VALIDITY—YOGURTS 🍦

DUGOUTS—SALIVARY
AVIDLY YOGURTS here too.
A 13/2, beating the OA in efficiency. 👍
Superb, both! After much cursing (I was so married to VASODILATOR(Y)) and other wonderful foiled possibilities, I saw VALIDITY, but doubted its usefulness – typed it in and saw YOGURTS. Had I typed YOGURTS in first, it might have gone your way.
Well done both!
Thanks, Irim! Upon second inspection I realized my program found another 13/2.
TRAVOIS—SLUDGY
I didn’t know the meaning of TRAVOIS, but here it is from MW:
travois: a simple vehicle used by Plains peoples consisting of two trailing poles serving as shafts and bearing a platform or net for the load.
Not a bad TI either. I can see them dragging that through the mud.

validly – yogurts
VALIDLY – YOGURTS
I spell it YOGHURT no wonder I didn’t see it! 🙂
US girl in UK here – so do I now, but fortunately, my US childhood saved me!
Agh, didn’t see AVIDLY, but that was because I was focused on longest possible first word and put in validity. But VALIDITY-YOGURTS here after much cursing that VASODILATOR or VASODILATORY weren’t options and being foiled by OLR, US, IR, DAY, so no ULTRA, TOR, TORY, etc. possible.
Better part of an hour here. Well done, Mark and Samuel!
Looking forward to seeing my besties, Kanishk and RF, soon, good luck to everyone attempting to solve and congratulations to all who do. Happy Tuesday!
Good job, Irim! DOGSITS – SAVOURLY here – inefficient as compared to most of the other solutions posted here.
Well done, Irim, Mark and Samuel. Looking forward to seeing RF’s solution soon! Happy Tuesday to all!
20/24, 72/83
Current streak: 3
Good job, I dismissed ‘savourly’ as a possibility, having only thought of it as a verb or noun!
Congrats, hon, and looking below for RF!
Gave up after just one hour. Coz I’m tired from my mother’s doctor’s appointment. Huhuhu….Well done my besties! 👍
17/24.
70/83.
*hugs* lovely, how did the appointment go? How are you?
I’m sorry about the streak loss, here’s to tomorrow being better!
Finally back in the win column after 3 very frustrating days. Very fast OA. Perfect with opening day around the corner. Spitting in the dugout is as old as baseball itself. 77/83, 20/24, 1, 36.
Hope your mom is ok!
So sorry to hear that, RF, here’s to better luck tomorrow!
How did the appointment go? Hope your mother is fine.
Nice! I did find SAVOURLY but couldn’t pair it. Oddly the American spelling SAVORLY wasn’t accepted (but of course using the U is better). Ended up with VALIDITY-YOGURTS like many others.
I noticed that too – very strange indeed. How is SAVOURLY accepted when SAVORLY isn’t?
Mother is fine. Nothing serious to worry about. Thanks God!

Hint: Contrasting – but equally deadly (7, 7)
D _ O _ G _ _ – _ S _ N _ _ I
Good one!
I’ll add a clue:
Dry and wet, or should I say very dry and very wet.
😁
Ah, yes indeed!
So my hints are 2016/17 in Tamil Nadu, and 2004, also affecting Tamil Nadu, but as part of a much larger area..
Nice one, Irim!
DROUGHT – TSUNAMI quickly.
😅🤗
Congrats, RF!!! You got the OA!! 🎉🥳
DROUGHT – TSUNAMI
Validity yogurts almost instantly
DOGTAILS* – SAVOURY. I’ve never eaten dogtails, but I bet they are.
Same here
Oops…I meant DOGSTAILS – SAVOURY
OA today
Same here
Dugouts salivary meant for today, not yesterday
It appears we are the only ones with that answer.
Oops! Let’s pretend I didn’t say that!
GORDITAS SAVOURLY
So many words not accepted today. Frustrating.
VORAGOS* STURDILY for instance.
* “Chasms” good in OED, MW, Scrabble etc.
DOGTAILS wasn’t accepted either. It’s in MW.
But believe it or not…DOGSTAILS was accepted!
VALIDITY YOGURTS. Have had a tough month here. Only my second solution but then have not played every day.
Validity – Yogurts
Avidly Yogurts
Tried avidly and validity, but all I saw left was gourds haha. Been around them all my life, yogurt less so. Gourds you can eat , make utensils of and make birdhouses of especially purple martins
VALIDITY-YOGURTS
Found these trying to fit VASOVAGAL, LIVIDITY, and GUARDRAILS.
Validly Yogurts
