WHITEFISHHANDBAG
Handbags Swiftie
same
swag from a concert?
Same
Same! Handbags – Swiftie
Same! Surprised that SWIFTIE is accepted as a word. Though apparently Oxford recently added it, and it’s an Australian/New Zealand slang for a trick or quick thinker.
Before Taylor, a “swiftie” was someone who was really fast at completing tasks, competitions, etc.
WHITEFISH HANDBAG(S).
Same.
Too easy today 😕
Saw Whitefish pretty early, but missed Handbag until I came back to it later. Thought Sweatband or Headband would get me home, but no such luck. The OA does have potential for an olfactory disaster, even if the Whitefish is from Zabar’s.
😂
Same.

Like you, trying words that begin with SWIFT. Swifted not accepted. Didn’t even consider trying swiftie until much later.
My daughter has a Swiftie Handbag from the 1989 tour.
Wow! I got
Stagehands-swift-tab
Something to do with Taylor 🤷🏼♀️
I got that too, and I can’t believe the game accepted it. But I’ll take it!

HANDBAGS-SWIFTED*
*SWIFTED good in OED
*BHAGS-SWIFTENED*
*BHAGS good in Wiktionary
*SWIFTENED good in Wiktionary
Always looked like it would be a compound words day. On the way I enjoyed the image of a “wet fish bandage”.
OA today
OA
OA I was surprised it was the OA! I’ll bet someone will have a solution with less letters.

Memories of Carnegie Deli and their great smoked whitefish platters. 🙂
Lots of fish today: BANDFISH, BAITFISH, SHEATFISH, SANDFISH, etc. I also found WHITEHEAD but couldn’t connect it.
I used to eat at Carnegie Deli often. The chopped liver and roast beef sandwich was big enough to feed a family. 🙂
Handbags – Swiftie
My Eras Tour tote comes to mind!
OA pretty quickly this morning.
Handbags swiftie light fingered street urchin
OA 😉
Handbags – Swiftie

Handbag – Swiftie
I didn’t expect to see so many swifties answers.
Hags Sweatbands Sift
First there was RUGELACH, now there’s WHITEFISH. How long before SCHMEAR or LOX makes an appearance?
Where to begin? Kishka, knishes, kugel, latkes, smoked sturgeon, matzo balls,knockwurst, tongue, and on and on… I bet you could make up a matrix of foods from just about any culture. Maybe give a hint of the day like the Strands game.
January 20, 2025: JUDGMENTAL – LOX
You either love it or hate it!
OA easily. Not PETA friendly.
Eeeew. 😂
I’ve come to learn that when solving LB, if you see FISH, start fishing for all the kinds of fish it can be. Not that that makes it easy. If it did, I wouldn’t have first spent several minutes toying with BAITFISH, BANDFISH, HANDFISH, HAGFISH, no BAGFISH or HANDBAGFISH, but BATFISH (amusing discovery of BATSHIT, not that LB would take it), SANDFISH, SHEATFISH, etc., etc. Still, it was worthwhile since my schooling all those fish ended up schooling me that I needed to find a fish with W in the name, et voila!
OA
TI: Sardine Girl Summer! 😎
Played with SWEATBANDS, HEADBANDS, lots of -FISH words, etc. Somehow missed the head-slapper WHITEFISH, but did have HANDBAGS SWIFTED, which LB wouldn’t take, and saw SWIFTIE, but didn’t even bother to type it in. I’m counting it as a win, though… I got my own system of scoring here, and it can be pretty flexible…
Oh, and also had WHITISH in the mix, but still didn’t make the link.
WENDS-SHIFTED-DBAG… it’s crazy to me that some of y’all get it in two! Felt proud I got it in 3.
OA for me, while sitting on a train with a bag full of sushi!
HANDBAGS / SWIFTIE
Same. Handbags swiftie
I so wanted WIDGETS to be part of the answer.
