OA.
Took a shot at BOWFIN and I’m surprised it’s accepted.
But I saw NAUGHTY first.
OA here too. I thought it sounded vaguely familiar, but couldn’t remember if it was some kind of whale or tuna or what. I think I was mixing up BOWHEAD and BLUEFIN. Anyway, when I looked it up, it’s a freshwater fish that can live a long time out of water. It’s also a Scottish slang term to describe something so disgusting it makes you want to be sick, with the first syllable pronounced like “ow”. Who knew?!
Yup. OA with Naughty first. 🦃
Same here.
Same. Not a very common word
Meh.
BOWFIN – NAUGHTY pretty quickly, today.
Happy Holidays!
Same!
Today I’m grateful for an OA 🙂
BOWFIN-NAUGHTY
BUNFIGHT-TOWAWAY*
*TOWAWAY good in OED
ABOUGHT-TOWNIFY
INFOBOT-THOUGHTWAY
BUNFIGHT-THOUGHTWAY
It made me so cross that it didn’t accept TOWAWAY but accepted ABOUGHT, which is an obsolete past participle!
BOWFIN NAUGHTY
hook, line, and stinker.
OA moderately quick
OA-Happy TG!
Hours upon hours as I cursed various options not being possible and Sam not taking TOWAWAY, a perfectly common word, but FINALLY saw TOWNIFY then cheekily tried ABOUGHT and my gasts were flabbered when he accepted it. Someone needs to have a word.
“my gasts were flabbered” = Gold!
This was a frustratingly narrow puzzle today. Few options. A lot of words not accepted.
I had BUNFIGHT TWOWAY*
*twoway, no hyphen, is a technical term used in graphs and coding.
Submitted BUNFIGHT THOUGHTWAY
OA after all the “ghty” words, saw now then bowfin. I thought whale at first too, but just a common Brunel. Interestingly it is described as a living fossil. Takes me back to coelacanths , and a book in elementary school. Grinel!
Infobot/thoughtway
BOWFIN – NAUGHTY
fresh fish
Perfect, JAF!
OA
On this Thanksgiving Day I’m thankful LB bowfin is an accepted word even though I never heard of it before. Love the Fresh Fish comment.
JAF, your TIs are so right there!
A forthcoming book on TIs?
Gill trip.
Gave up today. Had Naughty. Bowfin not in my vocabulary. Congrats and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who did.
I saw naughty immediately and then went back and took a stab that bowfin was a word. Et voila!
BOWFIN NAUGHTY
