UNCHEWABLE-EARTHMAN
To Serve Man?
Classic!
Ditto and same quote popped into my head. 👍🏻
OA today!
Happy Birthday 🎂🎈 , Roberto, 🎊🎉!
Lots of “UN” words rejected today. I wanted UNCHEWABLE to work. Seems like a layup. UNMATURABLE was also rejected. And my favorite rejected word was NUMBERCRUNCHER.
Same
BRAWL══LUNCHMEAT══TABLEWARE
A triple made out of pairs!
✔
Good catch!
BRAWL – LUNCHMEAT
Result of a bologna shortage before the snowstorm
OR
Ham and Pastrami walked in to a bar… lol
Same. Wished I’d seen BRAWL, more efficient. I’d seen TRAWL. Silly me!
LUNCHMEAT – TABLEWARE for me as well. So close.
Why is HERCULEAN not a valid word?
Capital H
This was a day of defeat for me.
WEALTH ENCUMBER Use all letters but I had to connect them with HERE.
Likewiae CLUBMEN WRATH with NEW for a connector.
I went quite happily with the OA, Brawl Lunchmeat. No doubt your Lunchmeat Tableware will be part of the weaponry. I’ll sit the battle out, though. I mesn, I hate olive loaf as much as the next guy, but I ain’t gonna fight about it.
Very inefficient:
UNRENEWABLE – ENTRENCHMENT.
UNRENEWABLE—EMBRANCHMENT°
Me too
UNRENEWABLE – EMBRANCHMENT° (OED) 23/2
“The Road Not Taken”
And UNRENEWABLE – ENTRENCHMENT 23/2
The Slough of Despond.
Me too!
WELCHER —> RAMBUTAN
Don’t promise me tropical fruit and then not deliver. 😡
I got this one too!
OA.
OA here as well. Pretty quick.
UNMALTABLE—EACHWHERE,
UNMELTABLE—, UNMUTABLE—, UNTAMABLE—, UNTAMEABLE.
BRAWL—LUNCHMEAT
BEACHWEAR—RUMBLEMENT
Good ones with EACHWHERE and RUMBLEMENT!
Thanks!

LEATHERWARE^—ENCUMBER

Mark, And I tried leatherware encumber . Should have done what I usually do when LB doesn’t accept a good word, just Google “is……. a word?”
Chewable – Enurement
Same
Same. Like getting used to eating taffy.
CHEWABLE / ENUREMENT here, as well.
I GOT OA, BUT SURE WISH IT COULD HAVE BEEN REVERSED TO MAKE A “LUNCHMEAT BRAWL” 🤕🥴 THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD WORDS HIDDEN IN LB TODAY
i’m only here to tell you we were ::this close:: to getting BUTTMUNCH
I’ve never seen LB use 2 of the same letters in a puzzle. Do they ever?
No, it is not allowed. Spelling Bee, yes, LB, no.
LUNCHMEAT TABLEWARE
UNRENEWABLE ENTRENCHMENT
CHEWABLE ENURNMENT
Got the second one.
Ditto, eventually
WEATHERABLE – ENCUMBER
Huh. When I tried WEATHERABLE, the game wouldn’t take it. I actually tried UNWEATHERABLE first, and when that got rejected, I tried WEATHERABLE and that got rejected too.
Same here. Neither WEATHERABLE nor UNWEATHERABLE were accepted, though both should be. Tell a sailor that there is no such thing as an unweatherable squall and see what reaction you get.
What with finding a continual stream of words like LUNCH, LUNCHER, LUNCHMEAT, MEAT, BUN, TABLE, TABLEWEAR, NUT, CUCUMBER, RANCH, BAR, RUM, CRUNCH, CRUNCHER, MUNCH, MUNCHER, CHEW, CHEWER, CHEWABLE, I found myself getting hungrier and hungrier working today’s LB. 😂
The fast few days the same..my wok was overflowing yesterday…and I’m rather ashamed to have tried lunchmeat as it’s luncheon meat where I come from. And Brawl Lunchmeat sums up my primary school life.
“Good game” today.
🤣
I got the foodfight solution also
Yes, but beware the wrath of the Ultracucumber!
(Ultracucumber only didn’t work cause it’s a proper noun or hyphenated or something)
BRAWL — LUNCHMEAT
I spent a half hour trying to pair MALTREATMENT, BUMBLER, LURCHER, BRUNCHER, TRAWLER, and CHEWABLE, but couldn’t see anything. Found LUNCH and then LUNCHMEAT and had found BRAWL earlier. Never saw TABLE.
brawl – lunchmeat
BEWARE – LUNCHMEAT sans a connector
bc it’s fair warning
or fare warning
I found BRAWL as well, but not at the same time as LUNCHMEAT 🙀
Besides previously mentioned found some playful solutions:
CHEWABLE EMU UNTRUE
WARBLER RANCHMAN NUT
CHERUB BLUEMAN* NEWT
BRAWL / LUNCHMEAT
Weatherable(OED) encumber
Unentrenchment* tableware
Beachwear rumblement- only one LB actually accepted
And unrenewable entrenchment
Tried carbuncle turntable enablement tubercular clubmen unclench weather wealth health mutabletremble. Seemed there would be more answers today than found
BRAWL – LUNCHMEAT – OA (didn’t take long!)
Another WELCHER-RAMBUTAN here
OA
CHEWABLE – ENUREMENT Within about 30 seconds! A rare LB moment for me :))
UNCHEWABLE* – EMERANT*
LB needs to expand its vocabulary…
Tried valiantly with ELEMENTAL, UNLEARNABLE, WEARABLE, BATHTUB, NUMERABLE, BLANCHE, BATHTUB, CURABLE but you win this round LB.
Defeated today. I even had BRAWL but never got lunch. And tried BEACHBUM but NYT d8dn’t want to play.
Better tomorrow I hope.
UNRENEWABLE – ENTRENCHMENT, unfortunately with lots of repeat letters
