I hit on CLOMPIER RANTY right out of the box, as one might say. I believe he’s mentioned in Bleak House… Utterly lacking in thematic content, but at 13/2 it’s efficient, at least, and took far less time than writing this.
Clompier Ranty is also a distant cousin of the great Bicker Runflat…
From the time of carefree and barefoot summer days shared in their youth Clompier always admired Bickers god given physical prowess and easy going charm. Indeed he is one of but a handful of friends and relatives still standing in Bickers corner.
Thank you, Bobby!
per romanticly
romanticly iffy but letterboxed is generous today.
Mine was PROCLAIMER – RANTY.
I’ve known a few. 😝
Competent – temporarily
CLEMENT- TEMPORARILY
inefficient, unthematic, but I can get back to my life. Jo, I do set a time limit…..but do I stick to it….
The calm before the storm.
The homicidal maniac, medicated for trial.
That goes with Jo’s Competent Temporarily…
Do people set themselves a time limit?
It takes as long as it takes!!! I keep coming back to it until I get it
Thanks Gill. I used to do this but set an undefined time limit now!
I started this year out with a 5-minute timer (with one reset allowed…so, 10 minutes!).
I was noticing that the longer I spent, the more my brain would go into an obsessive pattern of dialing through possibilities…even after I had finished the puzzle. 🫤It didn’t feel healthy or fun, so I also went back to the free version where once I put the answer in now, no matter how many words I have I my solution, I’m done.
Also, my closets are cleaned out and I’m reading more.
Think 10 mins is a good one. Agree feels better with shorter amount of time spent. Grateful the answers are posted here tho!
I do it until I become frustrated and am usually satisfied with doing it in three. I stop when it isn’t fun anymore.
I’m now going for getting it in two only, spending around 10 -15 mins and if can’t get answer checking on here, to clear my mind of it!
Jo i totally sympathize i can be a bit obsessive. I spend around 10 min initially then put away until later in day then try again. If i get frustrated i then come here and sometimes just look at first letter in answer and see if that sparks anything Then i will just look through the brilliant people here and surprisingly sometimes go back and see something they have missed and then it becomes more fun to just play around with
compartmental limey, nice ring to it
Good one! I had to opt for the shorter compartment.
Compartmental laity. Here. Sorry to see compartmentality not a word
PERPETRATOR/ROMANTICLY 21/2
Yikes!
PER – ROMANTICLY worked!
PRELATIC COMPANY, adding to the Yikes!
PROCLAIMANT – TYPE 15/2 was the first one I stumbled upon & I stuck to it (after sniffing around for a one-word solution).
Romantic / corporately
A lot of letters but gets the job done
Mantic first drops two letters.
PER ROMANTICLY
Same here
With so many possible solutions on offer, I’m wondering what the odds are for two or more puzzlers to come up with the same one. I can’t see a lot of ‘same here’s & ‘ditto’s coming in today. 😉
I found LARI – IMPOTENCY 13/2. Disclaimer: I don’t know that it holds true for the Georgian economy.
PERCOLATE ENMITY
Nice! “Ill feelings bubbled beneath the surface. . .”
Favorite!
I found an unlikely pairing: PARALYTIC – COMPETENT
Fantastic!
MICROPYLE ENTRAP
CLEMENT- TEMPORARILY
inefficient, unthematic, but I can get back to my life. Jo, I do set a time limit…..but do I stick to it….
I got the same
my combo… LEI IMPORTANCY
Here’s yet another:
LYCOPENE – EMIRATE
Mine, too.
COMPARTMENTAL – LAITY As opposed to groups of clergy, I suppose.
Same here
clement temporarily for me too
So proud of myself today – COP – PARLIAMENTARY
But….. couldn’t post it correctly – COP – PARLIAMENTARILY
METROPOLITANCY
14/1
but unaccepted in game!
🙄
Therefore:
METROPOLITANCY—YAM
YAM—METROPOLITANCY
⇄
😊
just kidding
METROPOLITAN — NANCY
(Didn’t even know NANCY was an accepted word.)
Wow, good one! I’ve found that if the word is only a proper noun it’s usually unaccepted.
Nancy is an offensive term for a gay man, and also, I think, for a female prostitute. Either way I’m surprised it was accepted.
Compare Entirely
Compartment-timely. Wasted a minute on compartmental. Didn’t see limey.
Or laity.
Same here. At least a quick solve today.
Compare Entirely. So many good words -e.g., Emancipate, Corporate or Corporately – kept getting 2 word answers missing one letter – got it pretty quickly. Expected other answers would emerge and I see there are indeed some nice ones here.
Two quick solutions today: IMPORTANT – TRICYCLE and PIMLICO – ORNATELY. The second, of course, is missing a verb. 😉
important tricycle
New favorite solution for today
I agree!
Lei-importancy
Romanticaly….yep
Telemetric Company
Proprietor romanticly
CLIENT – TEMPORALITY
Emancipator – rely
COMPARTMENT – TRIMLY
Didn’t even see TIMELY, which would have been more TRIMLY, but I jumped at a solution after struggling with yesterday’s. Odd how the brain does or doesn’t work sometimes! I’m still blaming everything on Covid fog….. At least the coffee cup still has a couple of sips left 🙂
Same.
cornet – temporarily
CORNET-TEMPORALITY
CLIMATE—ENTROPY
“Global warming?”
MICROCLIMATE—ENTROPY also accepted.
CLIMATE – ENTROPY for me too.
Climate-Entropy here as well. I thought a subtle message from NYT.
COMPARTMENTAL/ LILY
IMPORTANT TRICYCLE
COMPARTMENTAL-LIMEY well-organized, fruity flavors 🗃️🍋
EMANCIPATOR – ROYAL Had Prince Harry on my mind!
This one goes out to Abe Lincoln: EMANCIPATOR – ROYAL
Borrowing from the official, and a shoutout to the software folks:
(MICRO)ANALYTIC—COMPILER
🧮💻
Tons of options today!
Will check back in later to see some new ones.
Have good day all. 🙂
I took the long way around the barn, but I got there
participant,temporarily
POLENTA—AROMATICITY
At least there’s a theme!
COMPARE and ENTIRELY. But the time limit idea is valid. Life is too short.
Proclaim – mentality
