MULTINATIONALISMS-SWATCH
Quite inefficient solve, but oh well
MULTINATIONALISMS is definitely the word of the day! 🙂
luminous swatch
Same
LUMINOUS – SWATCH here too
LUMINOUS – SWATCH here too.
Had to let go of multinational to get to this. I see from BSJ I could have used ism on the end to make that work. Oh well, I’m happy I found this.
Watch humiliations
WATCH – HUMILIATIONS also.
Sit through Dancing with the Stars.
WATCH-HUMILIATIONS also.
Gaudy timepieces.

WATCHLISTS-SIMULATIONS
Not efficient, but definitely an accurate description of my watchlists…
MULTICASTS-SHOWN
HUMILIATIONS — SWATCH
Started with NATION/NATIONAL/NATIONALISM/NATIONALISTIC but couldn’t pair with anything.
Then I tried CAUSATION, but LB doesn’t like CAUSATIONAL or CAUSATIONISM.
Went with SOCIAL/SOCIALISM (NATIONAL SOCIALISM is two words unfortunately)
Finally found HUMILIATION/HUMILIATIONS and then found SWATCH.
MWALIMU/MWALIMUS were not accepted as well.
S(t)imulations swatch quickly. Watchlists s(t)imulation(s)
Was beginning to think I was the only one with SIMULATIONS—SWATCH
Nope, me too. Not the most efficient but does the trick!
Multinationalisms swatch
Luminous swatch
LUMINOUS SWATCH quickly, was surprised it wasn’t the OA.
Same, assumed it would be OA
SIMULATIONS – SWATCH
Thanks to knitters!
Columnists – Swath
Columnists – Swaths
Columnists – Swatch
Columnists – Shaw
Columnists – Shaws
Columnists – Shawl

Ditto.

CALUMINOUS SWATCH
SWATCH-HUMILIATION

CHAINSAWS STIMULATION
that sounds rather nasty
Cumulations – Swath or Swat or Swatch
