First time around for the second day in a row.

BLIMP – PREDICTION
Same and fairly efficient too. Weather balloon.
Also blimp-prediction… Montgolfiers’ premonitory dream…
Me too. Got prediction first and worked backwards
“It’s gonna be a Goodyear…”
JINX!
I replied the exact same thing, but didn’t see yours, Bill, until right when I clicked “Post Comment.”
😄
it’s gonna be a goodyear
Same and very efficient!
I had climber repointed!
BLIMP-PREDICTION
Climber Redemption
BLIMP PREDICTION
Same
I also want to know which way the wind doth blow.
another BLIMP-PREDICTION
what I think will happen if the Ozempic is stopped
Steph, I got the same answer today and same TI idea which seems eerily similar, if not identical, to an answer and TI from a few weeks ago: when the health plan stops covering Ozempic!
Same – one that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny??
CLIMBER-REPOINTED
Same
Here’s a variation with an OA that writes itself: Climber-Redpoint. A “redpoint” is when a climber successfully completes a climbing route after practicing on it, as opposed to an “onsight” when the climber succeeds on first attempt without prior knowledge or practice.
Oops—meant TI instead of OA.
I know OA, what is TI?
Pam, I have always taken TI to mean THEMATIC INTEGRITY and enjoy trying to see a theme in my solution. Some of the players make me laugh out loud every day with their hilarious themes.
PREDICTION-NOMBRIL
BORIC-COMPLIMENTED
CLIMBER-REDEMPTION
CLINOMETER-REPROBED
DECEPTION-NOMBRIL
Same!
Me too! And pretty quick!

Same, an improvement over OA
Another BORIC – COMPLIMENTED
Some nice boron you got there.
This was my solution as well. More efficient than the OA.

Why reclimbed the mountain? Because it’s still there.
👍
Captain Kirk is reclimbing the mountain. Why is he reclimbing the mountain? To rehug the mountain, reenvelop that mountain.
🚵♂️
Blimp Prediction
proteinic-climbed
Same!
Limbered deception
PRECEDE – EMBROILMENT
precede – embroilment as well
I’ve missed a few days recently… looking back, there’s been some great stuff on here! Thanks everyone for adding your wit and words!
CLIMBER-REDPOINT
climber repointed
COMPLIMENTED and DOBRO
BLIMP – PREDICTION
COMPLIMENTED – DEBTOR
COMPLIMENTED – DEBRIDE
COMPLIMENTED – DEBRIDED
Also COMPLIMENTED – DEBRIDE.

OA
Compliment and timbered.
Reclimbed – Deponent

Complement timbered.
compliment timbered
Me tooooo!
Debtor complimented
Robotic compliment
Oops robotic complimented
POTENTIOMETER — RECLIMBED
Also played with MONOBROMIDE, but couldn’t pair it.
Another BLIMP PREDICTION, almost instantly.
Seems to be a multitude of combinations. For what it’s worth my contribution is:
Blimp – Prediction.
Climber – Redemption
Protonic – Climbed.
I got fixated on Complimented for a while, but couldn’t get robotic…duh!
COMPLIMENTED — DOBRO
I never expected LB to accept DOBRO (which I thought was a proprietary type of guitar), but it has accepted XEROX in the past so who knows.
BLIMP – PERIODONTIC
Ditto.
CEREBRIC* COMPLIMENTED
PERIODONTIC–CLIMB
