GAPHUTCINMOS
The answers are:
CACOPHONOUSSTIGMA
Gumption Nuchas
Mine was a very similar gumption nachas
Same
GUMPTION-NACHAS as well. Still not sure what “nacha” or “nachas” is. Just tried it as a guess. TI=”How dare anyone serve female nachos.”
Same
My best is Champions Shotgun (it took him to the top of the skeet-shooting ranks) but I also have Gumption Nachas. “That grandkid of mine, such gumption! It gives me nachas like you wouldn’t believe!” Uh-oh, here come the Yiddish haters. Would they prefer Gumption Naumachias? It takes plenty to mount such spectacles. Or there’s Cacophonous Stigma (how can that be the OA?) and Countships Stigmata, mix and match.
Also same
And i guess i’m the last one (tonight/today) with GUMPTION NACHAS
Never heard of Nachas before … i was wishing that the O wasn’t next to the S so then NACHOS would’ve been an easy match … then i found Nachas in a word list.
Once i found it, i was sure Gumption Nachas would be the OA.
JTV’s TI is perfect!

CHAMPIONS SHOTGUN(S)
CHAMPIONSHIPS SHOTGUN(S)
A quick solve after failing to get textspeak yesterday.
Same on both.
Also a PSW with prefix CO:
(CO)CHAMPIONS*—SHOTGUN(S)
Yay! I solved it today.
Same answers.
🤗😊🙂
Same. Sadly apropos this week.
Same – 2 impossible (for me) days and this was pretty straightforward.
Same and same!
CHAMPIONS SHOTGUN
Ditto and ditto!
Champions — Shotgun is so much more elegant than the OA. And so happy to get it in under 10 minutes.
Nice! Got as far as Champions + Tough but couldn’t link them.
Champions Shotgun
Shotguns Scampi. Was really surprised the OA was so much less efficient!
Though i was sorry i couldn’t do anything with Pistachio -i was sure it must be in the OA
GUNMANSHIP* — PISTACHIO works but even though the former is in the OED, LB does accept it.
Same here!
Yes I thought our answer was more efficient as well 🙂
Gunshots Scampi
Champignons sunt
(Latin for ‘they are’)
Matchpots Signup
CHAMPINOSHIPS SHOTGUN
Was convinced that was going to be the OA.
Or just the simpler
CHAMPIONS SHOTGUN
CHAMPIONS – SHOTGUN
TI: the Olympic gold medalists in Trap, Skeet & Sporting Clay
Glad to see an array with multiple 2W solutions again today!
TI
Where the winner gets to ride.
That’s the spirit, LWM! Made my day!
CHAMPIONS SHOTGUN. Was very surprised to see what I thought was a more complicated (& longer) OA when I checked here after solving it!
Shotguns Scampi
Same!
another SHOTGUNS-SCAMPI
Appalachian menu option.
and fun is back in LB! 🥳
😆
CACOPHONOUS — STIGMA
Could not do anything with CONSUMPTION, PHOTION, STIGMATISATION, IMITATION, CUSHION or OPTIMISATION
CONSUMPTIONS*—SANGH
CONTIGUOUS – SHIPMAN*.
LB does take SHOPMAN, so go figure.
That’s what I got: CONTIGUOUS – SHOPMAN (after trying CONTIGUOUS – SHIPMAN*). This was a much more fun puzzle than the last few days.
CONTIGUOUS – SHIPMAST°
CONTIGUOUS–SCAMPISH (feel a bit silly for not finding SHIPMAN, though)
also COGITATIONS–SUMPHS
a SUMPH (something I tried in a combination of curiosity and desperation) is a simpleton.
Contiguous-Scampish for me too.
CONTIGUOUS / SCAMPISH here, too.
We see the Cogitations of Sumphs on daily display!
Champignons Suit
weird I saw that without noticing champion
Same.
If Lady Gaga had a meat dress, why not mushrooms ?
😂😂😂, PG!
Ha! Same, but I thought: playing as toad in Mario Kart; A champion champignon!
Same
Champignins – Suit
after trying Champions and Championships first.
Champignons*
Mine too. Though I did first see (and try) champion and champions. But I was stuck with the “g”, which is why I then tried champignons.
It was fiiled after yet another accidental (?) poisoning.
(Just trying to keep the Fun in Fungus.)
COUNTSHIPS-SIGMA
Same
Same!
PITCHMAN NOUGS. very ungainly. love the OA as well as the many CHAMPIONS, SCAMPIS and SHOTGUNs related answers!
pitchman – nougs as well
Some non-LB, OED 13/2 solutions:
GUMPTION—NASCH°
IMPUGNS—STOACH°
IMPUGNS—STOCAH°
nasch, variant of nosh, v.colloquial. intransitive. Originally: to nibble a snack, delicacy, etc. (chiefly North American). Later more generally: to eat, have a meal… {two other definitions in OED too}
stoach, v. transitive. To trample (wet ground) into holes.
stocah, n. An attendant on a ‘kerne’ or Irish foot-soldier.
IMPUGNATIONS* — SUCH
GUNSHOTS SCAMPI. Great puzzle today as there were loads of good words available including PISTACHIO, MUSTACHIO, GUMPTION, HANGMAN, SHOPMAN and CHAMPIONS.
Gunshots – Scampi too!
CHAMPIONS – STOUGH°
Tin medalists.
°OED
Variant of Stow, a raised structure containing the furnace and set of pots used in the manufacture of tin-plate.
CHAMPIONSHIP -PUGNANT
The MACHO boxer had a GUMPTION that he could defeat the MUCHACHO if he had enough GUSTO. But he could not find a POTION that would relieve his repulsive COUGH, so he lasted a SCANT two rounds in the ring.
Great LB short story!
👍😇
COUNTSHIPS – SIGMA
Signum Matchpots
GUMPTIOUS* – SNATCH
Courtship Pigman
No idea what a pigman is but I’ll take it
Countship*
Champignons – stoup
COUNTSHIPS – STIGMATA
An optimal 3,
CHAMP – PITONS – SUG (14)
CHAMPIGNONS SUNTAN
and also GIMP PHANTASIST TOUCH
Championships – Shotgun
Cogitations – sumph
Champignons – suit
