OA too, and it looks like there won’t be much variation today.
Suspected Singular Solution

for pairs anyway.
Yep. And in mere seconds. Easy one today.
Hey Steph-this is too weird. I am now going to change my name to StephOriginal. Radio, StephOriginal is the one who solves your puzzles so well….NOT😄
OA, and not seeing any other option.
Junks
Showgirl
another OA from what initially looked like a challenging array, but turned out to be a quick solve
Gotcha, Stephie! 👍
Very rarely get OA, but happily, today is an exception.
Same OA

Wow! ❤️
OA.
I was just staring at the letterboxed for 4 minutes before putting in my first word. I’m kinda reluctant to solve it. Very restrictive array.
I don’t know how in the world I came up with SHOWGIRL. JUNKS is obvious from the leftovers.
Similar for me. I knew the “I” had to go with the “R” due to the layout, then got “girl”, found “showgirl” and then “junks” was obvious.

I used a shotgun approach. Maybe I hit it. Maybe I missed. 🙂

Hi RrrF
It wouldn’t be a fiesta without a PIÑATA.
😊🤗
OA and fairly quickly too! Off to hike Mweelrea in Ireland today! Hope the knees hold up 😎
Summit, Susan!
⛰️
Hey Susan – i looked up Mweelrea on the map – that looks like will be an awesome view south and west and east at the Killary Fjord – can you also see the ocean from there? Either way, blessings for a wonderful hike!
😎
OA today quite quickly
OA Junks Showgirl – if she can’t keep up with the choreography, she’s gotta go. Hijinks was tempting but went nowhere. I too suspect it’s a one-off today. It seems they often follow wide-open arrays like yesterday’s.
😄 Good theme!
🙏
OA too with an observation on LB high jinks.
HIJINKS is widely accepted, but curiously not by OED. An example of LB adding to the OED word list?
HIGHJINKS, a closed compound, doesn’t appear in OED, PSW or anywhere that I can see. It is, however, accepted by LB. An example of LB adding to the English language?!?
Re: HIJINKS
Oddly enough, it’s in MW:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hijinks
Hijinks is in most dictionaries, but not in OED, Mark. What I don’t see anywhere is Highjinks and yet LB accepted it.
Same for me,
but just took me longer.
😎
Bingo! OA after playing around with JOWLS, SWIRL, WHIRL….
OA after trying HIJINKS and UNKNOWNS. LB did not take LOINSKIN (it may be two separate words).
OA today
It took me about an hour to get
JUNKS-SHOWGIRL
Me too!!
junks – showgirl
3 worder
JOWL / LUGS / SHRINK
Fun triple!
OA after a minor struggle. As mentioned above, the R was the key piece to the puzzle as opposed to the J or even the G with no ING combo possible.
OA. My Spidey senses were tingling for HIJINKS, but the leftovers were a mess. SHRINK also seemed promising, but I fortunately GLOWJUGS aren’t a thing. Hit on JUNK first, then saw SHOW in the leftovers, and that got me to OA.
Lush – Highjinks – Showgirl. Not very economical, I know
It’s a symmetric triple!
Lush – Highjinks – Showgirl
Showgirl – Lush – Highjinks
Highjinks – Showgirl – Lush
👍
There was 1 solution today. No scrabble words.
1 – 13 junks / showgirl
Took quite a while, but happy to finally get OA (after I bombed at yesterday’s puzzle). Spent some time trying to make HIJINKS work!
