The answers are:
PILFEREDDROUGHT
OA. Yippe- it didn’t take hours!
PILFERED / DROUGHT Same, and agreed!
Preflight Toured
Came quick for me too, and surprised to see it was OA, felt like I just patched it together.
….. I’ll take the W of course! 😄🤣
FEUD—DROPLIGHT
13/2
RIDEOUT—TOPFLIGHT
Positive mental attitude.
☕
Plightful Lorded
PLOUGHED – DRIFT
PLOUGHED – DRIFT for me, too.
Same and quickly, for me anyway.
Droplight-Tuftier was my peculiar find. 😁
FEUD DROPLIGHT
PROUDED/ PORED-DELIGHTFUL
PROUDED/ PORED-DELIGHTFUL
PROUDER-RIGHTFUL
13/2 PLOUGHED-DRIFT
Me too. I literally just typed it in! (This, of course, only happens once in a blue moon.) A relief after yesterday’s debacle. I imagine a lone farmer in the deep snow.
Me too. Ploughed drift – it’s what happens after a big snowfall.
PROUDER RIGHTFUL
So much nobler than the OA.
PROUDER RIGHTFUL
PORED DELIGHTFUL too.
Other finds include: PORTHOLED, LOGPILE, PRIDEFUL and ROUGHOUT.
FIELDTRIP – PLOUGH
Off the the farm to lend a hand . . .
Good one.
Where we shall have PLOUGHED—DRIFT.
☕☕
Same here!
PLOUGHED-DRIFT for me as well, pretty much immediately. I always notice the “ough” when it’s available; nice way to break a losing streak I’d been on for a couple weeks!
Same!
I had PLOUGHED – DRIFT as well but I like Jill’s better 🙂 Really wanted to make OUTFIELDER work, but reluctantly moved on with plenty of coffee still left to consume!
PLOUGHED-DRIFT as well.
I got late start today and not much time to devote to solving so when i found OUTFIELDER ROUGH HOP I was just pleased enough to call that a win
Ploughed – drift. Appropriate for today’s snowfall here in BC.
I am new to this game – is there any reason this is not the winning answer? Same amount of works and less letters.
🤷🏻♀️ Players often beat the OA (Official Answer ) in efficiency, and in my opinion, in TI (Thematic Integrity), but the official answer is official…
I guess throuple is not a word yet 😬
PROUD – DELIGHTFUL : baby’s first steps
TOPFLIGHT – TOURED : sponsored golf tourney
FEUD – DROPLIGHT : drunk spelunk kerplunk
RIGHTFIELD – DROPOUT
Watching the clouds go,
and the dandelions grow,
with your ballglove as a pillow.
If you’ve ever coached T-ball. . .
PLOUGHED – DRIFT 13/2
Thoughts of winter being shoveled away =)
OUTFIGHT-TRIPLED
Finally! I got one first!
Excellent solution Goldie!
Well done.
🙂
For sone peculiar reason, my mind found Droplight – Tuftier 🤔
Dang it Goldie, I thought it was gonna be me today. 😩😵💫🙃
[ OUTFIGHT ~ TRIPLE ] also in less than 10 minutes.
I found “FLIGHTIER” first and tried that for a bit.
Preflight-toured
same
Preflight toured
THROUGHPUT-TRIFLED
I got this too!!!
Yay!!
THROUGHPUT TRIFLED
Enjoyed all the other answer combos!
Ploughed – Drift
Plightful-louder
Uplift Troughed works. Although trough does not show up as a verb in my dictionary.
Cambridge supplies this example:
“The economy troughed six months ago and is now growing again.”
They sadly don’t include this sense I probably didn’t just make up:
“The pasture is troughed so the horses have water to drink.”
HOLDUP – PREFLIGHT. On account of having to check all those oversized carry-on bags.
All that birding equipment. . . 🙂
Good Heavens, no! That stays with me. 😊
Haha! Of course, what was I thinking!?
Shoot preflight! I had prefight but it would not accept and I didn’t even see this.
East Coast Canada has had its share of snow this month … PLOUGHED DRIFT
Found Pilfered first but then veered into FEUD – DROPLIGHT. And yes, always rewarding to find a solution before lunch 😀
BOOM! Now I can get on with the day 🙂
UPFIELD DROUGHT
The rain is draining from the upper plain.
PROUD and DELIGHTFUL…what great feelings!
That’s a great solution 🤗
I’m surprised it wasn’t the OA
👍
TOPFLIGHT – TROUGHED
Prouder
Rightful
proud – delightful
POURED – DELIGHTFUL
Cheers!
PROUD-DELIGHTFUL
Preflight toured
OA
Same here
Pored/delightful
PREFLIGHT – TOUGHED
TI: the plane’s crew was having a particularly difficult time but they got through it!
TOPFLIGHT-TRUED. My local bicycle shop does such quality work.
Proud Delightful – Like me finding this answer!
I guess you can be “refueled” but not “prefueled”! I wanted prefigured to work, but ended up OA.
THOUGHTFUL LIP PRELUDE
Kissing, it’s about kissing.
PLOUGHED-DRIFT for me too
Also, PREFLIGHT TROUGHED
OA – Yay! So many great combos today.
PROUD DELIGHTFUL!
Proud- Delightful
Didn’t even come close to OA
Pored & Delightful work too
POTHOLDER
REFIGURE
Fueled droplight
Many excellent answers today! Feast after yesterday’s Famine. I got a bunch of ‘em – Proud Delightful, Prouder Rightful, Preflight Toured, and Plightful Lorded, f’rinstance – but missed the OA somehow.
Ploughed Drift for the northern hemisphere
Pilfered Drought for the southern hemisphere
THROUGHPUT TRIFLED
PRIDEFUL LOUGH
PLOUGHED DRIFT, suddenly saw it after almost giving up with 3w’s after GOPHERED DUTIFUL wasn’t accepted, I guess Gopher as a verb not allowed.
Ploughed – drift here too. End of day and out if time
FIRELIGHT – TORPITUDE came to me very quickly, but for some reason TORPITUDE wasn’t accepted. It then took a while for me to find another, but I got FEUD – DROPLIGHT in the end.
Preflight-toughed
preflight toured
Preflight-Toured
POTHOLDER-REFIGURED
Pilfered – drought
preflight – tutored, a quick find today

Interesting. “ Plow and plough are both English terms. Plow is predominantly used in 🇺🇸 American (US) English ( en-US ) while plough is predominantly used in 🇬🇧 British English (used in UK/AU/NZ) ( en-GB ).”
Fieldtrip plough
