FRUMP-PLACEHOLDER after a brief flirtation with FACEPALM and HEADLAMP. Then thought I’d try FRUMP, since it seems like a Sam word, and saw PLACEHOLDER. About 10 minutes.
Kanishk, we’ve missed you, hope you’re ok (or away on holiday!) and RF, best of luck today – hope to see you both soon with your solutions.
Good luck, everyone, and happy Monday!
Failed!
Saw FRUMP but couldn’t progress from there.
Amazing job Miss Irim. Kanishk-boy, we’ve missed you! Hope you’ll be back today!
Irim and RF, thank you both for checking up on me while I’m away! This past week has been really hectic, with assignments ranging from trigonometry to thermodynamics – I haven’t posted in two days, and I’ll try not to make this a habit! So glad to see you both – yes, all is well here. Hope both of you are doing fine too?
FRUMP – PLACEHOLDER (OA) here – well done, Irim, great minds! Condolences, RF – also, my solution for yesterday’s puzzle was WHATSOEVER – RIGID (so close to OA!) and I believe I failed on the puzzle the day before (JIGSAW-?)
Have a great day (or evening) everyone! Let’s get back on track tomorrow.
My mistake, day before yesterday’s puzzle was KIDNAP – PACHYDERM – I knew KIDNAP had to be one of the words, but couldn’t see PACHYDERM for the life of me – because I’d never heard about it before.
Played with HANDMAKE, DIRHAM, PANICK(ED/Y), KEYCHAIN, DYNAMIC and MANKIND among several. And also frustrated that words like MINDMAP and HYPERMANIA weren’t accepted (though I doubt whether they are real words myself!)
Mudflap placeholder
OA first guess.
Had MUDFLAP early on, couldn’t see a linkup, but did end up with PLACEHOLDER and FRUMP. Still didn’t see the MUDFLAP connection until I got on here.
Frump placeholder. Mudflap placeholder
OA TODAY!
I was quite sure I needed to find a great compound word and quickly saw Placeholder which fit so nicely with Frump.
OA Pretty quick.
FLOURED-DECAMP
MY MISTAKE. I DID NOT SEE THE “H”. APOLOGIES.
