TOURISMMALARKEY
Marketises – souly
Marketer Riotously
Market- timorously
You’ll never make Salesman of the Year with that attitude!
Official for me.
All those guide scripts . . .
or, Joe Biden on vacation.
Official as well. If there’s one industry that’s full of malarkey, it’s tourism.
OA here too!
Smirky-soulmates
I think you meant to switch the order but I also got this solution~
Glad I got it mercifully quickly 🙂
RITUALS – SMOKEY at 13/2 was strangely satisfying
Same here, after dallying with the (almost) irresistible Malarkey. I was surprised it wasn’t the official answer, Smokey Rituals being so ancient and universal, from troglodytes and indigenes to BBQs and Popes.
Me too.
Same and wondering:
What exactly does that Bear do in the woods?

I’m happy with SEA OTTER as it’s a two-word name, albeit double-lettered. And that I myself showed up as a currency. 🙂
Delightful OA!
Rituals Smokey – that 70s show?
Exactly, AJ!
RITUALS-SMOKEY also. But had a tough time giving up on TIRAMISU or to stop playing with UKELELES.
MAKERS-RIOTOUSLY. Some welcome fun & games today, once I gave up on AUTOMAKER
Oops. Meant MAKER-RIOTOUSLY
Official. I saw Malarkey, thought it was too obvious/silly, then played with the other possibilities for a while. OA offers interesting commentary.
MAKER-RIOTOUSLY for me, too. Love the OA!
tourism – malarkey
OA here also. At least there is some variety today. And some birds!
🐦 TURKEY, LARK, SKYLARK, SALTATOR, TIT, TUI, TITYRA, OAK TITMOUSE, MOTMOT, TOMTIT, SKUA, SERAM ORIOLE, TIMOR ORIOLE, KAKA, KEA, SORA, TEAL, AUK 🐦🐦 ROLLER, ROOK, SOOTY TIT, TATTLER
Wow, lots!
Thanks for these birds DW. The ones I didn’t know I’m adding to my animals list.
On the branch of a tree
Sat a little Tomtit….
You lot found some great words! TIRAMISU, UKULELE, SOULMATES. All I could see was the bloody KETO! 🤦🏽♀️
🙂
Really wanted SKYLARKS, SKYLARKER OR SKYMARKS (new word to me) to work but ended up with SOULMATES SMIRKY.
AUTOMATISES – SKYLARK
when you’re unfamiliar with the fare, you takeout timorously
TUTORIALS – SMOKEY. Not as efficient as the OA, but takes some of the sting of yesterday away with a quick solve.
This was my solution, after MOLARITY–YUKE was rejected.
Could only manage MATERIAL LEAKS SOURLY, a messy solution.
Soulmates smirky
TUTORIALS – SMOKEY
(Getting better)
Rituals – Smokey
Marketises seriously
market — timorously
Salutatories-smirky
Kia ora! official today
(I wish I had more time for this one. Thanks for all the animals!)
TOURISM
LAND & SEA
There where a motley crew lurks in the deep
The salty elysia* slither and weep.
Ashore, a sea otter’s playtime, amorous
Arouses a hidden spirit, curious,
More than alarmist malarkey, serious!
And far in a field, reclusive and timorous,
A marmoset with a laureate’s soul
Elusively hides his ulterior role.
SKY
Think of an aerie’s elusory mood:
A skylark’s soulmate perched on a rood
A gregarious rook with a blackish hood,
A tattler in the Siberian wood,
An auk in the outback— would speak if they could,
Telling us what we shouldn’t or should,
Their tutorials, smokey with omens of good.
* Colorful sea slugs
Thank you Jill!
There are some really great alliterative illustrations in there!
This is another great one Jill.
Bravo!!
TOKAMAKS – SERIOUSLY, which I imagine is the likely reaction to this from a lot of people: “Tokamaks? Seriously?”.
A tokamak reactor is an experimental kind of nuclear fusion containment system.
Kratoms – seriously
Yay! Something a little different!
Rituals Smokey
Maitakes – Seriously. Mushrooms are nothing to joke about.
FRYPAN – NEPOTISTIC
