      1. Same WHIRLWIND – DIABETIC. Found first word immediately, played around with BANDWIDTH, HINDBRAIN, BRACELET, BANDIT, INDICATE, HAIRBAND, etc

    1. Bandwidth-Heraldic for me as well. Was interesting that both Balance and Withdrawal were in this puzzle as well, which uses all the letters but didn’t connect. Would have been an awesome TI.

  1. the BANDWIDTH-HERALDIC… the guys with flags hanging from their horns that play when the king comes out.
    “Doth thy dare tooteth thine horn thusly!?”
    “Verily, man… I’m width the band!”

  2. BANDWIDTH—HAIRLACE²
    BANDWIDTH—HEBRAICALⁿ
    BANDWIDTH—HERACLEIDⁿ
    BANDWIDTH—HERALDIC
    BANDWIDTH—HERALDICAL°
    BANDWIDTH—HERETICAL
    BANDWIDTH—HIERATICAL
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ² two words, ⁿ proper name, ° OED

    1. An LB short story:

      I seek the WHITE WHALE! Is it a NARWHAL? No, he’s a Sperm WHALE. He’s BALD, and covered in BARNACLEs.

      WATERLANDIANⁿ? NETHERLANDICⁿ? ICELANDICⁿ?. No, he hails from the waters around IRELANDⁿ.

      He’s a TRIATHLETE TITAN in the open WATER. He can swim many HECTARE in almost an ELECTRIC manner.

      Yet, like a BRANCARDIER°—in—REWITHDRAWAL°, I shall CELEBRATE when I INCINERATE his INERTIA, at the HANDWRIT°—TABERNACLE.

      The End.

        1. Thanks! I was determined to weave a story with those provocative word pairs in the last paragraph. The Moby theme was a freebie. 🙂

  3. NETHERWARD — DIABETICAL

    Found DIABETIC early and after finding NETHERWARD, I tried putting the L on the end and it was accepted. I have never seen/used DIABETICAL before but I’ll take it. 🙂

    Found INTER/INERTIA/INTERTIAL and BACTERIA/BACTERIAL but could not pair any of them.

  4. No solution for me today. I really wanted BATHWATER to work, considering the recent PITCHING GRANDBABY solution.

  5. BANDWIDTH HIERATICAL* (Collins)

    BANDWIDTH HERACLITIC*
    *OED but capitalized

    HENCEWITH* HANDLEBAR (disgust at a certain type of facial hair, amen!)

    *Obsolete, as in:
    “Hencewith your flippant epilogue, that tries
    To wipe the virtuous tears from British eyes…”
    –Thomson

        1. I had spelled it wrong the first time. 🙂 Tell me Mark, how do you make that check sign in your comment?

          1. You can also search for the Character Map applet on your PC and it will bring up just about any character you’d like. Select one and copy it, and then paste it into these comments (or anywhere else).

  6. Got to be better but BEHINDWARD dialect or what LB doesn’t accept. Or BEHINDWARD (OED) dialectical or Marxist direction

      1. I had withdrawer (OED and Merriam -Webster) with rebalance, but “withdrawer” not allowed by NYT, unfortunately. Found bandwidth-heretical later.

  7. After long day travelling I relaxed with my puzzles but fell asleep with bandwidth drawn out on my phone. Woke up after nodding off and thought I’d do a simple three and get to bed….but heraldic was there waiting to solve it. I do think the brain continues puzzling when we are sleeping…..

    1. Bandwidth – Heraldic….
      Spent a lot of time this morning. Left it for a busy day and evening.
      Just got back to it at 8:30 with a last wisp of optimism. Thank
      goodness I gave it one last try!

  8. Bandwidth heraldic. Bandwidth heretical. Got bandwidth first word of the day and quit on it too quickly. Off and on hours later spotted heraldic heretical . Got too many great words not to try a little more!

  9. Tried ( prob too tired to see connections)barehand handlebar inebriate athletically incinerate bacterial waterland wetland bathwater water bath recalcinate handcart tabernacle Catawba handwrite BEHINDWARD barnacle wherewithal dialectian

    1. Electrician bacterial carnitine barbarian beans bernician diabetic dietician herniate reincarnate . Not beans – bwana banana and more
