JUNTAS – SKYBOARD*
I had ADJUTANTS – SKYBOARD*
Comment board ate my comment again three-quarters of the way through… I was trying to say, the rejection of Skyboard spoiled my plans for Juntas too, leaving only the OA, as far as I can see. OTOH, Junks Storyboard has good TI. I’m picturing Hitchcock ripping up the early versions of Jsmaica Inn. Too bad he didn’t scrap the whole project.
Me too.
OA
OA. Started with STARBOARD. Also had BANJOS-STURDY for a bit (no K).
BANJOS-STURDY was as close as I got today. I didn’t see STORYBOARD…
Didn’t get a solution, but also had several near misses including (Banjos – Sturdy).
(Roundabout – Tusky) no J
(Roundabout – Sojourn) no KY
(Outbounds – Starky) no J
Found Junkbonds, bonjur, and Adjustor, none accepted.
Other promising words:
Outdrank
Turnabouts
Adjuratory
Starbursts
Stardust
Bingo (OA). Surprised that ADJUSTOR(S) was not accepted.
It’s spelled ADJUSTER
OA recalling STORYBOARD from a short time ago.
…and is JUNKBOND(S) not one word?….
Yeah, speedy solve because of that being in the OA this time. You know, someone oughta make a movie about… oh, never mind.
hehe
OA
I started with STARBOARD and that left JUNKY but no way to connect, and then I found STORYBOARD and that did it.
OA!
Same journey to the oa.
At last – I can use STORYBOARD :-0 OA and another quick solve today. I bet tomorrow’s going to be a head banger!
OA, finally I get one quickly!
JUNKS – STORYBOARD
Before that:
JUNKS – SOB – BASTARDY
Sins of the father…
OA in very little time.
TI: this happens when the animator gets frustrated
JUNKS-STORYBOARD(S)
After following a few promising trails that were dead ends.
Wanted SKYJUNK to be a word. Surprised ADJUSTOR not accepted. It’s in the US Scrabble dictionary.
OA after being stuck with STARBOARD for a while. Played around with ABUNDANT too.
OA and surprised to see show up. Had to fight my way to regular ole OA 🙁
OA. Not too quickly, but faster than I get a lot of them in. Was annoyed by Junkbonds and Adjustor not being accepted as well. Also really didn’t like the Y and A being on the same side preventing Junkyard from being an option. On to the Next!
OA after playing around with lots of other long starting words, all of which left me unable to use the J.
junks – storyboard
My closest 3w was JUNKS STARBOARD DRY. Somehow I missed Story. Other 3w: Junky Yours Standby, and Jousts Standby York (was surprised York is okay). Roustabouts Sojourn needed DK Y.
Junks – Storyboard
OA but it took me a fair while. These are the other words I found in order:
ADJUST/S, STUDY, BANK/S, BOYBAND/S, OUTDRANK, OUTBORN, JANKY, BURSARY, UN/JOYOUS, STARBOARD/S and OUTBOARD/S.
similar for me but with some different words along the way.
My first solve, 3-word:
ADJUTANTS SOB BROSKY*
LB didn’t like BROSKY – it shows up in Urban Dictionary but most sites spell it “broski”.
I had great hopes for STANDARD but no one word match and hard for me to see even a two word match.
Same with TANKARDS. LB rejected:
Tankabouts
Skyborn
Junkbonds
Adjuratory
Justabout and
Justdandy
– you can see I was grasping at straws with those last two.
I tried a long time also with Junkyard(s) before I tried JUNKS.
OA but surprised Junks was accepted.
I also liked adjusts-skyborn (e) but needed an e 🙁
JUNKS / STORYBOARD Was hoping to make SKANKY work, but no love…
