Great LB day!
☕☕
Another PINFISHES – STICKERED here. Not exactly the most efficient solve I’ve ever come up with, but I expect there are dozens of solutions today so happy to have sifted through enough I and E words to have landed up on a solution. On to SB!
Pinfishes — Stickered
LB accepted PREFETCHED, and PREFETCHED-DRINKS was my solution.
Fetches Sprinked
Was surprised that sprinked was accepted
Indeed. Does anyone have a definition for SPRINKED?
“To sprinkle with small drops.”
The English Dialect Dictionary.
Thank you, Simon 👍
Same answer, same surprise.
REFINISHED- DIPSTICK
Fun day to play!
Sure was. Fishsticks Sprinted
My answer too, thankfully got it right before bed. Would have been done sooner but apparently Prechecked doesn’t fly around here.
Did anyone have a different set of letters today (6/28/26)? I had these letters; my wife had different ones. Checked our puzzle dates. They were the same. After a few minutes her screen refreshed, I guess, and now she has these letters! Very strange.

PICKETER REFINISHED
Tom Sawyer’s fence.
Same here. Hadn’t thought of Tom Sawyer but good job!👍
Turns out someone else is preaching the 08.30, so I didn’t have to – result!
Kicking myself for not seeing NITPICKER-REFINISHED – I kept stopping there and wanting REDFISH or REDSHIFT, yet I somehow saw REFINISHED-DIPSTICK.
REFINISHED-DIPSTICK here after about 20ish minutes of being the SHRIEKIEST because I was stymied at so many favourite words – KERCHIEFS, SPINDRIFTS, THINKPIECE, DENTIFRICE, FRIENDSHIP, etc.
Speaking of FRIENDSHIP, hope to see you both soon with your solutions, Kanishk and RF!
Good luck, everyone, and happy Sunday! Off to preach
REFETCHES – SPRINKED. But not proud of it.
Well done Miss Irim. Checking in on Kanishk-boy later.
Well done, both of you – I was unable to make DIPSTICK work, Irim, so glad you found a match for it.
A gnarly array today, with only two vowels, I and E – nevertheless, FISHSTICKS – SPRINTED in about an hour or so, after trying out a bunch of options like STICKPIN, STIRFRIED, TRICKSTER, CERTIFIED, DECIPHER, RECIPHERED, INTERFERED, STICKERED, CHECKERED and SKETCHED.
Never saw SPRINKED, don’t know what it means – I would have gotten a solution much sooner had I tried it.
REFETCHES – SPRINKED. But not proud of it.
Well done Miss Irim. Checking in on Kanishk-boy later.

Nitpicker Refreshed
PRECHECKED – DISINFECT. Was surprised to discover that PRECHECKED is good in Scrabble but not in the OED.
NITPICKER REFRESHED in
OA.
Refinished – dipstick 🤷🏼♀️
PREDICTS STINKFISH*

And “Field Guide to Tropical Reef Fishes of the Indo-Pacific”
Refinished & Dipstick
I saw the word Decipher very quickly but was unable to find a partner for it. I also found Dipstick quickly Finally I found Finish which became Refinished.
PREFETCHED-DRINKS
PICKETER RFINISHED here.
PICKETER REFINISHED.
Picketer refinished also and it took ONLY an hour to find it……
Prefinished dipstick. Wanted to use firesticks but couldn’t match
