QUESOOLIGARCH
ECLOGUES SQUARISH
i kind if thought that would be the OA, after LB accepted ECLOGUES but not about a dozen other words that i tried to pair with SQUARISH!
From Wikipedia:
“An eclogue is a poem in a classical style on a pastoral subject. Poems in the genre are sometimes also called bucolics. The term is also used for a musical genre thought of as evoking a pastoral scene.”

Nlce! Had CLOGS SQUARISH but couldn’t use the E.
ELEGIACS-SQUARISH-HOG
Took a long time too. So I gave in to using 3.
OLIGARCHIES — SUQ
Found OLIGARCH and the OLIGARCHIES. I saw SUQ used in past puzzles (never heard of it before then) so this was a no-brainer.
Love this solve – SUQ so helpful in scrabble, as well as QAT and QAID
OLIGARCHIES – SEQUEL for a less eloquent solve.
Oh wow, now I have QAT and QAID in my toolbox. Thanks!
ARGOSIES-SQUELCH
same
Here too. Because loose lips sink ships. I do like the OA, though. The Big Cheese of cheese…
OLIGARCHS SEQUEL
Ironman II, III, and IV.
CLIQUES. SURCHARGE. EGO
Yes they do.
OLIGARCHIC CLIQUES. Not very efficient but I like the TI.
SURCHARGES went nowhere but that’s probably not the experience oligarchic cliques get…
Archaeologic Cliques…
(even less efficient)
the coterie that digs your guys up later.
No solidarity in the trenches.
ECOLOGIES* – SQUARISH.
Horologic – caciques.
Obscure, rarely used and horrible words, just like the OA
me too. Nice one!
Rageaholics squarish
That’s a primo answer, Mary!
The similar RAGEAHOLICS – SQUELCH.
Oligarchs Squelch
Same. Immediate.
Congrats. I couldn’t find anything to go with squelch. I ended up with archaeologic cliques
Same
Not seeing it today. ORGIES-SQUELCH (no A, plus no fun)
QUAHOG(S) and LICORICE(S) with no link.
eclogues – squarish
Archaeologic cliques
A minimal 3,
AIRS – SQUELCH – HOG (14)
oligarchs-squelch
Horologic caciques – very quickly
Nice! I had caciques too but got stuck on hierologic which didn’t work.
CLIQUES SHORAGE*
Got to the OA eventually after losing loads of time trying to pair something with squarish. Some of my attempts were tenuous but ECOLOGIES seemed ok – LB wasn’t having it though.
This one took me ages. Ended up with OLIGARCHIES – SQUARISH
OA almost on sight. Sometimes (not often) you just see it.

I found several near misses, mostly WITH SQUARISH, SQUELCH and CLIQUES but they always failed to link or left an orphaned letter. So,,,sigh,,, failure.
