Plenty of half-solutions, I didn’t even venture into pseudo-solution land.
Good LB day!

HYPOTENUSES / SHOWCASE
WATCH-HYPOTENUSE immediately, not least because the latter is a favourite word.
Kanishk and RF, my lovelies, awaiting your presence and solutions!
Good luck, everyone, and Happy Hump Day!
TOWNHOUSE – EYEPATCH.
Well done Miss Irim! Checking on Kanishk-boy later.
Amazing job, RF and Irim! I LOVE your solution, RF – that would have been my solution too, if I had noticed the -HOUSE suffix.
OA here almost immediately after a brief annoyance with STOPWATCH not being possible due to P-W juxtaposition – no wonder I got the OA, we’re currently learning trigonometry in math! HYPOTENUSE is a favourite of mine too, Irim.
Glad to see the triumvirate has triumphed, once again. Happy Hump Day to all.
Townhouse-Eyepatch for me too. Took all day. Figured there would be a -house solution. Couldn’t find a pair for chophouse or taphouse.

TOWNHOUSE—EYEPATCH
My first solve after waking up in my new townhouse!
It’d be complete if you were wearing one of those sleeping masks!
Good one.

TOWNHOUSE EYEPATCH
Townhouse Patch
Townhouse – eyepatch after failing with words like causeway, stowaway, and more.
Townhouse Eyepatch
OA once I remembered the correct spelling of the second term.
Was hoping Pentateuch might work. Alas no.
