Nice!
Thanks. I just found a 14/2:
CELT—THROUGHWAY
I don’t see any 13/2s yet.
☕
Yep:
CELT THROUGHWAY
An Irish turnpike.
I wanted to do
CHALET THROUGHWAY (highway through a castle) but the letter geometry didn’t allow a route for it.
First I had the
WATERCOLOUR ROUGHLY then WATERCOLOR.
Tried to get something with CHORTLE and WHOLECLOTH but I couldn’t.
Same same! celt throughway.. i wanted to use grouchy but couldn’t find anything for it lol
I added a letter to skew it towards football: CLEAT – THROUGHWAY. Along the way, I was surprised that Wholecloth was accepted.
To add more to the “throughway” solutions:
TERCELET—THROUGHWAY
A flyway for falcons?
☕☕
This was mine as well. Irritated I didn’t see watercolor after looking for water- words. Waterhole was not a path to success.
(I got distracted by thoroughly, before breaking through)
OCELOT – THROUGHWAY for me.
It’s a real thing– you can read about them here:

Yes!
Nicely done. I got CUTWATER – ROUGHLY and decided that was my victory for the day.
CLEAT-THROUGHWAY
Celt Throughway
👍
Same.
WROUGHT-TREACLY
a sticky situation
I got WROUGHT TREACLY as well and faster then usual for me. Started with THOUGHT, saw TREACLY, went back for the W.
Recently watched the WONKA movie so I had sweets on the brain I suppose.
Same…
A “making of…” documentary for a Hallmark movie.
😂
WROUGHT TREACLY FOR ME ALSO
Me too
Oh, me too! Saccharine poetry (obvs none here!).
WROUGHT / TREACLY too!
Me too!
WROUGHT TREACLY!!!
And another Wrought Treacly here, which I take as a reference to state of the North End (Boston) after the Great Molasses Flood of January 1919.
Also found the OA and Cutwater Roughly… but I’d have to say Ocelot Throughway (not to be confused with Antelope Freeway) is one of the great answers of all time!
I was jazzed too when I saw it Bernie, but then later when I saw the TERCELET, I began vacillating, as usual, between the two.
I should have also put an asterisk on my tercelet earlier, as it was a PSW, but not an LBW (Letter Boxed Word).
Same!
Cleat- throughway
Oa fairly quickly. Even though I also saw wrought, throughout, tautology, ecology, and greycoat without success. At least I didn’t get stuck on them.
I saw [ CLEAT ~ THROUGHWAY] as soon as I found Throughway. So, I tried to find a more clever word and found “Ocelot”.
Settled on [ OCELOT ~ THROUGHWAY] officially only to discover it was found immediately. 😂
Any pairings with…
Thoroughly, Throughout,
Recaught, Leathery ?
I wondered about a partner for Haughty.
I thought I had one but No:
waterchat—thoroughly (or throughly)
Unaccepted in LB and as a PSW.
A waterchat is a type of bird and I don’t think it’s a proper name.
Oh well.
CUTLET-THROUGHWAY
THROUGHWAY-CLEAT
WREATHE—EUCHOLOGY
I’m not sure what I didn’t spot this one earlier.
TI worthy methinks.
CELT – THROUGHWAY
WROUGHT TREACLY!
Feeling good!
WROUGHT – TREACLY. Sadly WARTHOG – GAUCHELY was unavailable due to the AR being on the same side.
CELT-THROUGHWAY
The Mass Pike for those in the Boston area.
Another CELT – THROUGHWAY, in record time. Started looking for ~WAY words immediately when I saw the W and Y, and THROUGHWAY (and the solve) came quickly after.
