Same, but took a few minutes… And felt kind of guilty to use it. Surprised that OVERTHINKER isn’t recognized, and not just on LB…
Wait, so Overthinker, an actual word, isn’t accepted, but Overthinked, which is most definitely not a word is accepted? No rhyme or reason. Now, did I use overthinked as part of my answer? Yes I did. Overthinked-Daunt. Brain not in any shape to work any harder than necessary after the thrilling victory by the US Hockey team. 51/53, 22/22, 25
OA today. Clearly I underthinked OVERTHINKED. I was disappointed OVERTHINKER was not accepted.
Yes, that made me cross, but I still used it!
Me too with OVERTHINKED – DAUNT. Me too …
OverthinkED is a word, but OverthinkER is NOT? Spellcheck doesn’t like either one. Okay, now I’ve OVERTHUNK this. 🤔🙄
Much as I hated it, because it feels wrong to say overthinked,
OVERTHINKED – DAUNT.
Well done, Kanishk!
I got that too, although OVERTHINKED isn’t in Webster’s. Oh, well.
Overthinked – daunt
Same. Didn’t think overthinked would work.
OA fast
How fast????????? Mach speed?! No wait light speed????? How fast Marc?
Ah, but auto/overthinked worked quite nicely.
Overthinked — Daunt
UNTHANKED – DEVOIR

I just got suckered into clicking on a thing about Martha Stewart. It said that before she gets out of bed every morning she does the New York Tomes’ online games, including the crossword puzzle, Wordle and Letter Boxed.
Oops, Times…
