIGGEST WORDS, unless it’s just one and it’s obscure, archaic, or nonstandard.

    It seems counterintuitive that the hardest puzzles aren’t the ones with the biggest words, but to me, the puzzle’s difficulty increases as the size of the biggest words I can form decreases because the number of letters left for the companion word increases, generally speaking. It’s like the number of combinations exponentially increases as the number of letters left increases, but at the same time, the number of actual possibilities exponentially decreases, such that it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

    Anyway, this is just something I’ve noticed and I wondered if anyone else noticed it to or if it’s been anyone else’s experience.

        They do exist but are rather rare. In addition to the constraint of having twelve, unique letters, adjacent letters can’t be on the same side of the matrix. It’s more challenging than it seems, but I could be wrong.

        Yes, it’s rare for the game to have one. I don’t know the reason for that because there are loads of possibilities, like AUTOBIOGRAPHIES and UNWORKABILITY. Words that are 12 letters or close to 12 letters don’t have few to no letters that reappear later in the word, so it doesn’t create a conflict with the sides. But even very long words, like THYROPARATHYROIDECTOMY work (e.g., EOH, PIM, YAC, RDT).

        Just last month on the 14th, , the puzzle was: SHB UOT ILA EQN. The official answer was: QUESTIONABLE-ETHOS. However, if the H had been a Y, there’d have been the one-word solution: QUESTIONABLY.

        Anyway, it occasionally happens that there’s a one-word solution, so I always look. It actually should happen more often, but, like I’ve said, I don’t know why it doesn’t.

    I ended up with: Voltage – Epicure. I tried and tried to work with “Vituperative” but no go. Lots of good words to be found today with no match.
