PHONIESSUBJECT
SIPHONS – SUBJECT
PHONICS SUBJECT
Faster than I solved Wordle for a change!
A similar solve. PHONETICS – SUBJECT. I found Subject first then worked backwards.
I ended up with the similar PHOTONICS-SUBJECT. Done with plenty of commute still to go.
Don’t Letterbox and drive
PHOTONICS – SUBJECT today. Smacked my forehead when I saw phonies
me too, exactly
Same (PHOETICS -SUBJECT).
Tried starting with the J (JUICES), found PHONETIC(S) , then SUBJECT.
Same and same
phonics – subject as well
Same. PHONICS-SUBJECT, found ‘subject’ and worked backwards.
That’s what I got.
Same! Well, same Letter Boxed answer; I can get Wordle in less than a minute and I average 2.5 tries, but am an absolute dunce at getting Letter Boxed in 2. I can go weeks without doing it in 2. 😑
PHONICS-SUBJECT for me too. First found a use for J with INJECT, then improved it to OBJECT to include the B. Took several minutes and trying other words like PITCHES before finally noticing SUBJECT to use the U as well, and then it was easy.
Same and pretty quickly despite the scary J
Same, too easy today
Yeah
SIPHONS – SUBJECT also.
PHOTONICS SUBJECT
A little light reading
nice 🙂
Phonetics subject
Same
Same here, KM. Hadn’t come up with the TI: well done
Nice one, KM. Didn’t find a good TI but now I see the light.
PHONICS-SUBJECT
same.
No longer taught in elementary school, I believe
Same. Worked with PHOTONIC and SUBSONIC and sort of mashed them together to get PHONICS-SUBJECT.
EUPHONIES-SUBJECT
*NONSUBJECT-TOPHI
*NONSUBJECT good in Merriam-Webster, Scrabble US (TWL)
PHOTOPHOBOUS-SUBJECT
Disregard PHOTOPHOBOUS-SUBJECT, no I
PHONETICS / SUBJECT
*SIPHONEOUS-SUBJECT
*SIPHONEOUS good in OED, Merriam-Webster
That’s a good one! I went with the usual Phonics / Phonies / Siphons Subject – a broad-ranging conversation. LB didn’t accept “iPhones”, which is just as well for those of us who are Subject-Technophobic on that score.
Neophobics subject
PHONICS-SUBJECT here too.
My favorite in school.
I got the same
OA.
Me too.
Or PHONETICS -SUBJECT.
phonics-subject
OA!
Neophobics subject
Phonics Subject…..nice and satisfying. Good words along the way so looking forward to another creative ‘story’ today after yesterday’s masterpiece.
Phonetics-subject
19/2.SUBJECT TECHNOPHOBIC
me too!
Subject technophobic.
Took me ages
Siphon – Subject
Richie – I especially like your word euphonies!
* siphons – subject
PHONESIS –SUBJECT
Could not pair PHOSPHINE, EUPHONISE, OTOSCOPIC, or CHOPHOUSE
SUBJECT – TECHNOPHOBIC
This came quickly. But if I’d spent a second more I could’ve found a solution that put SUBJECT second for a more efficient solve. But I guess this type of solution is preferred by those who dislike using “s” as a connector (I have no such hang ups!)
TI: The main character who’s wary of machines ala Will Smith’s character in I, Robot
Like you, CR, I’m a whatever-works solver, but after PHOTONICS – SUBJECT I tried to go the other way and didn’t get there. Kudos.
I don’t know about “preferred.” Since both nouns and verbs conventionally end in S, it makes finding a word ending in S that fits far more likely, so it would tend to be where people looked first, unless maybe also finding words like OBJECT and INJECT had made them myopic towards that T.

Your 𝑱𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒊𝒕—𝒕𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒏𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒐𝒃𝒊𝒄 reminded me of “A Canticle for Leibowitz” which I first read in 1963. Probably time for another reread.
I’ll check it out, thanks. Part of my education was from the Jesuits.

Phonics/photonics/siphons subjects. Phonics subject,siphon nonsubject(MW) simple effective. Good readers develop into LB solvers!
Yay! I got 1! I don’t usually solve in 2. I made OBJECT & thrn thought to make a SH word but then saw S is next to H and then there’s P so maybe a PH word? I actually worked! So
Phonetics-Subject
Photonics and subject.
PHONETICS – SUBJECT
Took a few minutes to find a decent word, and that was the one
that worked.
Finally got PHONICS SUBJECT after pursuing JETONS and SCOTOPHOBIC sans U for way too long.
ESP. For JEN,of the NICE words; had NO INTENT to INPUT today, BUT NOT PUT UPON, SO if NO ONE will OBJECT, a BIT of IN-HOUSE EUPHONIE
Perhaps after a TONIC, SCONE, or NICOTINE, ONE might NOTICE , ON the LB poster SCENE,our friends,never UPSET, don’t SIT OUT.NO SUBJECT, NO OBJECT, NO CONTENT left OUT,
OBTUSE NONSENSE they don’t SPOUT. NO SNOBS that POUT, NO BOTS that TOUT, whether TEUTON,COPT,JUTE,PICT, or SCOT,from the CONTINENT,IN or OUT,puzzling COUSINS, ONE HOPES,we are about!
Touche!
Bill on a tear!
PHONETICS SUBJECT
Got OA in under a minute for the first time! My fastest solves tend to be 2 word non-OAs. First word I found was inject and it fairly was easy to connect the dots from there
Phonics – Subject
Same. Very quickly.
Oa
PHONETICS / SUBJECT
Another SIPHONS SUBJECT here.
OA quickly.
