The answers are:
CREWMANNEOLITH
THEMATIC – CROWNAL
I got a little redundant mathematic crownal
same here.
THEMATIC-CROWNAL here as well.
PS
Where are you, RADIOACTIVE FLOWER?
If I had known that Crownal was a word I would have been done with this puzzle in 5 minutes. Instead it was quite a struggle until I arrived at HALITOTIC-CREWMAN. Certainly not a construction site that I’d want to be around.
Same. First attempt was WEATHERWOMAN which wasn’t allowed. I’m sure it would have accepted WEATHERMAN…
ITALIC-CHARWOMEN. someone else will have to see a theme in this….🙄
She’s a lean (on a lean) mean cleaning machine!
They often have to slant to clean the room.
🤗 Franzee and Tom got it 👏
Could they possibly be from Italy, Italian notwithstanding?
PS
Where are you, RADIOACTIVE FLOWER?
I had CHARWOMEN – NITAL, but I wasn’t aware of either word before today.
Couldn’t make ORNAMENTAL, TOWLINE, HATCHMENT, REMATCH or TWITCHIER work.
Merchant – towline
WHEREWITHAL LOCOMAN
Good one – i found Wherewithal, saw Locoman, but thought nawww. Ended up with INCREMENTAL LOWTH
INCREMENTAL LOWTH as well. LOWTH was a random guess though.
Hey DHW – i had never, ever, heard the word “Lowth” before, so i looked it up … i guess i was thinking “Lowth” is an archaic form of “Loathe”, but apparently not.
Interesting that Wiktionary and several other websites have a quote from a guy named Thomas Becon … here’s a Japanese website that includes Becon’s quote:
https://ejje.weblio.jp/content/lowth
😎
Same!
Determined train employees
Indeed, PG – see below.
As for me, the OA Crewman Neolith (wanted to start with Neolithic for TI and interchangeability, but LB rejected it for some reason). Also Lotic / Lithic / Italic Charwomen, and Charwoman / Charwomen Neolith (again, wanted to start with Neolithic but was rebuffed), because the femmes have been cleaning up in every time and place ever since what my little nephew calls Ooga-Booga Days.
And yes, Wherewithal Locoman/ Locomen, because Wherewithal is too good to pass up even if the TI link to Casey Jones is obscure.
And finally, Lice Earthwoman / Earthwomen, which is just repulsive!
Same here. Couldn’t believe Locoman…
Same!
THEMATIC – CROWNAL.
Merchant Towline. Not a lot of effort went into this one. Can you tell?
More effort goes into fighting the garbage connection.
MERCHANT – TOWLINE for me too.
Not nearly as interesting as the many fun solutions today.
Ditto.
Ditto-ditto
Same
First ITALIC – CHARWOMEN (bent over from too much work, I guess), then WHILOM – MERCHANT (probably driven out of business by Walmart).
Yay! as of the 9th post, about 10:37am blog time, none of us have used either of the OA words!
But I’m getting dangerously close:
OTHERWHEN NEOLITHICMAN
but LB rejects both words
OTHERWHENCE EOLITHICMAN
LB still rejected both, But:
OTHERWHERE LB likes!
but seems from the literature that “Eolithic Man” (and “Neolithic Man” must be written as two words.
That left me looking for a repair, so naturally i went to:
MECHANIC CORALWORT
but LB doesn’t like “Coralwort” even though he’s in all the finest dictionaries.
After a detour with
OTHERWHITHER (LB likes 👍)
REALINCOME (LB laughs 👎) or RECLAMATION (can’t do that very last letter N) I went through NARWHAL back to:
CORALWORT THEOMANIA
Again, LB doesn’t like either of them, but they are seen running around in all the finest dictionaries.
😎
RECLINE – EARTHWOMAN
Command from an alien abductor, perhaps?
😂 LOL, RBH
🙂
Me too.
RECLINE – EARTHWOMAN
I believe it’s a quote from Ming the Merciless.
I got Malice – Earthwoman
CLINE / EARTHWOMAN here.
😀
CLICHÉ EARTHWOMEN
These are all better than my disgusting Lice Earthwomen in every way except length.
I went with CHAINMAIL-LOWER and made a conscience decision that all three of us agree on…forget about the T today. We’ll work out in tomorrow.
It not out.
I went there too! No T for two!
CHALICE-EARTHWOMAN
I struggled to get
ITALIC-CHARWOMEN
but I’m done for the day!
Lice/Earthwomen
Chromatin Newline
THEOREMATIC-CLOWN
Same!
RHEMATIC—CLOWN 13/2
NEOLITHIC℗—CHARWOMAN
CHARWOMAN—NEOLITHIC℗
WILIWILI°—IATROMATHEMATICIAN° 26/2
°OED, ℗Proper name
Big LB day! 🙂
26/2! 👍
Mark – you inspired me!
MATHEMATICIAN
NAILWORT
And Both words accepted by LB – but not Coralwort!
How unfair!
😎
Awesome, McBee!
I just checked for some other WORTS that LB approves of:
EARWORT
THROATWORT
and some that it does not:
TORCHWORT
LATHERWORT (in Webster, not OED)
☕
😎
i wonder how many -worts there are?
Nice one!
I had seen MATHEMATICIAN, but I am unfamiliair with any of the -WORT plants (even though one was included in a recent solve maybe a month back).
😎
me too!
Mathematicians practicing medicine — um, no! 🙂
SHRINKING
(a modified haiku)
(whether)
neolithic crewman
or italic charwomen:
incremental lowth.
Thank you, Jill Dahling! How nice to see you here!
Chemtrail lown
chemtrail – lown as well, after being unable to pair wherewithal.
Congrats to all who found a match!
MENARCHIAL – LOWT
Hormonal references, haha
MERCHANT — TOWLINE
Played with TWITCHIER, MATHEMATICIAN, WEATHERWORN, and NECROMANTIC (:)) but couldn’t pair them with anything.
Merchant and Towline as well.
I played with Chromatic and Wraith but to no success
Manlot – Twitchier
INCREMENTAL-LOWTH. never knew lowth was a word, tried it in a whim, but here we are.
CREWMAN – NEOLITH
Tried to finish with Neolithic which was not accepted. Happy to be able to substitute Neolith and surprised to find the oa
I had two. CHROMATIC NEWLINE and MATHEMATIC CROWNAL. I see someone had a shorter version of the latter above. They used to let you send in multiple answers, but no longer. At least not for me.
Sorry typo. I meant CHROMATIN NEWLINE.
But italic charwomen does work
My HENCHWOMAN (who resides happily in the OED) is annoyed at being excluded.
WOTCHER-RAILMAN
had no idea what the first word even is!
CHROMATIN NEWLINE
I was happy with charwoman, neolith and I am done for today.
