The answers are:
INFIELDERREPUTABLE
Unliftable epidural
Nice. I like the medical ones.
😆
Me too l. It often takes me ages to solve these but for some reason epidural leapt put at me!
I think doing The LondonTimes cryptic crosswords helps. I always start by going through the clues looking for anagrams.
Putrefied-definable
Nice. I was playing with putrefied and couldn’t find a second word.
I like this one, Patrice! But a surprising amount of variation today. The old feast-or-famine phenom.
I went with Finder Reputable. Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons! Or, as Bob and Ray would have it, Mr. Trace, Keener than Most Persons.
BTW, if you’d like to listen to the original radio show in all its magnificent idiocy, or to Bob and Ray’s wry version, hie yourself over to the Internet Archive. Give them money. This is where the Wayback Machine resides. America really really needs it.
Unrepeatable Edified
UNDEFEATABLE-EPIDURAL. I spent a lot of type messing around with words like PREPRANDIAL.
Same but more like Unrelatedable, Debatable, etc.
Unrelatable
Ditto.
UNDEFEATABLE-EPIDURAL
DEFINABLE-ERUPT
INFIELDER-REPUTABLE
UNDEFINABLE-ERUPT
Same… OA in short order
PUTREFIED-DRAINABLE*
*DRAINABLE good in OED, Scrabble US (TWL) but not LB
FINDER-REPUTABLE
finder – reputable as well
And another FINDER—REPUTABLE
This was mine, too. But wow you’re really into this, huh?
PUTREFIED-DEFINABLE
PUTREFIABLE-END
Same
Same. Pretty quickly (beats OA today!!)
*UPLANDER-RATIFIABLE
*UPLANDER good in OED, Merriam-Webster, Scrabble US (TWL) but not LB
UNDEFINABLE-ERUPT
FINDER – REPUTABLE
Me too.
Yes, I found this….a preferable (my hopeful starting point) answer!
Finder—Reputable. More efficient than the OA, but harder to find!
I thought it was easier actually since I saw REPUTABLE first. I then became a FINDER finder almost instantly. Give me the more efficient answer anytime.
Ruptured Definable… run, put, set
Finder Reputable… loser separable.
Finder Rupturable
RUPTURED-DEFINABLE for me
I don’t like to revisit my silly quips, but for the sake of our shared logophilia… run, put, set are the English words with the most definitions.
And I was trying to make finders keepers, losers weepers; fit into this LB mound.
*mould
Thanks, MVUA! I did not know that. Interesting fact! I must remember to trot it out in future conversations. Although, let’s face it, I probably won’t remember what the three words are by the time tomorrow rolls around.
UNDEFEATABLE – EPIDURAL.
That’s what I got!
Undefeatable Epidural also. You just knew there would be multiple solutions today.
RUPTURED-DEFINABLE
RUPTURED-DEFINABLE too
….uh I can explain that generations-long family feud…
Another UNDEFINABLE ERUPT, after UNDRAFTABLE (and EPIDURAL) wasn’t accepted.
UNPREFERABLE EDIT
Oddly, UNPREFERABLE was not accepted! I tried it before eventually arriving at my solution.
Putrefied Definable
Ruptured definable
Undefinable and erupt. Close.
PUTREFIED – DEFINABLE also.
Unreputable Edified
DEFINABLE – ERUPT
RUPTURED – DEFINABLE
UNDEFINABLE – ERUPT
UNRUPTURED – DEFINABLE
INDEFINABLE – ERUPT
FINDABLE° – ERUPT
UNFINDABLE° – ERUPT
° OED
Unrepeatable
Edified
Putrefiable-eland
I was not familiar with eland, but that seems like a good one to remember.
PUTREFIABLE / ELAND as well…
This is what I had, as well. What a disgusting antelope!
Actually Eland is exceptionally tasty.
Yes I know…recently had eland and kudu while in Namibia last year.
Hyenas would beg to differ, Mike. But hey, “more for us”.
Finder reputable
Indefinable erupt
UNDERTIP – PREFERABLE
Not!!!
Same here, but better than no tip?
It appears UNDEFEATABLE is acceptable but DEFEATABLE is not. Is our team really that good?
😄, Tom
UNREPUTABLE – EDIFIED
UNDEFEATABLE — EPIDURAL
Couldn’t do much with PREPRANDIAL or REDBEARD
Ruptured-Definable
Undefinable – erupt
DEFINABLE – ERUPT, which I thought would be the OA, because it is the most beautifully elegant solution.
Same here. I thought it might be the OA. It is an efficient solution. I found DEFINABLE and ERUPT after trying several other combinations. I like when there are several solutions to an LB puzzle.
Undertip Preferable
UNFILED–DRAFTABLE*
DEFINABLE–ERUPT
UNLIFTABLE EPIDURAL
Came up with a couple non-accepted answers before finding UNDEFEATABLE EPIDURAL .
Was surprised UNAFRAID DEPUTABLE* not ok.
My other stab was PLATITUDINAL LARFABLE*
* Shows up in books. Mark Twain used it. So did Time Magazine.
UNREPEATABLE – EDIFIED
Purlieu -> Undefeatable
Nice!
Wow — for the first time I think I’ve got one no one else has mentioned:
UNREPEATABLE EDIFIED
Nice!
FINDER RUPTURABLE.
Perdu Unliftable
PURLIEU – UNDEFEATABLE
FINDER – REPUTABLE for me too
Finder – Reputable
Finder – Reputable
How is OA determined?
UNDEFINABLE – ERUPT (finally, goodnight!)
UNPUTREFIED – DURABLE makes sense…
Fail today. I didn’t see any of the words in the other comments. 🙁 I got BEAUTIFIED immediately and thought that would lead to something, but I couldn’t find a match. I also had high hopes for UNDERLIT, but alas.
for tomorrow JACKFRUIT TOUGH
