INVOKERS – STAGY saves a few letters.
I got this 13/2 as well, KathyG!
Same = televangelists.
Had to return next day before finding Invokers Stagy
Gyrations Skive ( a version of shirk used in UK?)
Oh brilliant! Was looking for the complement to GYRATIONS.
Also GYRATIONS – SKIVE immediately. From my long-ago leatherworking: skive = beveling, thinning edges of leather, e.g., for a smoother joining of two pieces.
Also GYRATIONS – SKIVE immediately. From my long-ago leatherworking: skive = beveling, thinning edges of leather, e.g., for a less-bulky joining of two pieces.
GYRATIONS-SKIVE right out of the gate on first try. Not even a sip of coffee first.
🐦 ANI, TIT, NENE, KEA, KITE, VIREO, NARINA TROGON, IORA, GERYGONE, STINT, SORA, INTI TANAGER, ANTVIREO 🐦🐦 ROOK, VEERY, GANNET (there you go, KP!)
Same here, but not so immediately. Fell into a trap with STATIONERY.
Geostationary
INVIGORATIONS-SKYER . whatever works i guess
Went back to find more and came up with this also. I think that is enough for me for today happy hump day to all
and happy summer solstice!
Hah, thought I was going to be the only one with this dubious answer today, but glad to see I’m in good company!
Same, no idea what skyer is.
In baseball a high pop up
Same… On with my day.
I got invigorate but I didn’t think of invigorations. Though I don’t know if I would’ve come up with skyer haha
Invokers-stagy
One longer: INVOKERS-STAGEY
Me, too.
GOATSKIN – NERVY
An old fashioned flask with a shot of brandy.
Very good!
Hmmm, doesn’t sound half bad. What would such a cocktail be called?
Good find Jill!
Potential cocktail names:
Billy Alexander
Goat Beard Gut Punch
Boozy Billy
Nice! I like the second one with the double-alliteration, but ‘Billy Alexander’ would probably be the one that catches on.
Goatskin is an awesome find, Jill!
Another Gyrations Skive here. Sometimes you need to really twist and turn to get out of an assignment, when working would be easier than shirking…
I nominate Jill to win today, with a non-S linking 13/2 with great TI 🙂
I’ll second!
REVEGETATIONS-STINKY
My compost bin.
Hey, why when I tried VEGETATIONS ( for vegetations-snarky) I was told VEGETATIONS NOT A WORD which it certainly is.
A PSW, so it definitely is! Take it for the win.
Really, the plural is a Scrabble word?
I found a source that said it wasn’t but not why: https://wordfinder.yourdictionary.com/scrabble-dictionary/vegetations/
From the NIH website:
Endocarditis infection occurs along the edges of the heart valves. The lesions, called vegetations, are masses composed of fibrin, platelets, and infecting organisms, held together by agglutinating antibodies produced by the bacteria.
I suppose what is everyday lingo in one’s work is not always game😒
I had the same thoughts as Steph but when VEGETATIONS didn’t work, I went with REVEGETATIONS-SKY for the slightly shorter answer 🙂
word list: ENSNARE GENERATIONS INERTIA INVENTIONS INVIGORATE INVOKER RATIONS REGENERATION REVOKER ROASTERS SANITATE SANITATION STANKY STARKY STATIONS STINKERS TANKERS TASTERS TINKERS VERTIGO VEGETATION
I’d so wanted VIKINGS-STATIONERY to work. (A small boulder.) But not quite.
Apologies for the double post. It’s sometimes unclear whether a comment is accepted.
Non vegetarians sky
Theme please?
“Me need meat to make homerun go high!”
😅
It’s Raining Men by The Fine Young Cannibals
Oa.
invokers – strategy
Spent a little time with VINEGAR(S) but then found both OA and INVOKERS-STRATEGY. Off to the bee!
I got INVOKERS—STAGY. I wanted to start with vintagers, but SKYOT stumped me.
GYRATIONS — SKIVE here too
Goatskin nervy
Gyrations – Skive. Invigorations – skyer. Never heard of skyer before.
Very pleased with this (even if not accepted): VIRAGOS SKYNET
KEYSTROKER – REGENERATIVE
I was also upset VEGETATIONS was not accepted. 🙄
I was really hoping SNARKY would work. I got INVOKERS STAGEY
INVOKERS STAGY (or Invokers Strategy). Some close calls with INVETERATE, INVIGORATE, KIOSK/S, VETERAN/S, ORIGINATE, INVITATION/S, INKY, YENTA/S, STRIVEN, TRIVIA, STEVIA, KEYS, etc. 3 words (17/3): INVETERATE EGOS SKY. 15/4: STROKE ENVY YIN NAG.
Skynet not accepted? Arnie’s gonna come get you! 😄
Gave up after some perfectly acceptable words did not have partners. Sometimes LB tries to be too clever at finding obscure words, and is at risk of sucking the life out of the game. Jmho.
