Parkland – *Domatic
Didn’t know catkin was a word. Played with Palindromic for a while before getting tropical landmark
TROPICAL – LANDMARK. In 2 minutes.
Checking on my besties Miss Irim and Kanishk-boy later.
PALINDROMIC-CATKIN here. Kicking myself for not seeing any of the easier options! Got too hung up on no CK.
Well done, RF, just waiting on our third. Cheering you on, Kanishk!
Good luck, everyone, happy Sunday!
I’m in the same boat as RF on this one! TROPICAL – LANDMARK in under 15 minutes, I missed the more efficient OPTICAL, but both great solutions nonetheless with nice TI!
The triumvirate is complete! Well done, both, and a happy Sunday to all!

Complicit tankard. Happy Mothers Day.this puzzle was solved while a six year old grandaughter was constantly interrupting me to show me what she was making for her mother and of course I had to pay close attention. Took ten minutes haha
Tropical – landmark here! Need to go see one of these on this lovely Mother’s Day.
COMPLICIT TANKARD.
Compital* Tankard also.
*OED, MW
CLIPART TANKDOM*
*Collective world of tanks, in terms of military vehicles and storage tanks. As well as “think tanks”
“New Words Self-Defined” 1919
“The Oil Weekly” 1921.
“Do Think Tanks Matter?” 2002
Was one of those a typo? COMPITAL linking to TANKARD?
Tropical & Landmark
Quite easy today. Initially, I thought the K word might be car park. But after having found Tropical which I have used a few times, Landmark was an easy find.
Palindromic + catkin
PARKLAND-DOLOMITIC
Complicit – Tankard
Tropical and landmark came first out of the box.
OA
not an illusion
COMPLICIT TANKARD here too.
Political Landmark
