QUORUMSSWIVELED
OVERWORLDS – SQUIRM
Same
Sound apocalyptically authoritarian
overworlds – squirm as well
Overworlds — Squirm, too
WOLVES SQUIRMED
In less than 10 minutes.
Ditto
Wolves Squirmed as well.
Had Quorums and Sviveled but not together. Never mind, I like wolves. Just not near me.
OA in under 5 minutes. Unusual for me. Tried quiver, quivered, quivers first until changing to quorum quorums. Swivel came easily then.
Same here…
OA pretty quickly
Same. OA after trying QUIVERS (ED)
Exactly!
QUORUMS / SWIVELED in about 15 seconds. Just jumped out!
Yeah
Same..and same time too!
Ha! WOLVES-SQUIRMED for me too when I also quickly dominated a puzzle that at first seemed intimidating!
Short dalliance with REQUIEM(S) that got nowhere.
Me too
WOLVES SQUIRMED
Same
WOLVES – SQUIRMED
In under a minute for second day in a row. If there were money involved, I’d quit while I’m ahead.
Same – BOOM!
Same, also quickly
Same – UK spelling of swivelled has 2 Ls !
Same Immediately tried SQUIRMED and then saw WOLVES fitted. Literally submitted my answer in less than 20 seconds. Might be a record for me.
Same in about 2 minutes. Started with SQUIRED and then saw that WOLVES would leave me with an unused M and it didn’t take long to figure out what to do with it.
Same
OA
OLDWIVES°—SQUIRM
QUIVERED—DEMIWORLDS°
°OED:
old wives, n. An old woman. In later use a person who tells old wives’ tales. Now usually derogatory.
Webster: demiworld n. Synonyms: abyss, netherworld,..
I had QUIVERED/S and DEMIsomething so I appreciate the find(s)!
DEMIMOORE?
I see what you did there, Peter! And I like it!
Mine was similar:
OLDWIVES° SQUIRMIER
mainly because i did “Squirmier” first and then i picked out the easiest word i could to match – “oldwives”.
i didn’t go back and see how i could be more efficient … just two tired!
Blessings! 😎
OA.
OA for me as well.
SQUIRMED DEVOLVE immediately. First time finding a solution in one try.
No W…
haha. no wonder it was so easy. missed the W.
I got that too but I think the W is missing?
Nothing new here: Wolves Squirmed in the presence of Mowgli; Quorums Swiveled after a swing election; and Overworlds Squirm when their molten cores bubble.
👍 Bernie, the TI King
Nay, kind sir, that distinction goes to MVUA!
Hey, thanks Bernie! That’s too kind!
Love it Bernie!
OA hear fairly quickly – three sips into the coffee.
WOLVES — SQUIRMED
Couldn’t do anything with QUIVERED or VOLUME
wolves-squirmed.
OA.
OA quickly for a nice change, after first two 4w guesses with Quiver/s, had already also seen Swivel. Next guess was the OA; hooray!
Yeah for a puzzle with Q this was relatively easy.
QUORUMS – SWIVELED: What’s happening in the democratic party today.
And my answer, WOLVES – SQUIRMED: What’s happening in the republican party today in response. 😉
I got both these pairs today and sadly above sentiments are so true!!

Again, Davel thank you for these reports from the front lines. What a great addition they have been to this site!
requiems swiveled duo
They swiveled into a duo of requiems.
Or the duo swiveled into a requiem.
The duo developed a new swivel called “The Requiem”
A more efficient answer than the OA
WOLVES, SQUIRMED
