    1. Same here. Napalm seemed promising, napalmier was rejected but led me to palmier, then I saw count and was just about to move on when I realized it can have re- as a suffix.

      1. I didn’t know what a luce is, but now it’s a new addition to my expanding LB fish vocabulary! I like both answers for theme.

    1. YES! I couldn’t solve this one while I was at the computer, but thought of PATRIMONIAL when I was driving around later. (CEREMONIAL was a dud) Didn’t have time that day to return to the Puzzle to see if it would fit, but finally got around to it today. Sure enough! Good to see someone else got the same one, too—so there’s no chance of anything falling short of LB’s wordlist.

  1. CALIPER – REMOUNT

    Literally the first word I saw was CALIPER, which left me with MOUNT, and it wasn’t difficult to join them up. Maybe the first day I’ve not had to touch the Delete button.

  2. 4 ACES

    RUNT—TOM—MILPA—ACE
    LTR—RUN—NIP—POMACE

    TURN—NOM—MILPA—ACE
    PLOT—TURN—NIM—MACE

    MOLT—TURN—NIPA—ACE
    MOT—TURN—NIP—PLACE

    PRIM—MOLT—TUNA—ACE
    MOLT—TURN—NIP—PACE

  3. My first solution was PALMIER – RECOUNT, which I suspect is about as efficient as this puzzle is going to yield, but by far my favourite solution, as someone who spends a good deal of time researching and writing about South China Sea disputes, is COUNTERCLAIM – MAP. Breathtaking TI!

  4. Today I got really frustrated with Wordle, because they picked a comparative (riper) as a solution, which is pretty unusual and maybe even a tad unfair. Same with Spelling Bee, which accepted “pityingly” as a pangram, but “typingly” was not valid. Happy to have been compensated in Letter Boxed finding the twoworder MANIAC-COUNTERPLOT.

      1. Yeah, you always need to watch out for them! I, generally, get Wordle out of the way within one or two minutes from its release (which is midnight in Athens), plus I’m not into Spelling Bee, so I’ve come out unscathed…

  5. I went to COPOUT – TERMINAL as well – was hoping to come up with something thematic. This looked harder than it seemed at first, but was really fun to have a slew of words with which to work rather than the constrained boxes of late!

  6. PALMIER – RECOUNT 14/2, which sort of has a life of its own thematically -as does its anagram CALIPER – REMOUNT. Also spotted the official answer (with both MOP & MAP), along with various other COUNTER-s (COUNTERTOP, COUNTERPLOT etc.), TOUR, TURN, CULMINATE, PRECALCULATE, MATERNAL, and PATERNAL. Almost anything seems to be working in this one but, still, I couldn’t find a 13/2.

  7. Think I might be the only person with this answer: COLOURMAN NIPET.
    I don’t think NIPET is even a word in English so I’m not sure why it was accepted. It was the first random attempt at a partner for COLOURMAN and it happened to be valid. COLOURMAN was also a guess as I don’t think I’ve ever heard of one before. Very flukey 14/2 today.

  8. Stopping by Field on a Snowy Morning
    (respect to Robert Frost)

    Setting: On my way to the breakfast shop this morning, I cut through a field, next to the hospital, with freshly falling snow. I thought back on my high school book report on Frost’s poem.

    Whose field this is I think I know.
    It’s part of the hospital though;
    They will not see me stopping here
    To watch their field fill up with snow.

    My heated gloves are oh so dear
    As I now have frostbite fear
    Between the field and frozen lake
    The coldest morning of the year.

    Push on towards where the bagels bake
    I am hungry, for heaven’s sake!
    The only other sound’s the sweep
    Of easy wind and downy flake.

    The field is lovely, light and deep,
    But I have promises to keep,
    And miles to go before I sleep,
    And miles to go before I sleep.
