I was so close to that, but wound up with FRONTAGE-EPICURE
So MANY wonderful word options with difficult pairings!
Where are you, Bernie?
This is my third attempt to reply, the site keeps eating my words… Anyway, thanks for asking, Goldie! I’m getting to LB later and later these days, and sometimes not at all, as the busy season gets underway.
Finally got around to it today and quickly found the OA (the Elevation Burger of candy store franchises?). It came with a little enough struggle I figured it was OA material. But this array is wonderfully fruitful!
Me too.
I had the OA, conceptually, but forgot how to spell nougat. Sigh!
same
I got FACTIONER and REPUGNANT. Thanks for sharing your answers! This is always the best part after I play. 🙂
Purger Refraction
less efficient GROUPER-REFRACTION
Another GROUPER – REFRACTION here. Should be lots today 🙂
I came up with punger – refraction
Same here
purger – refraction as well
UNPERFECTION – NAG
OA and rather quickly!
Gotcha!
Got the OA several times this week.
Same here, Mica.
Ditto. Sadly, I couldn’t find anything to go with ORANGUTAN…
He’s back! OA for me. Now I feel rather peckish.
Yes or the old fashioned orangutang either though perfection right there seperated by a nap or gap. Also ran OPTICIAN alas NERF GUN right there
OA.
FUNGIC—COPARENT
🍄 👫
Sounds a little unhealthy, that one 😉
Yes, but it was either that or COPARTNER, so I went for the 14/2. 🙂 ☕
👍
Moldy oldies?
🤭👍!
FRAGRANCE—ERUPTION
🌺 🌋
Mark, you got some great ones today!
I also got: FRAGRANCE – ERUPTION
As well as the less efficient:
FUNGIC – CONTRACEPTION
and, I’ll add:
UNPERFORATE – ECIG
PERFECTER – REGURGITATION
Nice Mvua, lot’s of options today! I’m looking at the “mammals list” now.
COUNTERFEITER—REPUGNANT
… And after being arrested and jailed, FORGER – RECUPERATION.
Great theme, strengthened. ✔
Always strive for perfection in nougat. 😊
FRANGIPANE-ENCOUNTER
If you’ve still appetite after the nougat. . .
Ha ha – difficult to resist when you like both!
This is great!
GRAPEFRUIT – TROUNCE
When citrus gets rambunctious. . .
Love this!
Deployed in the Battle of the Bulge after all that nougat and frangipane.
POUNCER-REFRIGERATE
Same! good to be back lol
Ok So I got foreigner -recuperate
FENCER REPURGATION
GRAFTER – RECUPERATION
I haven’t won in so many days, so I was happy to have the endless options today. So many words I didn’t even write them all down.
FRONTIER REPUGNANCE
Excellent!
I was scrolling and thought I somehow might have been unique today. But as usual my only comment is same….Frontier- repugnance. It’s only 7:30 and coffee is still brewing. So I still feel like it’s a win.
CAPTURER – REFRIGERATION
OA for me but I prefer all the other combinations found.
Putrefaction – Nongenetic
Putrefaction
Nag
Grip
Putrefaction
Also Group Putrefaction – playing out in the GOP.
Couldn’t resist going back and found
FOREIGNER – RECUPERATION (over scheduled tourist effect?)
Love the variety for a change. Seems like a long stretch of fairly constrained puzzles this week. Have fun all!
FACTIONER – REGROUP
an order for unity!
Official and pretty quick
GRAPEFRUIT–TROPICANA
and, another GROUPER–REFRACTION
GRAPEFRUIT TROUNCE !
Unperfection – nag
That describes my mother in two words – perfectly!

I figured that wasn’t going to be the official answer — seems a little charged.
Picturer Refrigeration
Quickly got the OA for the fourth day in a row, so I went back and found FACTIONER – REGROUP. Lots of great unique solutions today, and feels like a lot more are hiding in there!
Pigface – Encounter
This is cute and funny!
Reminds me of the time (before phone cameras) when blind dates were a thing.
Also Pigface Enroute. To where, I wonder? A pie-eating contest? A match of The Dozens?
grouper-refraction
FOREGUT – TROPICANA
Not a scrabble word, so not sure why NYT is allowing it, but I love my juice.
Pagetic Counterfeit
Grafter Recuperation along with many others.
Inefficient as hell but I don’t care. Great TI and I do need to recuperate after yesterday’s disaster!
