The answers are:
QUOTEDDIVERSIFY
OA.
what does OA mean?
Same here! 🙂
OA, not much leeway for other combinations methinks.
OA as well
OA…
Another OA
And another. I’ll certainly be interested to see if anyone can find another solution besides the needlessly expanded Requoted Diversify.
OA within seconds. Quisitive caught my eye first, however, but got stuck there.
Not quisitive …. Requisite
Same again
I’ve tried to find another – I like quivers softy but can’t find room for the D. Will have to stop now!
I liked that one too!
quoted – diversify
OA, ALIOW, TTFN!
OA, in less time than today’s Spelling Bee
Ha! Same.
I know, right? Not going to spoil anything here, but I had no idea the pangram was one word. That had already happened to me once within the past week.
Exactly! I question the one-word-ness of it too.
If it is one word, why not the similar word with KNEE…?
Hey, that reminds me of a song . . .
REQUOTED DIVERSIFY and then immediately noticed the redundant RE hehe.
I got REQUOTED-DIVERSIFY too, and didn’t look for redundancies (ALIOW). For a short while, I had FURTIVE-EQUIDS, which was a funny image.
Same here. Started with requisite so ended up with requoted diversify
OA pretty quickly after almost giving up with QUOTED DIVERSITY missing the F, went to enter it then saw DIVERSIFY to solve it.
Same process here.
Hunh. As always, it looks simple once I see it here. However, I ran out of time and patience without finding it for myself, so I’ll make do with REQUISITIVE-EDIFY-YOD.
OA for me, too. Wanted something more exciting. (Can’t quite bring myself to allow ALIOW and its dangling preposition: puts me in mind of Churchill’s comment that “this is the sort of nonsense up with which I will not put”. Sorry, I am a pedant! 😬)
Oh, do give us more Churchill quotes, whenever!
Reminds me of one of my favourite Harvard jokes. A freshman from Texas was strolling through the Yard during orientation and stopped an upperclassman.
“Excuse me,” the Texas freshman said, “Can y’all tell me where the library’s at?”
“Here at Hahvahd, we don’t end sentences with prepositions.”
“Oh, excuse me. Well, can y’all tell me where the library’s at, a**hole?”
Here’s another: A Cambridge cashier notices a student with a full shopping cart in the express checkout line. “Excuse me,” says the cashier; “I don’t know if you’re from Harvard and can’t count or MIT and can’t read, but you’re in the wrong line.”
Fishcake, how about ALIO? Fewer letters!😉
As a fellow grammarian and pedant, I would say (i) the battle over dangling prepositions is long lost and never made any sense in the first place outside of the most formal settings, and (ii) in any case there’s no other way to construct “get it over with”, because that is the full phrase. What’s the proposed alternative? “Over with it get?” “Get it over” doesn’t mean the same thing. Bottom line, there’s nothing inherently wrong with ending a sentence with a preposition in the interests of good writing. See Strunk.
Some would say I’ve gone over to the dark side anyway, as my current battle is to persuade the English-speaking world at large to drop “whom” and especially “whomever” from the vocabulary. 99 times out of a hundred it’s just plain wrong, and even when it’s technically correct, it’s completely unnecessary.
I can get behind this, Bernie. I will, however, go to the mat for the Oxford comma and will never accept “all is not lost,” unless someone means to say “nothing is lost.”
OA
OA
Got the OA. But also I looked for a while on the interwebs and did not find anything that tells me what ALIOW means. Can someone please explain? Thanks.
OA …
I saved this to do in the dentist waiting area today, but the OA was too quick, and now I’m just stuck here, quiet and quivering.
OA after spending a fair amount of time on REQUISITIVE, FERVID, DISQUIET, and hoping something would add on to VIDEO.
Pretty straight forward today. Got the “official answer.” Quoted / Diversify
Instantly got the OA…
OA here too! A bit long winded for me. I didn’t see the fy ending for a long time.
