KNOWABLEEIGHT
OA
I knew it in less than 8 minutes
OA right away.
OA but took a while, drowning in options.
Haahaaa. Same.
I almost responded with, “Me too” but then got the pun! Very nice.
Chuckle. OA here as well before the end of the commute.
Same. An easy solve today after a slog yesterday.
Ain’t that the truth
Bingo!
KNOWABLE / EIGHT
KNOWABLE – ENLIGHT. Totally missed EIGHT, but I stopped thinking about it when ENLIGHT worked.
Same: both the solution and the punny TI 😉
Knight – Towable…
parked his horse illegally.
Knight – Towable here too
Same
Same here, too
Same.
KNOWABLE-EIGHT
Was looking for pairs for KNIGHT and KNOWHOW along the way to OA…
Good interpretation!
NIGHTOWL – LIKEABLE
Same. Conan!
Same as AH!!!
Same
ME TOO! NIGHTOWL – LIKEABLE (took a while)
hobgoblin – newtake…
Turns out, they’re unionizing and taking up farming. The moor the merrier.
😊
Same reference for me.
Hobgoblins 3: Ghost Protocol
KNIGHT / TOWABLE
Same answer
Same, I thought for sure I’d be the only one that found this answer!
Knightage Elbow
Same
TIGHTKNIT-TOWABLE
NIGHTOWL-LINKABLE
KNOWABLE-ENLIGHT
Same.
Hobgoblin- Newtake
I have no idea what newtake is, just typed it in to see if it would trigger something.
BOBWEIGHT-*TANKABLE
*TANKABLE good in Urban Dictionary
*KNIGHTABLE-ENOW*
*KNIGHTABLE good in Wiktionary
*ENOW good in OED, Merriam-Webster, Collins, Wiktionary, Scrabble US (TWL)
I cannot – yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do “must” and “cannot” meet? Yet I must – but I cannot!
– Ro-Man, ‘Robot Monster’ (1953)
NIGHTOWL-LIKEABLE
Even though I found LIGHTWEIGHT, I neglected to see EIGHT
OA today
Knowable eight/eighth quickly
Wonk knightable only found knightable in wictionary but it’s such a good TI . I know our UK friends can probably name many wonks who have achieved knighthood
KNOWABLE — EIGHT
Got KNOW, then KNOWABLE and EIGHT was right there (that has happened several times lately for me).
Spent time with ALIENATION, OBLIGATION, NATIONAL, BINATIONAL, GOBLIN, HOBGOBLIN, INELIGIBLE. -TION, -ABLE, -IBLE suffixes available so I expect lots of different combinations.
Knightable elbow/ elbowlike
Tonight tweakable (OED) plans r for the evening can be altered as needed
INALIENABLE, as in “we hold these truths to be self evident…….. inalienable rights from creator . Honor those who have fallen in defense of them.
OA
Because I think I’ve seen a propensity for LB to use tech jargon when it appears in a given puzzle, when I quickly picked up on HOTLINK, I spent a good while trying to find a match using the remaining letters W, A, G, E, and B. But when I finally moved on, I immediately next found TWILIGHT, whose remaining letters led me straight to KNOWABLE, but with LIGHT still on the brain, I didn’t see the EIGHT right in front of me but made my connector ENLIGHT. It was going to be ENLIGHTEN, but I stumbled when the T wouldn’t connect to the E and so just gave ENLIGHT a go, and what do you know? It took, so.
KNOWABLE – ENLIGHT as well.
The extra letters enabled word 2 to have a nice positive punch. I’ll take it when I can get it.
KNOWABLE ENLIGHT also
And
HOBGOBLIN NEWTAKE
Was hoping to match BOWKNOT
knowable – eight
ALEKNIGHT* – TOWBOAT
ALEKNIGHT* – TOWABLE
but I push for a valid LB solution, so finally:
KNIGHT – TOWABLE
OA, but took longer than I would like to admit.
