The answers are:
PIVOTTRACKBED
CORKBOARD-DEPICTIVE
– no I didn’t know depictive was a word either.
Same
I didn’t even think of CORKBOARD.
For whatever reason LB doesn’t like KICKBOARD and it’s not in the OED. I swear that’s what I bought my kids when they were learning to swim.
Yup, I tried that one too.
Yep, you’re right Bill.
Also, Competitive swim teams use them a lot for kicking practice – you hold on the board with your arms and kick like the devil to keep from sinking and move forward.
😎🐝🇺🇸
I got Corkboard Depictive too and thought I was going to be the only one…. sigh….
Another CORRKBOARD-DEPICTIVE here. Thought it was pretty ridiculous that kickboard was not accepted. Was a remarkable struggle considering the letters for years didn’t seem like they would be that difficult.
Packboard Depictive
corkboard – depictive as well
PACKBOARD — DEPICTIVE
Also played with POCKETED, PICKETED, PACKETED, CAPACITOR, CAPACITIVE, DETRACTIVE
PACKBOARD – DEPICTIVE for me too. Guessed on PACKBOARD, then took a long time finding a pair.
I pulled packboard out of thin air, and then couldn’t come up with a pair for it, so I gave up. Of course there are several.
PACKBOARD DETRACTIVE
This was mine, too.
I kind of blew it this morning by accidentally going to this forum page instead of the game. Wondered if I’d be able to unsee PIVOT and find a different solution.
All all of the same and more, starting with the OA Pivot Trackbed (the discussion having moved on from rolling stock). Well, at least it’s efficient. Also Corkboard / Kiteboard / Packboard Depictive, and Packboard Detractive.
BRACK > KITED > DROVE > EPIC
OA….but not feeling Trackboard….over Kickboard🤔
PIVOT – TRACKBED
PIVOT / TRACKBED, too.
OA for me too.
Pivot – Trackbed
KITEBOARD DEPICTIVE
PIVOT—TRACKBED (oa),
and an OED-only 13/2:
BRICKTOP°—PAVED
An LB short story, brought to you by the letter P:
The PROACTIVE PROPRIETOR, a POETIC PEACOCK, armed with PIPET and PROTRACTOR, PIVOTED his PARAKITE over the high PRAIRIE, having just PROBED the PICKETED PARADE, then PARKED and PARTIED on the PICTORIC PORTICO.
☕🙂
Nicely told tale. I had Bricktop too.
Thanks! I had found PROTOTRAITOR also but left him out of the story because of the negative aspect of that character.
OA surprisingly. Tried board, bird, pack, pocket, packet, brick, track, prick, tropicbird, and many others but landed on OA
COB BEPRICKED* DAVIT
*good enough for Hawthorne.
I’m in awe of rest of you but today success for me was
COKED-DEPRAVED-DEBIT
No 2w, bunch of 18/3 and one 15/3, I hoped DRIVEPORT might be a word or DRIVETOP to pair with Bracketed, but didn’t know or think of Trackbed. Went with BRACKETED DROP PIVOT though I might’ve preferred BOP PIVOT TRACKED, 15/3. My other 15/3 was BROKE EVICTED DAP. The rest of my 18/3’s: PROVOKED DEBIT TRACK, BRACKET TROPIC CAVED, BRACKETED DRIP PROVE, BRACKETED DROVE EPIC, some fun 4w’s and longer 3w’s too. Spent too long on it today!
Only got as far as BOP POCKETED DETRACTIVE.
Similar
BOP PROACTIVE EKED

I love coming to your posts and learning that the answers I found were all the answers there were. (Of course, this only applies when there’s only a very limited set of answers.) Makes my day!
Thanks!
The nearest that i got was:
PROVOKED DEBITCARD^
and LB doesn’t like debitcard as one word.
Other words i tried were BRACKETED and PIVOTED but i couldn’t type in it match for either of them.
