ANYWHENCE—EARTHBOARD
Very nice! for ANYWHENCE-EARTHBOARD
Thanks, I was a little shocked when EARTHBOUND worked, and I was rooting for ANYWHENCE, which just seemed like a word with some history. ☕
*earthboard
Without a U, I’d be shocked if EARTHBOUND worked too. I hate that there’s no editing after posting.
WEATHERBOARD / DANCY
WEATHERBOARD DANCY
But it took me far too long today.
Weatherboard Decadency
OA Hydrocarbon Newt here. Fossils of the last become the first.
WEATHERBOARD DANCY.
surprised that dancy was accepted.
Me too.
Also found:
WEATHERBOARD(ED)—DECADENCY°
WEATHERBOARD – DANCY
WEATHERBOARD – DECENCY
Same here, after a long struggle!
WEATHERBOARD-DANCEY also accepted 💃🏻🕺
weatherboard – dancy as well
Equally surprised dancy was accepted.
OA, instantaneously.
OA after not being able to use Carbohydrate. Just flipped it around.
Wow. This was a struggle. But not for lack of possibilities. I’ve never found more words before finally finding a pair, in this case the OA. There were all kinds of anatomical possibilities, with Eyebrow, Head, Heart, Hand, Bone, Body, and Breathe. Even found Dodecahedron and couldn’t finish it. Here’s my full list of anyone cares. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/dakqbwfwhyw3qd5r7a4xg/2025-02-07-18.07.16.jpg?rlkey=jxvv88q2jsrilawpcv830esmv&st=my1xd8ny&dl=0
I care!
WEATHERBOARD-DECENARY
HYDROCARBON-NOWTHER
Oa
I had a powerful sense of déjà vu, and, lo! and behold, the OA on Oct. 9, 2023, was HYDROCARBON-NIFTY.
WEATHERBOARD-DECENCY for me. A bit long-winded.
WEATHERBOARD – DECENCY
another WEAtHERBOARD – DECENCY here. Tried CONTRADANCE, ROADWORTHY, CARDBOARD, EARTHBOARD (new word for me!), HYDRANT (and disappointed DEHYDRANT wasn’t accepted). Kicking myself not to have seen HYDROCARBON because I had HYDRO… But I still have 1/4 cup of coffee left so life is good!
After a bunch of near-miss combinations, Weatherboard-Decency. A siding coverup.
HYDROCARBON — NEWT Once I saw HYDROCARBON, NEWT was right there.
WEATHERBOARD — DANCY
Found BOARD, WEATHER, then WEATHERBOARD. DANCY was a guess!
I thought CARBOHYDRATE was going to work until it didn’t! 🙁
Same. OA
OA. I tried to make CARBOHYDRATE work too but alas
ANTHRACENE – EYEBROWED
nice!
good one!
ROWBOAT THRENODY:
ONCE-A-ROWBOAT-HAD-A-DRY-DEATH.
(ANYONE-CAN-TRY-THE-CROWDED-BODY)
Ok, I’ll stop now. That’s enough procrastination.
OA, btw.
Weatherboard dancy
Me too. I didn’t think they would accept either word but they did!
BEYONCE* EARTHWARD
nice!
I also came up with BEACONER* ROADWORTHY
Beaconer is a word that appears in older books and municipal records.
That was mine too! I kept trying to find an allowed match with ROADWORTHY but no luck.
OA here— sounds like the makings of a Monty Python skit…
Burn her! She’s a witch! She turned me into a newt!
I got better…
WEATHERBOARD – DECENCY (took me a while)
OA
HYROCARBON NEWT
OOPS…
OA
HYDROCARBON NEWT
BACONER* – ROADWORTHY
COWBOYED – DEHYDRANT* (can’t believe LB would take hydrant but not dehydrant…)
Could not get OA today
OA after struggling with COWBOYED and DEATHWORTHY and EYEBROWED for far too long.
Optimal 3, COWHAND – DEBT – TRY (14)
Eyebrowed-danceathon (some dictionaries accept that spelling even if LB doesn’t)
