FAIRGROUND DUTCH

FAIRGROUND-DITCH for me. A hole that could result in legal liability.

Sad clowns in a hail of bullets!
Steph was right… Danger!
Here too. Would have had it much sooner but there are problems with the site.
Same… nothing but sad clowns.
Same here.
FAIRGROUND – DITCH
Got it almost immediately. Maybe its where they put the heart attack victims behind the fried Snickers stand.
Exactly! Fairground Ditch (stay on the paths and don’t go wandering off, Folks). Also found Fought Tornadic (stormchasers who did more than just chase).
Confidant Through
OA for me too.
But I’m going with CONFIDANT – THOROUGH.
I tell them all my secrets. Just wish they didn’t take such good notes.
😄
(OUT)FOUGHT—TORNADIC
CONFIDANT—THROUGH(OUT)
Storm chasers!

OA.
It took me so long which make it very satisfying when finally I found a solution. YAY!!!

I had been looking at SAINT, SAVANT, etc., and then I saw Mark’s great clue! 🙂

CONFIDENT — THOROUGH
GIGANTIC—CHAUDFROID*°
PSW ✔️, MW ✔️, OED ✔️, LB ❌
chaudfroid, n. A dish composed of cooked meat, fish, etc., served cold in aspic jelly or sauce;…
okay, so i had to look up CHAUDFROID …
Spruce Eats has an article titled:
“Chaud-Froid: A Paradoxical Name from Culinary History”
Chaud-Froid is “Hot-Cold” … the first leftovers! 😇
https://www.thespruceeats.com/what-is-chaud-froid-995609
😎
And Gigantic Leftover s are the best!
unless my fridge goes out …
😎
Curious if this is yummy! 😋
Hmm … y’all do realize we can make:
AFRICANGROUNDHOT 16/1
AFRICANGROUNDHUT 16/1
and
AFRICANGROUNDNOUGHT 19/1 ?
Doesn’t matter because LB doesn’t like any of them.
I wanted to do:
GIANTGROUNDFINCH in honor of DW?, our resident ornithologist/aviophile, but can’t do finch due to the IN sequence.
So, all that to say i didn’t get the OA. 😎
I did get:
CONCORDANT TIGHT TOUR RIFT 23/4
CONCORDANT THUG GIFT 18/3 😇
Is that 19/1 in OED ? 😉
for
AFRICANGROUNDNOUGHT ?
i don’t know – i haven’t checked any of them yet …
doesn’t look like it, at least i don’t find it for now …
But – maybe in the future …

Some other sequences that cover all the letters:
GROUNDFRIGHTCAN
GROUNDFRIGHTCAD
i wanted to do “groundfrightcat” but can’t since the A and T are both on top.
Disclaimer: none of these words are real words unless they are! 😎

OUTFIGHT-TORNADIC
In about 10 minutes.
A while later I found
FAIRGROUND-DITCH
FAIRGROUND-DUTCH
OA
OA for me today. Didn’t get it on the commute though. Took a little while.
Fanfiction Nad Drought for an unfortunate 3 worder (although Fanfiction Drought uses all letters).
FAIRGROUND DICHOTIC
feels a little overzealous after reading the more obvious second answer here, but oh well!
FAIRGROUND – DITCH. Fairground was the second word I tried, and Ditch was an easy finish from there.
Here is the full list including Scrabble words:
** Don’t look at the list if you haven’t finished solving the puzzle **
(The first number is a count and the second number is the number of letters used)
1 – 17 confidant / thorough
2 – 16 confidant / through
3 – 19 confidant / throughout
4 – 20 confidant / throughgang
5 – 18 fairground / dichotic
6 – 15 fairground / ditch
7 – 15 fairground / dutch
8 – 20 fairground / dichroitic
9 – 14 fought / tornadic
10 – 16 gunfight / tornadic
11 – 16 outfight / tornadic
12 – 17 outfought / tornadic
13 – 21 anguifauna* / achondritic
14 – 15 candiru / unfought*
15 – 20 confidant / throughgaun*
16 – 15 fairground / dicht*
17 – 18 gigantic / chaudfroid*
18 – 17 gunfought* / tornadic
19 – 16 unfought* / tornadic
I spent way too much time trying to find something with an “tion” ending.
Eventually I found FAIRGROUND – DUTCH going 50/50 on the county festivities!
Incidentally I was unhappy HANDCOUNT wasn’t accepted.
The potential of a ‘tion’ ending had me hunting fruitlessly as well and for far to long.
It’s very easy to go chasing something that isn’t there 🙁
FAIRGROUND – DUTCH after way too long
