The latter was my solution, Mark. I didn’t spot UNKNOWABILITY, but if I had, I would have paired it with BRUBRU.
Once again the LB word list mystifies: in what universe (or dictionary) is KILOBAR not a word??
What got me was that if UNKNOWABILITY is acceptable, shouldn’t KNOWABILITY be also? Not even a PSW! Oh well, the mystery continues.
KILOBIT worked, if that can help someone solve.
Mr.MARKIEMARKUP,
We can always assign a meaning to an invented word. 🤗😉
I found it in some dictionary I thought, maybe I was dreaming.
😴
Or:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitch%27s_paradox_of_knowability
DW, according to the OED, it’s ‘kilo-bar’, with a hyphen. The OED *loves* a hyphen, sigh.
Knowability should have also worked with Your, right there in M Webster
UNKNOWABILITY – YOUR
WALKABILITY – YOURN
One of the not so many easy days. 😊
Same. I complain again: why is “yourn” accepted and “bitch” is not?
Well shat is accept but the present tense is not. 🙃
I somehow stumbled upon this answer
I see what you did there, MBEE!

Mr.DAVEL,
Good job for finding a unique answer! 🤗👍
The OA is:
DURABLE – ENVISION
I found UNIBROW but gave up after WALKOUT left me with an unused Y; got closer than I realized
KURU UNKNOWABILITY.
Kuru – a rather gruesome word! ☠️☠️
I could not let laboratory go. Is there a one word solution to my twink knurl pairing with it using the pesky u? Enjoy reading all your great answers daily as a new player.
I also got UNKNOWABILITY-YOUR after reluctantly letting go of WALKABOUT and URBANITY. If the set-up had been a tiny bit different, UNWORKABILITY would have used all the letters! Yesterday’s made me furious – I figured, on seeing the solution, that SCRATCHPAD was something a cat might use. Never heard of the real meaning. 🤷🏽♀️
(Brit here.)
Nice, Fishcake, that’s some consolation: I also looked at Walkabout and Urbanity. Never came up with a (two-word) solution, though. ☹️
Hi Fishcake …
I also saw the initial possibility of the word
UNWORKABILITY
and was so sad to find that it was describing itself.
So I had to settle for UNKNOWABILITY YOUR 😎
(actually my unknowability, but you know how it goes).
Posting very late again, but I was driving almost all day.
Yippee!!!!
I just noticed from Davel’s list that my (and many of our) solutions is one letter better … ur, more Efficient … than the NYT OA!!!!
Yay US!
Couldn’t get there.
KILT – TURNABOUT – TWINY
Showing off his new duds.
Moi aussi! Came up with close ones WALKABOUT-TYRANT-TWIN (to get that ‘I’)
Had to settle for a similar threebie: LAYABOUT-TWINK-KIR
I was excited to get WALKABOUT, and saw TYRANT, but could not make a pair that included I.
😄
UNKNOWABILITY – YARN
TI: enigmatic knitting materials?
Or using “yarn” in the sense of a story: a mysterious tall tale
Glad to get this one after blanking out on yesterday’s 😜
With a leftover Y there were lots of inefficient possibilities. I went with unknowability yarn as a metaphysical TI.
UNKNOWABILITY – YARN…
string theory
😆 Brilliant! 👏🏾
Unknowability – your
I too am confused about which words are acceptable, it seems pretty random. I think WORDLE uses (among others) words that have appeared in the NY Times. I wonder if something like that is going on here with LB. I can’t imagine the NYT using kilobar…
RAKU–UNKNOWABILITY
‘Raku’ courtesy of ‘The Great Pottery Throwdown’.
unknowability is part of 15 2-word solutions
walkability is part of 2 2-word solutions
OA after spending way too long trying to solve with WALKABOUT. And I speak on behalf of all parrots out there, but I am miffed that BRAWK was not accepted!
Finally got a solution… 😵💫😁🍻
[ WALKABILTY ~ YOURN ]
This was satisfying as I was near an hour and was positive there was a match with “WALKABOUT”. Closest I got was…
WALKABOUT – TURBINAL ( missing Y)
I also got close with…
URBANITY – YOLK (missing W)
URBANITY – YOWL (missing K)
Also had played with Burnout, Tyrant,
Walkway, Binary, Unitary and Obituary
Same here, with Urbanity near-matches.
I was trying with most of those words too (WALKABOUT, URBANITY, YOLK, TYRANT, WALKWAY, BINARY, UNARY) but couldn’t finish it.
Found WALKABOUT fairly quickly but couldn’t pair it. Then had URBANITY. Missing ITILITY is going to haunt me for a few days, but moving on to more important things in my day. Alas.
Walkability yourn
In about 20 minutes.
walkability – yourn
Stuck on WALKABILITY and UNKNOWABILITY,
and missed unibrow and yourn (which I did not know was a word).
(How did I miss ‘your’???)
Letterbox amuses me sometimes with what it will accept. I put Wanky (Brit & Aussie slang) in just as a lark and yep, accepted. Wank – no. 😊
Got stuck on Inkblot.
