Same for me.
As long as they don’t stop before they get there…
Happy trials… I mean trails, oops.
I only got CULPRITS. Don’t know what to do with the leftovers D-A-W-N.
Took me until today 1/5, but finally arrived at this answer.
Same!
Same
Same, and it was the longest time I ever spent on an LB.
DARWINISTIC – CULPRIT, the first one however not accepted
I fiddled with Darwin, too. And PURITANICAL, SPARTAN, TARPAULIN.
CULPRITS SUNWARD
APICULTURIST—TAILWIND
🐝🌬️
PISCICULTURIST—TAILWIND

I knew the API prefix but not the PISCI one. The etymology is Latin, as with the zodiacal constellation Pisces. ♓

Thanks (again) for the new words!!! Adding them to my list 🙂
CULPRITS – SUNWARD here as well after much too much fiddling with INWARDS, CRAWDADS, and WINDWARDS. Would have thought DARWINISTIC was an no-no, but alas, I am humbled again 🙂
Same process as SusanM landed me with the same popular solution CULPRIT-SUNWARD
Same here, Susan, found INWARDS first, and CULPRITS felt too efficient to not be part of the solution, but took a big detour through CRAWDADS, CULTURIST, DRAW, PRAWN, etc. before swinging back around and trying SUNWARD. 😎☀️
My best 3 solution
PURITANIC CRAWDADS SLIP
Oa. After crawdads, prawns, scrawls, culturist and sunwards didn’t work out. Apparently, sunwards would have worked after all.
Puncturist was not accepted.
No OA for me. LUNATIC CRAWDADS SPAR made me chuckle though.
TULIP / PISCINA / AWARD
CULT / TULIPS / SUNWARD
CRAP / PUT / TAILWINDS
DRAWN / NARC / CULPRITS
Found Culprits / Sunward
OA. Seems like the least popular outcome today.
OA. It looks like most others found alternatives instead.
I spent quite a while with SPRAWL PRAWN DRAWL DRAWN UNDRAWN, before switching to WIND words! 😃
SCRAWLS SINCIPUT. Watch out for skull graffiti.
Not much time allotted this AM, so a threebie was my best: CURTAILS-SPAWN-NAD (all accepted). Cryptic reference to a surgical procedure?
I got this answer as well.
sunwards – spilitic
