The answers are:
DURABILITYYOKE
OA, Also oaked durability
BOKED / DURABILITY here.
Kilter Redoubtably
TOKED – DURABILITY for me.
Yoked-durability. I wanted doubtability to be accepted. I wanted to be first and get back to sleep. It’s 3:30 in the morning my time.
similar: REDOUBTABLY-YIKE
I wanted doubtability too!
But finally found
DUBITABILITY – YORKED
I got YORKED – DUBITABLE but don’t know what YORKED means other then slang for puking.
KIR-REDOUBTABLY
Nice…efficient, and yummy!
BIKER – REDOUBTABLY
Never heard of ‘KIR’ before. I suppose I should have tried it.
I hadn’t heard of KIR before either, but they were the letters I had left over and it looked “wordy” so I tried it! 😂
Mine too. I’m ready for a Korean royale.
Darn autocorrect.
I’m ready for a kir royale.
Gee, it would have cost us nothing to try. But Biker-Redoubtably for me, too. Maybe it feels dishonest to throw letters together hoping they’ll form a word
No, I throw letters together all the time. Part of the fun—and I believe it’s encouraged by the game’s creator(s).
KIR – REDOUBTABLY here too! I knew for certain it was not the OA and I even wondered if I would be the only one with this solution! 😄 It’s certainly an odd combination but it’s the one I found first!
Obdurately Yike
Same
REDOUBTABLY – YIKE… The fight.
DURABILITY – YOKE… The grudge.
Ha! 😀
KITEBOARD-DULY
Me too.
Me three. Not sure how I got KITEBOARD so quickly, maybe it’s come up here before. Still, my first non-OA 13/2 in ages.
KATYDID-DOUBLER
Katydid Doubler here too. Also known as Summer.
Okayed Durability – see Consumer Reports.
Durability Yoke, but throw in an extra D to get Durability Yoked/Yoked Durability, for the interchangeability. This set evokes wedlock, and oxen.
Also Kir, Redoubtably. The flavor is formidable.
And finally, Redoubtably, Yike! I’m particularly pleased with that one.
Ditto!
katydid-doubler for me, too!
Me too! +1 for us katydiders!
KILO OBDURATELY
YORKED DUBITABLE
today was tasty
YORKED DUBITABLE here also. I really wanted to get something to match with YAKITORI; came close with AUDIBLY (missing E) and DEBATABLY (missing U) and then gave up. I hope someone else can find it.
OA
Doubter Raylike
Same
YARDBIRD-DOUBLETAKE for me.
Not particularly proud, but: YARDBIRD—DOUBLETAKE. Eric who?
Its wonderful😄, Goldie!
Excellent work, Goldie! I abandoned Yardbird too soon!
Love it! 🏡🐦
Oh my, I thought the restaurant made up yardbird
I love this! I didn’t spot YARDBIRD at all (KILO – OBDURATELY). But there are some great birds today!
🐦 AKIKIKI, BATELEUR, BLUEBIRD, BLUETAIL, BOKIKOKIKO, BOUBOU, BULBUL, KAKA, KEA, KIKAU, KITE, KOKAKO, RAIL, RED KITE, TETRAKA, TIT, TODY 🐦🐦 AKEKEE, BABBLER, BELLBIRD, BLUEBILL, BOATBILL, BOOBOOK, DOTTEREL, KOOKABURRA, LORIKEET, ROLLER, ROOK, TATTLER, TRILLER
+
🦅 : Baya (weaver), Bee-Eater, Bird (!), Blue Tit, Dodo
and
🦖 : Terror Bird
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phorusrhacidae
☕☕
Oh yeah, I didn’t look for triples. BEE-EATER should be on the list. BAYA is just an adjective, so that shouldn’t be. The correct name of the Blue Tit is EURASIAN BLUE TIT, and the Dodo, sadly, is no more.
It’s still arguing for TRAILERED and DOUBLEKEY 🤔😁
And here as well. Was unwilling to give up on DOUBLETAKE since it handled so many letters and then gave YARDBIRD a try, remembering an old store in San Rafael of the same name and was happily surprised when it worked. Off to the other games now that the brain is fired up and running!
😄
^ Goldie.
Same
Same here
Anyone get a combination containing…
Troubled, redoubled, audibly?
me too
YARDBIRD – DOUBLETAKE
perhaps when you look twice upon seeing your twin with you in prison?
if the positions of the L and E letters had been switched, then we’d have
YARDBIRD – DOUBLETALK
Excellent job, Goldie, I tried FOREVER to find a match with DOUBLETAKE, and was looking for a ~BIRD, but came up empty-handed (I guess they were both in the bush for me).
OKED DURABILITY
I found this as a second answer. OKED – DURABILITY
What the bike helmet quality assurance inspector did every day
BATIKED*—DOURLY 13/2
DURABILITY—YOKE
YOLKED—DURABILITY
ERUDITELY—YOKEABLE
Studying has a compound effect?
I know it’s a stretch TI-wise, I just like the word “erudite”. 🙂
doubletake – eyelid
with a remaining R
OA
kiteboard-duly
Audibility-Yoker
AUDIBILITY — YOKER
Enjoyed this one!
Instant OA. Happy to rebound after yesterday’s fail!
BOATLIKE ERUDITELY
Same 😀
I came to see if anyone had found this one yet as well! You beat me to it! 😄
Same here!
I got stuck with likeability, and lucked upon a new word in trying to get unstuck…
Traiked – doubly.
Biker²-redoubtably
Duiker Rotatably
Screw NYT for not accepting YULETIDE
That’s a strange omission in accepted words
OA and felt sure it would be. Interesting to discover Yike can be singular. I assumed it’s always plural to make Yikes!
tried – lurked doability first
doability isn’t a word?
Wanted to find matches for TROUBLED, LIBERATED and KARAOKE.
DOUBLETAKE-ERUDITELY
Excellent pairing for DOUBLETAKE as well. 👏
KATYDID DOUBLER Kind of makes sense, ’cause a Katydid does double as a leaf.
OA
TRAIKED DOUBLY
DELIBERATELY YOUR RAKE
AKILTER-RUDEBOY accepted to my surprise!
That’s a unique take! Good work Sarah!
Doubter – Raylike
YORKED DUBITABLE
Yoked Durability !!!
Quite similar to the OA.
Am thrilled!
Redoubtably Yike
OA today.
REDOUBTABLY YIKE
BILKER-REDOUBTABLY
Political description?
Whew….took awhile
Another for Biker & Redoubtably.
TRAIKED – DOUBLY
13/2–good job!
New to the game. Sometimes I get it, sometimes not. This time:
TOKER-DURABILITY
Thought I would share the joy of a joint that lasts.
Oops
TOKED DURABILITY
Newb
REDOUBTABLY YIKE Wasn’t sure if Yike rather than Yikes would be accepted; it was!
Got stuck with obliterated and couldn’t work it out. Just knew it was one of them
Tiltyard Doubletake
Ok read to the end but didn’t see anyone getting a match for OBLITERATED. I really wanted there to be one. But alas… YORKED DUBITABLE.
I got Doublet and Teriyaki quite quickly and was really surprised it wasn’t the OA or guessed by others.
obdurately with yike, yakitori
kiteboarded with doubly, dourly, duly, durability
boatlike with eruditely
I forgot to post this last night…
