I just found this group and I’m really trying to solve the puzzle in two. It usually takes 3. It’s frustrating for me. I gave it two hours today and didn’t see the words that you see. Ugh! How do you do it?😄
I try hard too Carol. Couldn’t manage today despite getting some great possibilities like silverware. Hotshots. Flowershows. All accepted yet could only get it in three. Sometimes you see words that work..sometimes there are too many possible words and you dong’t et the right combo.
OVERFLOWS – SALTFISH.
REVOLTS—SAWFISH
WOLVER°—RATFISH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
° OED
STARFLOWERS—SILVERFISH
💮🐟
That’s also what I came up with. Rather poetic.
Got the same solution. I like it even though it is inefficient.
REVOLTS SAWFISH here too.
Overflower ratfish
OVERFLOW – WHATSIT
You know, the porcelain thing.
Ha!
Overflow Whitewash…
So, is that history texts, or current policy?
STARFLOWERS SHAVETAIL which was far too much like hard work. ESL and IV on same sides were particularly annoying.
WOLVERS* – STARFISH
SALTFISH – HOWSOEVER
Just added salt.
Overflows saltfish
OVERSHIFT*–TEAL
FLATFISH–HOWEVER
OVERFLOW WHITEWASH
REAVOWS-SALTFISH
I hereby reiterate my faith in bacalao.
OVERFLOWS STARFISH
STARFLOWERS — SILVERFISH
Inefficient, but I’ll take it.
TERAVOLT is apparently two words (but KILOVOLT and MEGAVOLT are one???)
OVERFLOWS – SALTISH – one shorter than the piscatorial option 🙂 Lots to pick from today!
SALTFISH-HOWEVER (15/2)
Same!
airflow-whatsoever
AIRFLOW – WHATSOEVER
Just breathe.
Flashover-rewriters
oversalts sawfish
FLOWERS – SHAVETAIL
Overwaters — Sailfish
Just when I think I’m going to have come up with something nobody else did… Of course I had written down both Overflows and Starfish but didn’t connect them. Had 135 words down before pairing Overwaters with Sailfish. Lots of Over- and -Fish options with this puzzle. Disappointed it took me as long as it did to solve it. Mondays.
Oversalts sawfish Ruins the flavor
Overlifts sawfish/shawl/swash/shaw
Overwaters sailfish. Overflows starfish
overwaters silverfish
Overflowers starfish. Overflowers ratfish
Overflows Saltish. Overflowers saltish
overflows starfish
TOVARISH* FLOWERIST*
*OED. var. of Tovarich.
** quaint spelling, used by Mark Twain, in city directories, and still in use in the 20th C. e.g, “The Flowerist Waltz,” 1938, sheet music.
Silly me. I meant to type FLOWERIST TOVARISH.
overflow – whatsit
Don’t look too closely!
Whatsoever-refilters * (MW and Collins)
OVERFLOW – WHEATISH
OVERLAWS-SHIFT
Overfits shawl
LAVARET* TOWFISH**
*MW — a type of Whitefish, ironically. **OED, underwater vehicle
Overfits/Shawl
Reavow – Wolfish – Hot ! I like the TI here.
FLASHOVER – REWRITE. A lot of (compound) word possibilities, fewer linkages.
