The answers are:
TEACUPPERIWINKLE
WINKLER – RECAPTURE. Pretty sure PERIWINKLE was part of an earlier solution.
Same here!
Same here. I tried CAPUT* – TWINKLER but caput wasn’t accepted.
“kaput” is spelled with a K. Didn’t help with this puzzle, but might be useful in the future
Me, too. KAPUT was accepted but couldn’t do anything with it. OA for me.
Same! WINKLER – RECAPTURE 🙂
I got WRINKLER-RECAPTURE too. The TI for the OA is very obvious. But trying to get back that old magic after something jumps the shark is a good TI for our solution (and has an extra layer of meaning 😉)
I’m not sure why I didn’t find the OA: I found PERIWINKLE easily but somehow I didn’t put TEACUP with it! 😀
WINKLER RECAPTURE – also thought of Happy Days reruns.
Always good for a laugh, MVUA! Thanks!
OA here. They’re the twin Poms from next door.
I found teacup but not periwinkle lol. Went with twinkler-recapture. Need to look up twinkler lol
Same here. Had periwinkle but could never find teacup (duh); settled for wrinkle-recapture
Twinkler – Recapture
OA.
OA here today for, I think, the third day on a row.
Went back to check, and it’s actually six days in a row for the OA, but BREAKUP—PSYCHO did me in.
TWINKLER – RECAPTURE.
I’m back with a solution after two days in a row without one. I will surely lose confidence if today is another failure.
Same as Radio: less efficient than others, but reminiscent of childhood wishes:
⭐️ TWINKLER- RECAPTURE ⭐️
Twinkle Earcup
Twinkle Earcup here too, but I didn’t think earcup was a word. Went for Caput Twinkler instead, which is not accepted
Had Periwinkle but not Teacup. Arrgh!
Same for me.
TWINKLER – RECAPTURE
Getting your jewelry out of hock.
😄 This!
I found the similar, but a bit less efficient TWINKLIER-RECAPTURE.
Same. I’m happy to get a 2word solution, getting OA isn’t as important
TWINKLER / RECAPTURE here too.
TWINKLER – RECUPERANCE

TWINKLE – EARCUP
Me too
That was my answer as well!
Mine as well!
TWINKLE—EARCUP 13/2
TEACUP—PERIWINKLE OA
PERIWINKLER⁺—RECAPTURER⁺
⁺ OED
PAPERCUT* TWINKLE
Periwinkles – Recapture here!
I was close with these before finding recapture …
Periwinkler – Recruit (no A)
Periwinkler – Recart (no U)
*Periwinkler – Recapture
Good ones, Bruce.
I was investigating RECAPTURER just to see where it exists. It’s not in LB. It’s not in MW. It is a PSW, and it is in OED.
I was reading up on some Merriam-Webster vs Oxford perspectives. Interesting. It seems generally accepted that MW leans American and OED leans British. Also some contrasts between modern vs obsolete words have been put forth.
You’re on your own special LB level Mark 😂
Maybe you need more of a challenge.
What if the game was a 5 sided polygon with 2 sides having (3) letters and 3 sides having (2) letters. Still 12 total. Would that be harder🤔
Letter Poly’d 😂
Looks like we have a group here that could set that up and see.
OA although still looking for a pair for REPTILIAN !!
TWINKLIER — RECAPTURE
Couldn’t do much with PAPERCLIP or TWEAKER
My first solution, still dreaming about honey:
PANCAKE ERUPT TWIRL
My first 2-word solution:
CAPUT** TWINKLIER
LB didn’t like Caput!
Next :
TWINKLIER RECAPTURE
Twinklier is not as efficient as Twinkler, but it is shinier, I guess!
(T)WINKLER-RECAPTURE
In about half an hour.
OA after papercut didn’t work
TWINKLE EARCUP for me
Closest I got was Caput – Twinklier, with the rejected Caput.🙄
Twinkle earcup
teacup – periwinkle
Gave up on this one. Glad people found alternate solutions that didn’t require PERIWINKLE. Went through TWERK and TWEAKER combos, but never found TWINKLE. 🤦♂️
