OKAYSSCREWDRIVER
DISAVOWER – ROCKY.
Yay! I solved it today. 🤗😊🙂
Same… Sisyphus goes on strike.
Same
One more
Me too
Same and woot woot!
I got the same answer. Thankfully, totally unlike yesterday, I solved it super quickly.
TI: things can get tense when you take a stand and speak up against something
Me, too! This was my solution with no hints and I was so proud of DISAVOWER, and ROCKY fell easily after that.
Disavower-Rocky as well
OA.
OA after trying DISCOVERY and ROADWORK. The latter left me with DRIVER and then my eye saw SCREWDRIVER(S) and it was home free from there.
WORKDAYS SCREWDRIVER
or WORKDAYS- SCREWDRIVE pretty much sums up my boss
M–F happy-hour special!
This was mine, except it seemed appropriate (only fair) to add the ‘S’ to the second word, too.
Oh brilliant! I got WORKDAYS-SIEVE, couldn’t fit the C in. Was hung up on KEYWORDS forever.
Okays screwdriver
Vodka and orange juice will do
Me too. Cheers!
DAYWORKER—RECEIVES
👷💵
Me too, Mark, plus
RECEIVERS.
Good one LWM. I was hoping for COVID—DAYWORKERS, respecting the doctors and nurses during the pandemic. LB didn’t like it, but the proper name is in OED. ☕
I was hoping for that too. When COVID was rejected I tried CORVID (pure guess) and it was accepted. So my solution was CORVID DAYWORKERS. There were a fee other words that seemed promising but I couldn’t find partners for them: DISCOVER/Y/IES, WORKDAYS, WORKWISE, EVERYDAY and KEYWORKERS,
Same for me
OA after playing around with overview overdrives and discovery/ies
OA for me, but only after trying to use ADVISORY(IES), so I was done in a few minutes.
Mines similar Mark…
[ Corvid – Dayworkers ]
I was surprised Covid wasn’t accepted
Hi Bruce. Me too, as OED had “Covid” and “covid” as definitions 1 and 2.
Same
divorces – swy – yak, using each letter only once
workdays – scrive, using just the ‘r’ twice
SCRIVE/SCREIVE/SCRIEVE are all OED variations, but LB doesn’t accept any of them! 🙁
thanks Bill. is the full list available somewhere?
No, whenever LB says “Not a word” I always check the online OED. It is surprising how many words LB doesn’t accept (way more than just proper names, vulgarisms, etc.).
OA today
OA found but I liked Kayos Screwdriver better (he’s out of orange juice). Also Workdays Screwdriver (he has a bejeweled one for special projects) and Disavower Rocky (Boris Badenov or Apollo Creed).
From Rocky II (the best one)
=====================
Apollo: “You’re going down.”
Rocky: “No way.”
Mickey: “Now!” (switch to southpaw) “NOW!!”
Boom boom boom…
Adrian: “Get up. Just get up.”
Classic movie groovie 🙂

DAYWORKERS — SCREWDRIVER
WORKDAYS — SCREWDRIVER
DAYWORKERS — SCRIEVE*
WORKDAYS — SCREIVE*
(LB doesn’t like SCRIEVE or SCREIVE)
Dayworker Receives 😊
I didn’t even think of receives!
Same. Seems to make the most sense too.
Dayworker receivers
way too little.
oa
Some CASEWORKERS had a WEIRD, ROCKY, and AVERSIVE DAY, so their husbands and WIVES decided to SERVE them their favorite drink with a cocktail SWORD before they hit the SACK.
OA today without the last R
Okays Screwdrive
Disavower Rocky
DAYWORKERS – SCRIVE°
“I would prefer not to.”
°OED
I tried SCRIVE TOO. Ended up with SCREWDRIVER
Poor Bartleby!
✍👍
okays – screwdriver
Bartleby!
DAYWORKERS SCREWDRIVER.
A but more poetic than the OA
WORKDAYS SCRIVE* or SCRIEVE*
Scrive is in the Scrabble dictionary among other well-known ones.
I see now that many others had the same idea.
Finally went with AVOW WEIRDS SOCKEYE.
I haven’t the faintest idea why I went for kayos rather than okays, but after 6 months of playing, it’s my first original solution!
KAYOS – SCREWDRIVER
Congrats!
I don’t recall seeing it spelled out like that (usually KO or KOed) but a word is a word is a word.
An optimal 3,
SACK – KEYWORD – DIV (14)
CORVID – DAYWORKERS after trying COVID to no avail.
Looked at it for a few minutes this morning and got nowhere. Picked it up again this afternoon and SCREWDRIVER jumped right out of the puzzle. A few seconds later I was done. Saw OKAYS and it was an OA for me.
Haven’t solved any for a couple weeks. Yay for today: okays screwdrive.
