QUEACH was a totally random guess for me. Never heard of it before.
Equalisers Scotch
QUEACH HORSETAIL was the variation I found.
CATHOUSES—SQUIRL
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised but i still am. Me too
QUILTER-ROACHES
same. It took me a while to realize I needed the L in the same word as the Q, because I kept getting stuck with O and L and needing them spaced.
Except for
acquires-southerlies
😜 😉
Same!
Same. Yuck.
Too longer than it should have, but I found a unique combo with the Q and H together.
Quiches – Sortal
Same
ICEHOUSE—EQUATORIAL
EQUATORIAL – LATCHES
That was mine as well. Equatorial-Latches. Your a genius!!
Deliciously contradictory, Mark!

lots of options today!
HISTORIC—CLAQUE
ORTHIC – CALQUES
I’m pretty inspired by Mark’s EQUATORIAL ICEHOUSE
Thanks Jill. I was trying to top it off with an igloo emoji and a blazing sun, but I couldn’t find my little icy house.
CHEQUERS-STOICAL
CHOSE-EQUATORIAL. had the chance to use ‘CIRQUE’ but couldn’t connect it
Chose Equatorial also, and then Cliche Equators, but today’s answers are inspired! Fun start to the day.
CHOSE EQUATORIAL
Choristers & Squeal. I love the OA!
Granny sewed fabulous crib quilts for newborns but sometimes missed removing a pin or two. (True story, but it was fine – we learned to proofread the quilts before use.)
Here as well.
Anyone doing Connections? Kind of insane today.
Yes. How are WILL and MAY past tense verbs?? 🤨🧐
Fishcake, my puzzle says those are IRREGULAR verbs (do not take a direct object). For me today’s Connections was one of the easiest for a change. Funny how our minds see things differently.
My bad. INTRANSITIVE verbs don’t take an object. IRREGULAR verbs don’t end in-ed in the past tense.
I am as screwed up as NYTConnections today🥴
They changed it to ‘irregular verbs’. Still doesn’t make sense.
😲 They CHANGED the title?!?!? Oooh boy….
There’s just no way that works. Not in a million years 🙂
Love Connections!! Got it today but not perfectly….
CIRQUES—SOCIOHISTORICAL*
* would work in Scrabble.
🙂
QUESTOR-RHETORICAL
Had a lot of other long words formed, too, but couldn’t quite get th best pair.

LACQUER-REHOIST. Quickly spotted, nicely efficient, and quite bereft of TI. 🙂

CHOSE EQUATORIAL
I always look for the middle.

QUILT-THORACES actually worked! (Plural of thorax)
And THORACIC-CLAQUES
ACQUIESCER (evidently, a word)—RHETORICAL
RHETORICAL—LACQUERS
Quilter Roaches
Same, but not the emotional support animal I’m looking for.
QUILTERS SOUTACHE. A braided border for the quilt?
QUAICHES – SORTAL
Chose equatorial pretty fast
EQUALISERS-SCOTCH
QUICHE-ESCALATOR
Real men in the ascendant.
CHOILS-SEQUESTRA(L)
Really wanted OSTRICHES to work with SEQUELAE and missed SQUEALin the process
OA for me again after failing to find matches for some of the words others succeeded with today.🙄

Love this! The MOST theatrical tree!
COQUETS STEALTHIER

CHOIRS / SEQUESTRAL

EQUALISERS – SCOTCH
(combining words from yesterday and today)
THE EQUATORIAL ICEHOUSE
As petroleum treacle on a coral shoal
Makes a lacquer quilt for a sea grown old
Aphrodisiacs for a curse grown bold–
As paranoid scorn fill a Pharaoh’s eye,
Come squeals and calques, and lie after lie
As the scorpions shout, and the condors cry.
Theatrical words, though once inspired,
Now as sharpened shrapnel, ill acquired,
Sequester rights, all but expired.
Adolescence shadowed, void of trust,
Clichés of human greed and lust,
Condoned and treacherous, no longer just.
But look past the evil traitor’s leer;
See the docile seals, stoic sequoias’ fear;
Look close. (It’s real, the crocodile’s tear.)
Before condolences to those living still,
As a cathartic pause along the endless hill,
Write a codicil to the weather’s will.
A Socratic pause beneath a quarter moon:
Where on an Easter Island sand-swept dune
Turtles triangulate an orthic rune.
And a polar angel builds an elegy,
An equatorial chapel, floating free:
Icehouse of hope in the warming sea.
Oct 6 words: aphrodisiac, paranoid, scorn, Pharoah, scorpions, condor, sharpened, shrapnel, adolescence, condoned, docile, crocodile, condolences, codicil, pause, polar, chapel
Oct 7 words: treacle, coral, shoal, lacquer, quilt, curse*, theatrical, squeal, calques, shout*, acquire, trust*, clichés, treacherous, traitor*, stoic, seal, sequoia, tear, cathartic*, Socratic, quarter, turtle*, orthic, icehouse, equatorial, icehouse
My new fav Jill, surpassing Spacewalker Newborn!
I love it.
….”it’s real, the crocodile’s tear”….😥 this will be requoted
I love this so much 😍😍
Another HISTORICAL – LACQUER.
I definitely have a can or two in my basement.
Love all the unique and creative solutions today! IMO Letterboxed is best when it supports a wide variety of answers, and not a single solution.
