WHODUNITTALKY
We’ve had “whodunit” before methinks
OA in 10
OA.
Sounds like it could be a Charlie Chan movie.
June 28, 2022.
OA. “Elementary”, cried Basil Rathbone.
What?yes. Quite so,Holmes,old bean!
OA very quickly after kicking off with THYLAKOID, and looking for a first word…saw WHODUNIT and thought, cheekily, could TALKY be a word? And so it was!
Almost the same scenario. I found Thylakoid pretty quickly. Then when I flipped Whodunit with Thylakoid I was satisfied. I didn’t go the extra mile to find Talky which is a more efficient solve. Nice!
OA Today!
OA for me today as well.
First time I have ever gotten it immediately. I was gobsmacked that whodunit worked, even more so when talky did. Less than 10 seconds, crazy! Especially since I haven’t gotten it in 2 for weeks!
Never saw it, though I’ve certainly enjoyed my share. Congrats to those WHOGOTIT.
I had THANKYOU, UNWOUND and DIAL
I give myself 20 minutes total. Any longer and my eyes glaze over. 🤣
LB stumped me today. My best efforts:
DAW WALKOUT THINLY
HULK KATYDID DOWN
WHODUNIT-TALKY
WHODUNIT-THYLAKOID
WALNUT-THYLAKOID
*WHYDUNIT-THYLAKOID
*WHYDUNIT good in OED, Merriam-Webster, Wiktionary, Scrabble UK (SOWPODS)
*WHYDUNIT-TALKO*
*WHYDUNIT good in OED, Merriam-Webster, Wiktionary, Scrabble UK (SOWPODS)
*TALKO good in Wiktionary
Left you a reply yesterday, Richie. Also applies to Talko.
I will not relinquish thankyou. Came to see if it can be used….. doesn’t look like it. I’m not impressed with whodunit. Hmph!
I hung onto thankyou too Jenn! But could not get past unlaid.
It can be used just not for completion in two words. As far as I’m aware.
I spent too long on
Thankyou and thinktank
Same here Scott
OA.
”Lady Yow What TIT Thankyou”
Excellent !!!
LB is definitely an inspiring and sometimes hard method of “Constrained Writing”*.
*see Wikipedia
OA quickly. Tried walkout, saw handy. Tried handy,saw whodunit, done
Was so glad when talkys came along as the whodunit silents we’re just too confusing!
I would never guess Talky, and not likely to get Whodunit, so I’m glad I settled for 3w YOUTH HAWK KINDLY, 15/3, got quite a few other 3w’s but one or two letters shy of 2w answers. Was surprised THANKYOU ok’d as 1w, also HOLDOUT and WALKOUT ok but not LOADOUT. DOWNLOAD ok too. My other 3w’s: DAW WALKOUT THINLY, KITH HOLDOUT TAWNY, WAIT THANKYOU UNLOAD, WAIT THANKYOU UNDULY, DOWNLOAD DINKY YOUTH. (HAWK KINDLY YOUTH also). Short 4w (16/4): WALNUT THY YOLK KID.
Whodunit is not a word ffs. This game has such a random lexicon.
It also accepted “thankyou” which is even more ridiculous as one word
Excellent 3-word solutions with TI! Much better than the OA.
WHODUNIT — THYLAKOID
Spent time with THANKYOU, ALKYL, and DOWNLOAD, but couldn’t find pairs.
WHODUNIT – TALKY
A wordy mystery.
WHODUNIT – TALKY
Murder on the Orient Expression.
The Sound of the Baskervilles.
Knives Outloud.
Nice!
Thanks, Bill!
I had to read your titles twice 😂
Adding:
A Shout in the Dark
Scream
Ear Window
Psyecho
Murder She Emotes
The Resonance of the Lambs
🧐👍
AW,THANKYOUKINDLY. Happened to see, looking for thankyou pairing
Love it!
👍

OA in relatively short order. Science background seems to be quite handy in this game. New to THYLAKOID but adding it to the list 🙂
OA super fast this morning.
OA
Plus HIAWATHA AND YOUTH HULK
…Careful not to Tippecanoe.
To get it to fit properly: HIAWATHA* AND DULY YOLK
Also
THANKYOU UNWOUND DIAL which was accepted by LB.
OA
Does getting it on my very first guess make up for the countless hours I’ve spent on so many others? Hmmm…
WhodUnit? I think not.
WALK KINDLY YOUTH.
Walk kindly youth. Kindly youth haw.
I would never have gotten this in 2 words! I didn’t know ‘WHODUNIT’ was a real word??
I spent too much time on this. Went with 3 words: HUNK-KATYDID-DOWNLOAD
Holdout tawny yoik
Anyhow would diktat
Walkout than nudity
Yow wok kin nut tho old dad
Law why yok kid dun nit
Talk koi inanity youth howdy
Walnut think kindly you. 7-6-5-4-3-2
OA
TI: mystery movies after the silent era
OA
Failed today. Like others I was both surprised THANKYOU was one word and hopeful to use it, but no luck. I noticed TALKY but never would have thought of WHODUNIT.
