LUKEWARMMARIGOLD
Yay! OA for me! 😉
OA here too.
widowmaker-regular here, as well
I had a tepid recovery from yesterday’s loss with
LUKEWARM MARIGOLD.
Same here. Still took quite a while today too after plenty of time in vain yesterday.
lukewarm marigold…
Reaction when the kids bring you a Mother’s Day bouquet from the neighbor’s yard.
WIDOWMAKER-REGULAR
Jinx! 😀
Same.
WIDOWMAKER – REGULAR here too.
I saw a band called Widowmaker in 1975.
Yeah, Luther Grosvenor of Mott the Hoople played guitar for Widowmaker.
AKA Ariel Bender as I recall.
This is a very interesting tangent. In the old days we OGs often discussed music, bands, songs, lyrics. I listened to a lot of music I would never have heard otherwise. I must follow up on Widowmaker. I vaguely recall Mott the H.
WIDOWMAKER-RUGAL
I was trying to enter the same solution but I didn’t notice that I hadn’t tapped on the last “R”. So I entered WIDOWMAKER-REGULA and it was accepted.
Lukewarm
Migod
Surely that isn’t a word. I only typed it in to have a look at the letters left.!! and it’s accepted it
same!
I got same
I got same. Widowmaker and regular
WIDOWMAKER-REGULAR for me too, after several minutes. Turns out that REGLUE is not accepted.
WIDOWMAKER / REGULAR here.
GEOIDAL-LUKEWARM
Same
Same here
NK – never made it to a 2-word solution but found some good words:
MARAUDER
GLOWER(ED)
GUILDED(ER)
GUIDED(ER)
EMERALD [EMERALDLIKE* not accepted:( ]
GAMELIKE
WORMLIKE
GEMLIKE
ROGUE
WORDGAME*
DRUGLIKE*
WORDMAKER*
Excellent answer! Almost had one myself a few years ago!
Same.
Letterboxed should merge with Spelling bee so you get credit for making more words.
Excellent idea! I merge Wordle and Connections, selecting my starting word for Wordle from what’s available in the Connections grid.
Same!
WIDOWMAKER-RUGOLA
Rugelach again! Good thing it wasn’t the OA, there would be a riot.
OA Lukewarm Marigold here. Never cared for ‘em much myself.
I neglected to note the presence of Luke in the OA on May the Fourth.
OA – but slowly
LUKEWARM – MIGOD
Agnosticism.
Same. “HOW IS YOUR FAITH?” “Um, lukewarm, migod.”
Same.
Same
Same
Tried MIGOD just on a lark after I got LUKEWARM, and what do you know? It took. Didn’t even have time to look for MARIGOLD.
That’s how I found it, too.
Same.
Same for me, then had to look up MIGOD. Was bracing for it to be a controversial OA.
oa
LUKEWARM — MARIGOLD
Also found DRUGMAKER, AWKWARD, and RIGAMAROLE* (LB didn’t accept) but couldn’t pair them.
LB accepts Rigmarole instead of Rigamarole. Still unpairable, but a great find in itself!
Wow, I didn’t even attempt that one!
Lawmaker yes.
Rugmaker no.
DRUGMAKER yes 🙂
WIDOWMAKER – REGULAR
Same.
Had LUKEWARM but couldn’t pair it. Also tried DOWAGER, WORMLIKE, DOGLIKE, and AWKWARD to no success. 😔
I missed the -LIKE words. DOWAGER is an excellent find as well!
OA
GWD—AEI—RKL—UOM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KWELA—AUDIOGRAM 14/2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LUKEWARD°—DEMIGOD
LOWRIDER—RUGMAKER°
KWELA — AUDIOGRAM is a great find!!
You are the winner with KWELA!
WIDOWMAKER RUGLIKE*
*MW, COLL. OED, & Scrabble
Also WIDOWERMAKER* RUGOLA
And just for fun
GUILD DOWAGERMAKER*
*madeup
Surprised DRUGMAKER accepted but not RUGMAKER.
lukewarm – marigold
WIDOWMAKER – REGLUE (surprised REGLUE wasn’t accepted)
Lukewarm, for Star Wars day. Very clever, Letter Boxed.
WIDOWMAKER – RUGAL and knew it was not the OA
Widowmaker regular for me .LB won’t accept Reglue(d) (MWOED) It got early and thought there would be many solves so got lot of nice words but no other solves
I got early
Karaoke demagogue demiurge godlike doglike wormlike marauder logogramdowager malware guild gradual kilogram radiogram glowered ukelele mildew among others
Neither of the OA words, but that seems to be a pattern
After fiddling around with SO MANY great words that I couldn’t connect, finally got OA after I had madrigal but it left the o. Then it came to me to rearrange madrigal to marigold. I messed around with this all day.
LUKEWARM-MIGOD
MIGOD isn’t in the dictionary, but Letter Boxed accepted it.
It’s in the OED.
GROWLED – DRUGMAKER
