Fail today – would never have seen FARMHAND.
FT, OR and CA on the same sides were annoying.
Came up with HITMAN, MATCHMAN, HATCHMAN, FANDOM, FRATCH, HAIRDO, ANTIDOTAL, RAINCOAT, CHAIRMAN, CHOIRMAN, DIATOM, CHAOTIC, AMNIOTIC, INFOMANIA, ARTIFICIAL, DRAMATIC, FRANTIC, ARMCHAIR, MARTIAL and TAMARIND.
Good list.
+TITANIC, NARCOMANIA, CHITCHAT, MATCHCOAT,
me too…
Did find farmhand, but failed to find match
Fandom matriarchal
This looks like the best one
OA after a couple of misfires.
Was trying to use CHARIOTMAN but it is usually hyphenated.
Also FANDOM and MATRIARCHAL.
OA after a couple of false starts.
OA, but only after DICTATORIAL wouldn’t quite work and I saw DOCTRINAL on a word-check site, otherwise would have probably missed it. Already had FARMHAND though… Also saw COMFIT, but wouldn’t have gotten HOLANDRIC if it didn’t pop up elsewhere. (LB doesn’t accept it anyway.)
FARMHAND – DOCTRINAL
As you sow, so shall you reap.
