Relatively easy today thanks to the Q
SQUEAKS – SUNFLOWER.
Sunflowers Squeak for me.
Flower power of sorts?
Same here.
One more here
Original, reversible, but less efficient solution for me…
[ SUNQUAKES – SUNFLOWERS ]
😁
Flowers – Sunquakes too

You are correct! AUTHENTIC, indeed! Yay!!! 👍🤓

REM
UGN
LSA
HIB
CLUE: Simple presentation. 13/2.
RAGMAN — NAILBRUSH 15/2
Hey, Sir BILL DUFFIN,
RAGMAN – NAILBRUSH is missing an E.
HUHUHU. 🥴😵💫
Clue: The OA starts with a G.
Hey RF – i’ll take it on:
GARNISH HUMBLE
13/2
though actually I think GARNISH HUMBLES sounds better grammatically – parsley garnish always humbles me because I don’t know what to do with it – eat it or ignore it?
Hey, Mr.McBEE 🐝,
Double thumbs up! 👍👍
Yay!!! You got the OA!
GARNISH – HUMBLE.
I agree with you. It is much better with S. Congrats! 🤓🤗
☢️🌹
Garnish Humble.
New to me. I need to get out and drink more.
This country still needs way better internet 🙁
Hey, FRANZzIE,
You got the OA too. Yay! Congrats! 👍🤓

LVM, 👍on squark.
I think it’ll be discovered, someday.
From M-W:
Squark: the hypothetical boson analogue of a quark postulated under the rules of supersymmetry.
Travelling this wknd, I’ll be in, out, and about. Happy Day to the mom LBers!
Thanks, Mark! Safe travels.
SUNFLOWERS SQUARK really quickly after only managing to get a 3 yesterday.
OA, yay!
QUERULOUS and SOULFUL were nice finds.
Yes indeed. In fact, the former is part of my threebie solution: QUERULOUS-SWANK-KERF.
SQUEAKERS – SUNFLOWER
🌻 You can’t sneak up on em! 😆
I’m irritated KAFKAESQUE was not accepted. Yes it’s “derived” from a proper noun but the word itself is a common noun
I couldn’t agree more, CR! In fact I was quite outraged by the rejection. I take some comfort from its apparent unpairability.
Yeah, a lot of what LWM said.
OA
Spent a lot of time with SEAQUAKES and FOURSQUARE
Seaquakes – sunquakes makes another reversible solution with a disaster movie theme.
Quarks – Sunflower
QUARKS-SUNFLOWER also.
quarks – sunflower as well
sunflowers-squeak
SUNFLOWERS – SQUARK
FLOWERS-SUNQUAKE
Sunflowers squeak
Do they, though? And if so, what do they Squealk? Perhaps each Squeaks “Sunflower!”
A quick OA for mothers day! Happy mothers day LB mothers!
Messed around with SQUEAKERS for awhile until I saw SUNFLOWER, then it was just a matter of preference. Went with SUNFLOWERS – SQUEAK. 🌻🎶
Kept trying to make FOURSQUARE work to no avail. Saw Flowers early on, but finally landed on SUNFLOWERS and the rest was easy. Happy Mother’s Day all – cause mothering is a wonderful quality available to all. Go out there and gives someone some loving today!
I agree! 😎
OA
SQUEAKERS SUNFLOWER and
SUNFLOWERS SQUEAKER
for me also – and I just realized writing this that I wasted some ERs.
But before that I had:
ENFLOWERS* SQUEAKER
(again wasting an ER
and
SQUEAKERS SELFOWN*
but LB didn’t like those.
