      1. Got the OA and then spent some time down the skimboard rabbit hole. I thought it might be another name for plasterboard, I was very wrong.

    1. Glad I gave up early. I was expecting some foreign Mumbojumbo (looks good but contains unsatisfyingly few letters) and was surprised to find the OA is all english!

  1. Radioactive Litters

    Mumbojumbo of litters again!!!! I had a feeling that the only way through is a funny OA! Intuitively, I had a feeling that BOARD is involved so I invented JAMBOARD which is of course not a valid word.

    Again, the OA is out of range in my little brain dictionary. Huhuhu

    First glance at the litterboxed screams foreboding! Hahaha…So, i gave very early.

    Early mourning at the litterboxed. 🟣⚫️🟣⚫️

  2. OA but out of little more than luck.

    Decided to give up on finding a 2 fairly quickly when I couldn’t find anything promising. Was struggling to find a 3 and thought I’d revisit BOARD and then randomly tried SKIMBOARD as I thought it might be something relating to a sport. I only just remembered what a SKIMBOARD actually is. I was originally picturing a flat surface which people might play bowls or something on lol.

    Extremely tough selection of letters today. Never heard of SJAMBOKS by the way.

  3. OA for me today. I think SKIMBOARD has cropped up before – if not in an OA, then someone used it in their own answer. Otherwise, this would have taken me a lot longer.

    1. Steve you have an incredible memory. I did, in fact, use
      cysts-skimboard as a solve on july14! I almost feel like I should apologize.

      1. TK, I too must have first encountered Skimboard in your solution back on Bastille Day. Apologies not accepted! Without your Bastille Day answer, I would never have gotten the OA today.

    1. Hey a 4 like me … Tried to come back to this after work and still couldn’t come up with anything “better” than RIGOROUS… Settled on GRUBS-SKIM-MAJOR-RAD

  4. Animal Kingdom. Work in progress. I have the letter restrictions in place, and I tested for LB and PSW, with mixed results.

    Mammals: Babirusa³, Baiji³, Boskimo³, Briard¹, Brug³, Miki³, Oribi, Saiga, Sambar, Sjambok
    Reptiles: Boa, Mamba
    Birds: Bird, Ibis, Jabiru, Uguisu³
    Fish: Barb, Bass², Gar, Gourami, Mojarra²

    ¹ PSW
    ² double-lettered
    ³ non-LB, non-PSW

    1. I’ve been on here for a couple months and still can’t figure out what PSW is… Pacific Southwest? Or is it 3 major word games as word sources? P— Scrabble Wordle? Or something else entirely?

      1. Permitted Scrabble Word, I believe. The word lists for LB and Scrabble diverge considerably. As I recall, one of our number was recently able to confirm that LB sources to the OED.

        1. Thanks Bernie, you beat me to it. 🙂
          What’s the others we use?
          OA is Official Answer
          TI is Thematic Integrity
          ALIOW is At Least It’s Over With
          And of course the number system 13/2, 14/3, etc…

      2. It stands for Playable Scrabble Word. Many times a certain word will be unaccepted in Letter Boxed but yet it’ll be a valid word in Scrabble.

        The LB wordlist evidently falls way short of the wordlist for Scrabble!

        ☕☕

        1. Oh yes, of course, PLAYABLE! My sincere thanks for the clarification, Mark. I apologize for misinforming you, MBEE!

  5. OA here. I learned Skimboard only recently, from LB in fact, so everything comes ‘round right.
    Surprised to hear of Sjambok! I thought it was Jambok, and I thought it was an antelope of some kind – thinking of Springbok, I suppose. Oh so wrong!

  6. Not even close for me today, but thanks to the erudition of LB friends, I learned two new words:
    My great-grandmother was a Moujik.
    And the sinister-looking Sjambok is available online for only $32.99, and apparently “an effective means of self-protection, whether from venomous snakes, or from varmints of the two-legged variety!”

  7. SKIMBOARD? SJAMBOK? Glad I gave up early….there was no way.

    I did learn the meaning of BIJOU this round though. And loved finding MUMBOJUMBO

    1. Same for me — Never heard of or would’ve guessed SKIMBOARD. Found BIJOU as well, along with ROMAJI, but glad I gave up early.
