    Answer: WISHBONE
    Explanation: There are eight 8-letter compound words in the pattern 4, 4. Each of these compound words can be broken up further with a four-letter grid entry to form a...compound compound word, I guess? For instance, HOMEROOM = WORK (homework, workroom), TIREMASK (yes, this is a thing - but it was the most contrived entry, I'll admit!) = IRON (tire iron, iron mask). So the new word gives us two additional compound words and/or phrases. The initial letters of these inserted words spell the apropos WISHBONE, an item that is often broken up in honor of the Thanksgiving holiday! Finding the words that worked was a bit of a challenge, but feel free to leave more in the comments! Happy turkey day, everyone!
    • Mikey G constructor · 2024-11-23T18:00:25.353Z
      Oh, I probably should also give the full list, haha: WORK, IRON, SHOW, HILL, BIRD, OPEN, NOTE, EASY
      • Meg 2s · 2024-11-23T19:19:16.399Z
        Very nice!! Just have to find 2 words. Great puzzle and the puns were delightfully horrible!
        • Hector 3s · 2024-11-23T19:52:10.873Z
          Very cool!
          • Tom Wilson 🤓12:35 · 2024-11-23T20:07:24.173Z
            That was a fun one, Mikey. Thanks for the challenge ... and for the gift card!
            • Tim 18:29 · 2024-11-23T20:56:43.099Z
              Happy Thanksgiving
              • boharr 4s · 2024-11-23T20:56:05.275Z
                Very impressive construction. And pun fun too. Thanks
                • FrankieHeck 🤓15:44 · 2024-11-23T20:50:49.413Z
                  Fun puzzle, Mikey. I'm thankful for your metas!
                  • Cindy Heisler 7s · 2024-11-23T23:10:09.067Z
                    Fun one, Mikey. As always, I enjoyed the puns. Thanks!
                    • Dave C 2s · 2024-11-23T23:14:44.627Z
                      It was fun. At first I tried to mix up up the 2 four letter words, but that got me nowhere.
                      • Abide 2s · 2024-11-23T23:14:01.848Z
                        Loved this one. I almost backsolved to FISHBONE based on 15-A. Then thought about the title and found the W.
                        • lbray53 2s · 2024-11-24T00:00:54.307Z
                          So fun! Took me awhile but finally saw it. Great construction.
                          ALSO thanks for the gift card.
                          • Carolyn 4s · 2024-11-24T00:39:09.123Z
                            That was fun! Many happy memories of breaking the turkey WISHBONE after Thanksgiving! And, thanks again for the gift card. Now I can buy myself a crossword mug ;)
                            • whimsy 8:14 · 2024-11-24T00:31:00.065Z
                              The first thing I thought of after successfully test-solving was the PBS show about the Jack Russell terrier that I used to watch with my kids back in the day. 🎵 "What's the story, Wishbone." 😄 But then I quickly realized how close we were to the holiday -- Oh, right!
                              Loved the puzzle, Mikey -- It's just about the furthest thing from being a turkey!
                              • BarbaraK 🤓12:53 · 2024-11-24T01:21:42.675Z
                                What a lovely Thanksgiving puzzle!
                                • Darth 🤓27:14 · 2024-11-24T04:01:33.856Z
                                  Fun puz! I saw them, but started to make up some of my own: home show/showroom; flip note/ notebook... haha :D Love the Thanksgiving theme. Have a good one, MikeyG!
