DTHOFSBANWRI
The answers are:
BRADDOWNSHIFT
Same as OA
Shifts Snowboard
Me too.
OA after playing around with
DOWNDRAFTS
SWORDFISH
SHOWBOATS
to no avail.
arbitrations-swordfish
BOATSWAINS – SWORDFISH
I guess my mind is out at sea today. 🙂
ARBITRATIONS / SWORDFISH too.
Nice!
I managed to make use of Showboats
Indrafts-Showboat
Brainfarts swordfish
My answer as wel, ha ha. I was a bit surprised.
Obtains Swordfish (The Old Man and the Sea) and Boatswains Swordfish (same). But ya gotta go with Brainfarts when the occasion presents itself, so Brainfarts Showd(s) / Shadow(s) / Showdown(s) / Swordfish, and I don’t even care about the TI. Plus Showboat is sweet, so Indrafts Showboat, which seems nautical-ish.
Way too easy today😞
I couldn’t move on from SWORDFISH for quite some time but then ended up with SNOWBOARDS – STARFISH
Same here swordfish and all
OA and quickly
SHIFTS – SNOWBOARD
and SNOWBOARDS SHIFT
Same
Also got SNOWBOARDS SHIFT, fairly quickly, after a lot of 3w, lots of nice compound words here.
BRAID – DOWNSHIFT
me too. and fun getting there 😊
Slight variation with Broad-Downshift
Me too.
FASHIONISTAS—SNOWBOARDS
👠👜🏂🏽🏂🏽
FASHIONISTAS was the first word I found but I gave up on it once I found SWORDFISH.
Yep
BOATIONS (roaring) – SWORDFISH
BRAVO! I was hard at work to find a pairing for SWORDFISH and came up with nothing
Arbitration Swordfish
I think you mean ARBITRATIONS SWORDFISH — my solution, too. (And I knew it wouldn’t be the OA.)
Missed that s. And it’s too long for the OA.
FASHIONISTAS — STRAWBOARD/STRAWBOARDS
Also looked at ROBOTISATION
OBTAINS – SWORDFISH. I think that was the original title of “The Old Man and the Sea.”
Yep
Apologies for stepping on your line, DW.
OBTAINS SWORDFISH in a few minutes after tossing out DWARFISH.
The grids have been easy lately. Is Sam going to hit us with a pig of an LB after lulling us into a false sense of competence?
BRAINFARTS – SWORDFISH
🙂
Me too. Thought I would be alone in that.
BRAINFARTS-SHOWD (15/2)
[ BRAINFARTS – SHADOW ] in less than 2 minutes !
🤣🤣🤣
I thought my solution was unique! 😂 I found BRAINFARTS – SHADOW exeptionally quickly too–it was the second thing i tried! 😏 My experience was quite the opposite of the solution! 😆
Mine too
Brainfarts Shadow.
My ninja codename.
I nearly died laughing. You’re lucky my lawyer is a bum.
If I did die you probably won’t get stung for it…
same
Indrafts showboat
This was my answer as well. Made me think of Marilyn Monroe.
indrafts – showboat
found showboat first and grateful to find a pairing
DOWNDRAFTS SAHIB
LB likes Sahib. It is (take your pick):
1) a Hindi and Urdu word meaning sir or master, used in colonial India [M-W dictionary]
2) an Arabic word meaning ‘companion’ and a loanword in many languages of South and Central Asia [Wikipedia]
And actually, when you read through the Wikipedia article, the real meaning of sahib is “owner”.
BOATSWAINS SWORDFISH
Obtains Swordfish
Same.
brainfarts-shadow
Not very elegant but it worked
😂
BROADSWORD -> DOWNSHIFT
BRAD – DOWNSHIFT 13/2
When his high-stress job became too much, he chose a simpler, more rewarding life.
DOWNSHIFTS – STARBOARD
Now he attends MAGA rallies and cheers like an idiot.
BROADSWORD – DOWNSHIFT
Same
Gladiator retirement.
OBTAINS – SWORDFISH
BROWNISH HARDFAST.
Me too
BRAINFARTS SHOWDOWN
A contest to see who is most forgetful
WASHBOARDS – SNIFT*
WASHBOARD – DOWNSHIFT
I played around with SHOWBOATS but didn’t see a pairing that worked.
Found immediately! BRAINFARTS SHADOW
Same. I’m kind of disappointed there are other solutions!
Brainfarts – Showdown. Lol
Brainfarts shadow
Shifts Snowboard
Took me awhile surprisingly considering so many solutions are available.
Same here! I got SHIFTS SNOWBOARD too
Obtains Swordfish
Disinhibitions Swarf
Time to look up swarf
Frontwards sahib
Ditto.
Couldn’t get SH*TSHOW out of my mind, lol, but eventually came up with FASHIONS STRAWBOARD
Lol was that an accepted word?
Downshifts Starboard
Very inefficient.
Another ARBITRATIONS – SWORDFISH. Glad to see matches for FASHIONISTA, that one had me stumped.
Arbitrations Showd
BOARD-DOWNSHIFT
BRAINFARTS-SWORDFISH
I decided to give it another go to find something someone hasn’t already mentioned. I found DOWNDRAFTS -SAHIB it worked! Now i gotta look up SAHIB! 😄
