PURVIEWWOMBAT
OA – At this point I feel that I’ve been conditioned to find wombat, but I was glad to see it just the same. Apparently, their scope of expertise is digging big holes and pooping cubes… Learning is fun!
PURVIEW-WOMBAT also. I think Mr. Ezersky is honoring Bernie with this one!
Agreed!
PURVIEW / WOMBAT here, as well.
Yup. OA for me. Was annoyed I couldn’t make Probative work though.
Same OA after trying to make PROBATIVE work.
Same here, had one letter left (or 3w) with Probative, or Abortive, was about to settle for Wombat Trip Purview when I tried Purview as 1st word and found the OA.
New to this site. What does OA stand for? Thanks for helping the clueless!

Clue: a story that is something wonderful
Fairytale.
Ms.FISHCAKE, correct!
Brilliant! 😉
PURVIEW-WOMBAT after ditching IMPUTATIVE with a sigh of relief.
OA here and mercifully quick. Barely 2 sips into the coffee. Off to SB! Hoping others come up with alternatives 😎
PURVIEW – WOMBAT
Just started and I’m done. Hope I can use the extra time wisely.
Very little falls within the purview of a wombat, though they might think otherwise.
My beloved Wombat! And right after his cousin the Numbat! It’s a marsupial family reunion. Naturally it took me no time at all to find the OA. Nice to think it’s a tribute to yours truly, but like life, it’s surely purely random.
Indeed! Marsupials aplenty. Less so for birds … 🐦 BARBET, IORA, MAO, OMAO, PIPIPI, PIPIT, TIT, TWITE 🐦🐦 IIWI, PEWEE, PITTA.
Surely these can’t all be real 😉
Yep, the little guy is back!
The only animal whose poop is cube-shaped.
A marsupial, its purview down under,
Of her kingdom she is a defender;
Marking landscape discreetly,
Six sided*, uniquely!
Down under, the wombat’s a wonder.

OA in less than 10.
Briefly focussed on Primitive before seeing Purview.
Saw Wombat of course 😁 But just wasn’t seeing its match so had to leave it at 3: Wimp-Probative-Euro. 🙄
Yeah. I went with wept- tump -probative.
OA very quickly after abandoning PRIVATE.
twit / trump / probative
Browbeat Trump Private
there is only 1 solution today
Got OA in matter of seconds… but not sure what’s the TI
Is there a word or phrase for when the solution uses each letter only once (with the exception of the overlapping letter)? I find it especially satisfying.
All I’ve seen when any solution accomplishes this maximum efficiency, whether the official answer or not, is calling it a 13/2. (thirteen letters/two words). So today is a 13/2!
Ooops- I misused “maximum efficiency” as I have seen super-solvers get a 12/1 on this site.
OA, didn’t take too long.
purview – wombat
OA, and surprisingly (for me) it didn’t take long. I spent more time trying to find another solution, and really wanted to use amputate but…
Two words I’ve been dying to find in Letterboxed are AZIMUTH and ARBITER. I keep looking for them but no luck.
OA today
Saw Wombat right off the bat but couldn’t see purview…as a matter of fact I didn’t even see view because if I had… sigh…
There was 1 two-word solutions today. No Scrabble words
1 – 13 purview / wombat
OA after going back to PROBATIVE and IMPUTATIVE a number of times. Also liked BROWBEAT and ROWBOAT.
Tried a lot of options like writeup, upbeat, browbeat, primitive, cbortive, private etc. before finding the OA…would have loved to find a match to imprimatur/a..alas, was not to be.
