PLWIEBSTHOCA
The answers are:
WITCHHOSPITABLE
BLOWHOLES SPECIALITE. no time to get the more elegant OA
Exactly the same solution, and sentiment, as DHW
also accepted BLOWHOLES-SPECIATE. how biologists classify whales?
BLOWHOLES-SPECIATE here too! Was a bit surprised by both being accepted esp. as the latter was a complete guess. Adding it to my new words list
Wow. Same here. Gobsmacked to see SPECIALITE was accepted.
Ha!
SWOP-PITCHABLE
Same. SWOP was a bit of a guess though. Thought it might be a word because I think I’ve seen it accepted before but I didn’t know it’s meaning.
PITCHABLE – ELBOWS here.
Same here. Didn’t expect it to accept pitchable, and had no idea swop was a valid variant, so not giving myself too many points on this one.
POLITICS – SWITCHABLE
The shorter POLS-SWITCHABLE worked just fine for me. I was really hoping this would end up one of the elusive one-word puzzles.
The even shorter OPS-SWITCHABLE for me.
Pois Switchable
Blotches Swipable
I found the OA, then found POS – SWITCHABLE which I preferred since they only share one letter.
This is my first time posting here and I actually thought all OAs only shared a single letter. Apparently not so!
Same
OPS – SWITCHABLE for me, too.
Was able to find POLITICS so glad to see someone found a solution for it
Welch-Hospitable
ops – switchable
But Doc, it was my left knee not the right one!!
POS – SWITCHABLE
Pos and Ops Switchable here as well. Nice to have some 13/2s for a change…
Yes, I noticed that as well. We beat out the OA in that respect.
POS – SWITCHABLE here too
Same here!
POS / SWITCHABLE too.
OA
Hansel and Gretel’s host, until she wasn’t.
Me too. Funny!
OPS—SWITCHABLE
ELOPES—SWITCHABLE
SWITCHABLE—ELOPES
Potboils swatches
Funny! Had Swatches early but I didn’t see the match.
I was kind of fixated on swatches so I had to find a word to work with it, lol.
Aww I hoped it would be a unique solution but I wasn’t the only one to get it haha
Philosophises switchable
this is my favorite one in a long time. not sure why, but I love it
Baptises-salchow (a skate move – shocked it took it!)
Ops Switchable also. Well if that’s how it is no wonder Hospitalise got me nowhere!
As mentioned above… POS-SWITCHABLE also works.
And it gave me my first 13/2 in a while!
HOSPITALS SWITCHABLE
TABLETOPS – SWITCH
Me too. Tabletops- Switch. Today’s LB felt clunky to me.
Same here.
Chewable epitopes
Hospitable eschew
CHEWABLE ECTOPICS
I had Watchable -Ectopics
PATCHWISE ELBOW
HOPES SWITCHABLE
BOBWHITES – SPECIAL Surprised I’m the first with this combo. I’m taking it as descriptive of the actual bird rather than a menu listing.
OA – easiest one I’ve had in a few weeks
Hospitable – eschew
PHOSPHATIC-CHEWABLE
don’t forget to take your minerals
WELCH – HOSPITABLE. Always nice to work my surname into a solution, and I hope the adjective applies!
Lots of good birds today!
