The answers are:
VULNERABLEETHIC
Vulnerable ethic OA
Quick OA with abundant TI.
So I sometimes come on here to check if my answer is the official one – I am assuming OA is ‘Official Answer’ but what is TI, please?
TI = thematic integrity
Its fun sometimes to make the words try to mean something. Sometimes they do it without help.
Yes indeed. MVUA. Only too current, as was yesterday’s Quotations Scornful.
Also found Charcuterie Enviable (a plotline from The Bear) and Archlute Enviable (a plotline from Amadeus).
OA.
OA
Ditto
CHARCUTERIE – ENVIABLE.
oooh Radio, yours is much better than my similar CHURCHITE- ENVIABLE. I thought the first word meant a Sunday service devotee, but discovered it is a mineral 🤷🏻♀️. I steered away from foods when CERVICHE wasn’t accepted.
❤️
I also had CHURCHITE – ENVIABLE and minerology was not on my mind.
Churchite-Enviable for me as well following a long struggle.
Actually, it’s CEVICHE, but the arrangement won’t let you do that either 🙁
Aha! Thanks Judy.
Actually spelled Ceviche, I believe, therefore not available.
Nice find! Got circular with VIRULENCE/T, HABITAT, TABULATE, ETHERIC, etc!!
Same
CHARCUTERIE- ENVIABLE here too
TI: a snack presentation made by the perfect party host(ess)! 🥳
Ended with CHARCUTERIE-ENVIABLE (19/2) as well!
I don’t care if it’s not the OA. This is one of my most satisfying 2 solves. Easily an hour trying and almost giving up with various 3 solves.
Yes! I ended up with charcuterie and enviable also. Worked on this bear off and on all day to get my FIRST two words solution. I was not going to be satisfied with 5 words. Woo hoo!

selfpayable?

Comfortable.
Hey, THIS,
That is correct! COMFORTABLE, indeed! Yay!!! 🤓🤗
Double thumbs up! 👍👍

Hi RrrF
Before scrolling down to be correct answer, I came up with:
The idle rich sit around the COFFEETABLE while the rest of us poor dogs must work for a living.
Hahaha. 😅
SKR
PIN
UOE
CVQ
CLUE: the virtual assistants…
Q is the last letter in the array.
But Q is the first letter in the solution.
Hey, Sir MARKIE,
Oooh, you noticed. Yes! I deliberately put Q in the last corner. Yes! Q is the first letter in the solution. ❤️
You’re so smart! You noticed even the little things! 💜

I have a 17/2 solve with an R connector, but I will let others try before I post it. 🙂
Hey, Sir BILL DUFFIN,
YEAH! R is the connector. It is 17/2.
👍👍
I have a pair of R-connector 17/2’s. One is the OA.
The other is QUICKENER – REPROVES.
And that’s all I’m going to say 😉
👍👍
is it:
quicker / responsive
Hey, Mr.DAREDAVEL,
YES, it is! Yay!!! 🎉🥳
QUICKER – RESPONSIVE, indeed! 🤓🤗
Double thumbs up!!! 👍👍

OA after a bit of stuffing about. Still miffed Lenticular went nowhere!
Vulnerable Ethic
As well. 2fer2
VIRULENT—TRABUCH°
VULNERABLE—ETHIC(AL) OA
HIBERNACULAR°—RECITATIVICAL° 25/2
°OED
trabuch, n. A medieval engine of war for throwing great stones against walls, etc.: cf. trebuchet, n.
hibernacular, adj. Of or pertaining to a hibernacle.
recitativical, adj. Of the nature of recitative.
VULNERABLE — ETHERICAL
I didn’t even notice ETHIC
Played around with CHARITABLE, TRENCHANT.
Very similar — I got vulnerable etheric. Also did not see ethic, which seems strange but there you go!
Charcuterie – Enviable
Guess I was hungry!
I had CHURCHITE – ENVIABLE and BLANCHER*-RIVULET.
I was irritated that I couldn’t use TREBUCHET, BECHANCE, REHABILITATE, VIRULENCE, CHERVIL, HABITUAL, and others. Lots of time spent on dead ends today.
dead ends …
mine were:
BLANCHE
LATENT
LAURENTIAN (a LB no)
CIRCULATE
UTILITARIAN
RUTELIAN (also LB 👎)
CENTENARIAL
HABITABLE
NAUTICAL
REHABILITATE
NEBULA
no matches for any of the above.
So, i gave up and came on over here.
👏 to all you solvers!
😎
No luck for me either but you found a lot more words than I did. My strategy seems to have been different because I focussed on words containing V, like RIVULET, VIRULENT (I had high hopes for that one), and VIRTUAL. But could not find pairs.
Blancher- rivulet also which i got through lenticular btw franzee2. I feel your pain. Happy father’s day to those it applies
And I especially like the tri- VIRTUAL LENTICULAR REBIRTH
wouldn’t let me use
BLANCHER when I tried it followed by RIVULET.
I see that a few few people used Blancher?
Just taking credit for it despite no acceptance
OA. Wish I’d seen charcuterie!
Had charcuterie but didnt see enviable. Went with the very arcane Curvier Rehabilitance*
Quick OA today after regrettably missing the ~TION suffix yesterday and failing to find QUOTATIONS. 🤦♂️
Iet with defeat today. VIRULENT and BLANCH use all the letters but I had to connect them with TAB.
VIRTUALBENCH would work as a 1-word solution if LB had accepted it.
I also found plenty of two-word solutions that left an orphaned letter behind.
Looking forward to a better day tomorrow.
Let us not overlook our old friend the Halibut!
Failed again today. I spent a long time trying to get VIRULENT, RIVULET, or VIRTUAL to work.
