looking for more now..
Now that is cool & unusual – FAIRGROUND-DIVOTS here. Going to have to look up DUFTAR.
It was the only 13/2 I could find so far. Maybe there’s more?
*slaps forehead* – yes, of course I know it, but as daftar – a register; I remember seeing those in cloth.
Hey, Kanishk, a Hindi (well, borrowed from Arabic tbf) word.
(Also, it’s very similar for the word that means ‘the office/place of employment’)

FUNDI INVIGORATORS
FAIRGROUND-DIVOTS Also
When the circus leaves town—
(Yes, I miss that very clever contributor)
The women were FORGIVING—GRANDAUNTS, not FUNGIVOROUS—SADISTS. They went to the FAIRGROUND—DIVOTS, with the FONDANTS—SURVIVING. They were looking for the GIFTAIDING—GUVNORS, who were the real INDIVIDUATORS—SIGNIFIANT.
Nice LB array. ☕☕
NIDIFUGOUS / STARVING
Like the TI.
FAIRGROUND-DIVOTS here immediately. I saw FAIRGROUND and my brain went ‘DIVOTS is a word’ before I remembered that I knew it was a word, which was an odd feeling! Divot is a small chunk of grass, usually a golf term.
Kanishk and RF, my lovelies, looking forward to seeing you here and your solutions.
Good luck, everyone, and happy Tuesday!
FONDANTS – SURVIVING here.
Well done Miss Irim. 👍
Waiting for Kanishk-boy for his solution. 🤗
Fondants — Surviving, too
Fundi-Invigorators. Vigorous was one of the first things I saw. Was a long journey throughout the day getting from there to invigorators. But happy to have reached the destination!

Fairground & Divots
Usually the term Fairground is pluralized to Fairgrounds because most small town fairs have a number of areas. For example: a midway, agricultural buildings and show jumping area plus many fast-food venues.
You are right Catherine, got a lifetime of experience with the Neshoba County Fair.
FAIRGROUND DIVOTS
FAUVISTS STROUDING*
*OED, Chambers Dict 1998, material for a stroud, a coarse woolen blanket.
Surprised LB wouldn’t accept FOUNDINGS STARVING, although some sources do. Settled for INVIDIOUS STRAFING.
FONDANTS-SURVIVING
DIVOT – TRANSFIGURING here. Had DISFIGURING first, so that led me to TRANSFIGURING which left DIVOT. Didn’t think to shorten it, but then again, once I get the win I rarely look back :-0. Too many other word games to get to before heading off to work! Taking DUFTAR as my new word for the day as well.
