Thank you so much!
MIGHTIER – REBOUND
Nice and simple!
Same. I was sure that would be the oa, took me seconds.
MIGHTIER – REBOUND here as well. A Dennis Rodman TI. Looks like a puzzle that will have a ton of solutions. Was annoyed I couldn’t finish OUTNUMBERING. But not too much of a struggle today.
Almost instantly.
Me too, Dugald.

The stew of indecision.

Haha. Same solution but I bow to your creativity.

It would be nice if people submitted only one solution that they actually found. Listing many possible answers is not particularly helpful or encouraging to others who are thrilled to have solved the puzzle on their own without tech help. However, if you are a genius, it’s ok not to show off.
so many solves today…
Here’s another : Thermidor/rebounding
(Found thermidor using the word-guess method I learned
from posts here…thanks!)
Curious about the word-guess method. (And was sure the OA would be DITHERING GUMBO.)
Hi,
I was referring to a few previous postings that mentioned hitting on a word
that they didn’t know the definition of (or even if it was a real word) that
gave them a fun surprise when Letterboxed accepted it.
DROUGHTIER RENUMBER
And BRIDGEMENT* THOU
*OED
MIDNIGHT – TUBER
OOPS, MY BAD. LEFT OUT THE “O”.
My adblocker has been discontinued for my particular type of phone (older model) and now I am bombarded with popups that make it virtually (pardon the pun) impossible to use this forum anymore. Anyone else have this problem?
I use bravo. Nice and clean–game only. My firefox had way too much junk.
Typo. It’s brave.
I use it on my computer. Just type in brave.com. Went round in circles on phone till I got to it directly this way.
Thx a lot Amber. I will check it out.
Brightener and rhodium
BOUGHTEN – NIMROD
Boughten nimrod lol
UNBOUGHT* TERMITID*
*both in MW
DROUGHT – TIMBERMEN (Timbermen was a blind shot but…voila!)
Dithering – Gumbo
I thought Midnight would work but I could connect it with the remaining letters. I also tried Nimrod and Throughout.

BOTHRIUM* MINDBENDING

Good find. Mind bending was first word I tried but couldn’t match
Thx Bill. I tried to find a match for TENTORIUM but only could come up with MID-BOUGH which is always hyphenated, and rarely used except in poetry. 🙂
THORIUM-MINDBENDING
Good for you too,Ernie.thorium was the last word I looked at,hours after trying mind bending and didn’t think to put them together
Bougie Endotherm
OUTNUMBERING was my downfall
