    1. 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! 😄🤣

        1. 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.

      1. 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!

    1. 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!

      1. 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

      1. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Players often beat the OA (Official Answer ) in efficiency, and in my opinion, in TI (Thematic Integrity), but the official answer is official…

  1. PROUD – DELIGHTFUL : baby’s first steps
    TOPFLIGHT – TOURED : sponsored golf tourney
    FEUD – DROPLIGHT : drunk spelunk kerplunk

    1. 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.

    1. 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.”

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Here is the full list including Scrabble words:
