TWANGGRIDLOCK
TAWING – GRIDLOCK…
🤷♂️
My third defeat in a row!
WILDCAT TOKING GIRL
Twanging Gridlock
Just because….
Same… Twanging – Gridlock.
I didn’t realize I dint need the “ing” 😂
Same
Cocktail Lowriding
Love it!
Nice finish. I had LOWRIDING and couldn’t come up with the other half. Which is annoying because I had both COCK and TAIL on my word list. Of course the same was true of both GRID and LOCK. Eventually I noted that they were both there and arrived at the OA. But a ridiculous amount of time was invested in this puzzle.
Same! Took forever too.
OA and I agree – it took a ridiculously long time!
TAWING – GRIDLOCK. who knew TAWING was a word?
OA
OA too. So satisfying after overcoming the pesky R after a long while. Really thought at first this is an easy array because of possible -ING words.
TWANG / GRIDLOCK too.
OA
DOWNCODING-GIRLTALK
WANTONING-GRIDLOCK
DOWNCODING-GIRLTALK here too.
deciphering Valley Girl dialect?
TWANG – GRIDLOCK
Southern discomfort.
Same answer and similar TI. Victoria Ratliff holding up the drug store queue with her meds order.
TI: Atlanta roadrage!
TRIAD-DOWNCLOCKING*
*DOWNCLOCKING good in WIKTIONARY
GRIDLOCKING-GATWO*
*GATWO good in WIKTIONARY
LB doesn’t like GRIDLOCKING
I don’t care what LB likes. Anything else?
*CAIRD-DOWNTALKING*
*CAIRD good in OED, Merriam-Webster, Collins, Wiktionary, Scrabble US (TWL)
*DOWNTALKING good in OED but hyphenated
Wantoning Gridlock was what I saw first… I didn’t really expect wantoning to be a word… but here we are!
COCKTAIL-LOWRIDING
Took a while.
WANTONING – GRIDLOCK
I kept WANTING GRIDLOCK and LB kept GRIDLOCKING WANTING.
twang – gridlock
TAWING-GRIDLOCK
When LB took TWIRKING, which I tried on a lark since it’s generally spelled with an E, I thought for sure I’d be able to find a connecting word using the remaining C, O, L, D, and A. Alas.
Found TWANGING first and didn’t bother to shorten it to the more efficient OA. Still taking the win.
So far only triad dockwalking and acrid downtalking which are both borderline
TAWING GRIDLOCK here as well. Got sidetracked by WILDCAT and CATWALK
Yes Simon! I wanted either WILDCAT or CATWALK to be part of the solve. I’m a cat lover lol.
Quickly got DOWNCODING GIRLTALK, first got Girltalk and then Downcoding and was somewhat surprised both were accepted. Was going to continue but just went with it. Glad to see the OA was a superior option.
Nice!
Twang – Gridlock
