SWITCHBACKKUDOS
BUDSTICKS-SHADOW immediately, and so fast, I had to refresh several times before this page came up! Love the original too.
Looking forward to seeing your solutions, RF, Kanishk, and everyone – good luck and happy Tuesday!
I got it the OA the other way around, didn’t even see it as working both ways it was so quick… KUDOS SWITCHBACK.
Wish there was some way to edit your own comments on here when you type in something too fast and you feel like a doofus when you can’t correct it.
Well done and same on the editing – it’s really irimtating when you see a mistake after you’ve posted!
Love your self-defecating pun their!
Agreed, I often make grammatical errors in my comments which I can’t edit after they’ve already been posted. The mods should do something about this.
SWITCHBACK – KUDOS. 2nd and 3rd word found, respectively.
7/10.
60/69.
Current streak: 1
Congrats to all of us who found a solution.
Hurrah, RF! Congratulations. Sorry I missed seeing you till now xx
Well done, Irim! OA here, not fast though, took me around 25 minutes. I knew it was going to be some kind of compound word. Love that it’s reversible, it works the other way around too!
8/10, 60/69
Current streak: 4
Yay! Good work, Kanishk – long may your streak last. Happy Tuesday.
OA adjacent.. Switchbacks – Sudoku. Had Switchbacks quickly but had a devil of a time coming up with words using the O and the U. The lack of an edit (or delete post) function is annoying and worse when you can’t reply to yourself to at least acknowledge the error. 66/69, 9/10, 4, 36
SWITCHBACKS—SUDOKU for me too
SWITCHBACK / KUDOS
Finally found a one-off, for a bunch of guys I used to get high with… BATSHITWACKOBUDS! But of course LB is a buzzkill… Uncool, man…
Too too funny

OA in minutes. But agreed: very irimtating when something in common usage like BATSHITWACKOBUDS is rejected by LB 🙄
🤣🤣🤣
Switchbacks studio quickly
Autodidacts switchback
Very nice!
Stub backshadows(W) stub for a symmetrical pair
Cool. I saw BACKSHADOW(s) in my output, but missed that symmetrical pair. I’ve come to really like Wiktionary, which far surpasses OED, MW, and others, according to ChatGPT. I now have 1.5 million words in my database, thanks to W. ☕☕
Thanks Mark! Seems a common literary device would be in OED and MW
You’re missing the i though…
sorry I just got here
My NYT Letter Boxed puzzle does not accept Backshadow(s).
But my two words, switchbacks and studio, worked nicely.
OA in pretty short order, once I believed a word could start with K.
OA …very fast. No wasted time today!
SWITCHBACKS-STUDIO
switchbacks-studio.
Quickly.
Yay.
SWITCHBACK – KUDOS pretty quickly this afternoon. It’s been a long time since I’ve played this game.
Switchback kudos…
When you actually remember to change the clocks for daylight saving time.

Takes me far longer than the average person here
