The answers are:
BLIMPPROSTHETIC
Pother-reclimbs 2/14
Reclmbs-Shortstop
I meant woes-straightly for the 31st. No official answer yet?
CLIMBS – STROPHE 13/2
PROSTHETIC-CLIMB
Well done, E! This is a much better use of Prosthetic than the official answer. All hail Arunima Sinha!
Thermophilic-Climbers
I managed a rather klunky BROTHERS – SIMPLISTIC at 18/2
I found a much clunkier MEMBERSHIP–PHILOSOPHISTIC
Photic Climbers, 14/2. Like vines reaching for the sun or monkeys heading to the treetops. Thematically akin to PG’s Thermophilic Climbers. Well, it ain’t great, but at least it was quick. Climbing is a common theme today – so far only Goblin has eschewed it.
PHOTIC – CLIMBERS here, too. I like your examples.
Heteromorphic Climbs
Photometric -Climbs
PLETHORIC COMBS
The only way I was able to solve this puzzle.
I also encountered many combs.
Climbers-sophist
ELECTROPHILIC-CLIMBS
Similar to a few other solutions:
SOPHISTIC—CLIMBERS
CLIMBERS—SOPHISTIC
A 17/2 reciprocal pair.
Inspired by the diversity of our climbers today,
PREHISTORIC—CLIMBER(S)
Q: Why climb the mountain?
A: Because it’s there.
☺
BROTHELS – SIMPLISTIC came right away, I am ashamed to say. Then came BROTHS – SIMPLICITER, which is probably my endgame fate.
CLIMB – BROTHERSHIP. Not sure why I tried Brothership – couldn’t find a solution with mothership.
Membership-politic. Always glad not to need the dictionary.
Nice!
Climbers-shortstop. (I guess they are playing baseball up on the mountain? Sounds dangerous to me.)
A 14/2: BLIMPISH – HECTOR
Can’t conceive the blimpish hectoring.
CLIMBERS — SHORTSTOP
STETHOSCOPIC CLIMBERS
PROSTHETIC CLIMBERS
An embarrassment of riches today . . . 🙂
Polemicists sherbet
PROTOLITHIC CLIMBERS for me.
Correction. PROTOLITHIC COMBERS.
The long way around with PHILOSOPHISTIC – CLIMBER
(Apology– it suffers a bit from lack of formatting options.)
Climbers’ Ode to Climate Change*
(Strophe: climb)
Climb through the ocean’s photic zone,
Wield a protolithic stone
Engraved with sophists’ prophecy,
Runes that hector cogently
With stethoscopic urgency
And photometric brilliancy.
(Antistrophe: clime)
As thermophiles defy the heat,
Heteromorphs’ metaphoric feet
Climb the slope of climate’s woes.
—And in the wordsmith’s endless mill
Polemicists spin stories, still
In pothers of plethoric prose.
(Epode)
The sophists’ body politic: prosthetic skins at last unfurl
A blimpish hollow mothership, brothel of a dying world.
*The English origin of the word climate traces to late 14th-century Scots, where it is defined as “a horizontal zone of the earth.” Greek (klima) and Latin (climatis) refer to “a sloping surface of the earth,” hence the sister word “to climb.” And these Greek and Latin words each derive from the Proto-Indo-European root klei, a verb meaning “to lean.” Clime (n) and climb (v) are joined at the linguistic hip, never more than in this most challenging time.
… not to mention any inclination, reclination & decline… Nailed it, Jill!
These are really lovely, Jill. Such talent!
trophic – climbers
Helicopters-somber
COMPILERS-SHERBET
Not the best answer, but one nonetheless.
Preternatural layback a few days ago, photothermic climbs today. Seems like I need a sun-soaked granite slab somewhere.
BETELS — SOPHOMORIC
PROPHETIC-CLIMBS
BLEMISH – HELICOPTER
thematically adjacent to the official answer 🙂
CLIMBERS SHORTSTOP
photometric – corbels
The best kind
EMBLEMS STROPHIC. I see others got CLIMBERS SHORTSTOP, I got Climbers Stop or Climbers Shop, both missed one letter. PHOEBE ELECT TRIMS 16/3. PRECIS SLOTH HEMP PLEB 19/4. POETIC CLIMBERS SHOP 18/3. etc, lots of nice words.
CLIMBERS SOPHIST
Straightly-woes
