CROQUETTYPING
Instant OA
CONQUER RETYPING

Pretty quickly and I’m done for the day.
I missed this obvious connection and ended up with the absurdly inefficient PROTOTYPIC – CONQUERING instead. ALIOW. 🤷♂️
Me too!!! Way too cerebral today: REQUITING-GEOPONIC-CYNIC (after playing with REQUIRING, TONICITY, PICQUETING*)
Yup
CROQUET / TYPING too.
OA
OA super quickly. Looked at Piquing for a hot minute before seeing Croquet.
CROQUET-TYPING
PYRIC-CROQUETING
PYRIC good in Merriam-Webster, Scrabble US (TWL) but not LB
CROQUETING-GEOTROPY
Yep.
PYRITIC-CROQUETING
GEOPONIC-COQUETRY
Nice!
PYRETIC CROQUETING. anyone up for a feverish game of croquet
PYRETIC-CROQUETING
CONQUER-RETYPING
CONQUERING-GEOTROPY
PYRETIC-CONQUERING
PYRITIC-CONQUERING
Same
Same
PYRITIC-CONQUERING here too, after being annoyed that TYPIC^-CONQUERING was rejected.
Had earlier high hopes for PROPINQUITY.
SAME
I got that but must admit to using a word finder tool.
Now you’ve got me wondering… Is it considered acceptable to use online tools or even a dictionary to look for solutions? I sometimes look up words that have have been rejected, or meanings of words I’ve stumbled onto, but that’s about it. I always thought that using outside resources was considered a bit of a cheat, but seeing the sheer numbers of multiple solutions makes me wonder if some people consider it okay.
Replying to Samuel Hanwich: I can see that one might think using a word finder tool is a bit of a cheat and no doubt there are folks playing this game who have far more vast vocabularies and a sharper eye for letter combinations than I. Yesterday’s (03/05) solution was fairly simple and I missed that entirely. Was not even close. However it seems some of the solutions require some sort of investigative effort. I have no problem with it. To me it is something to stimulate the mind and keep it sharp. No one is earning points or winning prizes for this. My day starts with the LA Times crossword, Wordle, and LetterBoxed.
Sam H- I agree the game is more fun , not using references. I’ll check a dictionary if LB doesn’t accept what I think is a valid word. But I do miss when Davel would post some days’ hundreds of solutions
I didn’t mean that to sound accusatory, was really just more curious than anything about whether people might be using other resources to come up with so many multiple answers. Maybe “cheat” was too strong of a word.
reply to Samuel Hanwich. Not to worry, was not taken that way at all. I have no doubt most users have taken advantage of word finders. I consider it a valid tool and make excuses for that. There is no way I, for one, could possible come up with all the answers. Most days I settle for a solution, OA or other, up to and including the “par” score. Finding the actual OA happens at best about once a week. Some days I fail entirely.

CROQUET—TYPING
CONQUER—RETYPING
CRITIQUING—GEOTROPY
CONQUER- RETYPING for me too
CONQUEROR- RETYPING.
Another for CONQUER—RETYPING
I wanted to be that person who ‘got it in first attempt ‘ with requiting and copyer in front. But not allowed. So I’m sulking but can’t dismiss my unrequiting need to make it work.
been there…but then I remind myself it’s just a game….
OA. NOT on the first try but it was fun 🤸🏾♂️
Ha! And I see I am in the same situation as the hilarious Mvua. Now that makes me strut!
I’m not sure I’d sulk too much, because I’ve never seen “copier” spelled with a Y. But I do get the daze this game can put you in of making words seem right. It happened to me the other day with MALARKY, which looked 100% right to me and resulted in the same thing, so imagine my shock to learn that MALARKEY was part of the OA. I was, like, “DOH!”😂
CONQUER – RETYPING by not doing it in the first place.
(PROTO)TYPIC – CONQUERING
” The Art of War”
Prototypic — Conquering, as well. I don’t think that LB accepted Typic
You’re right. Tried to streamline it. Thought I had tested it in LB, but I guess I only tested in OED.
CROQUETING – GYPE
croqueting – gype as well
I found the OA in a couple of minutes, and I am happy about that. Before that I tried CROQUETING but was not familiar with the spelling of the word GYPE. So, I could not make that connection with the remaining letters. However, it was nice to come here to LB answers page and learn the correct spelling of a word I first heard as a kid some sixty years ago. It conjured up a funny flashback memory. Now onto other pursuits. Have a great day.
Same here. Tried GYP and failed, so I added an E.
Pyretic Croqueting
NYCTITROPIC — CONQUERING
PINOCYTOTIC — CONQUERING
PROTOTYPIC — CONQUERING
Also played with PROPRIETOR/PROPRIETORY before finding CONQUERING and working back off the C.
PROTOTYPIC – CROQUETING
Hey I got one that nobody’s mentioned yet!
POGONIC -> COQUETRY
Nice! I am familiar with coquetry but I had never seen pogonic before.
OA 😀
QUIETING-GYROTROPIC*
*Exists but LB doesn’t accept.
I did Pyritic-Conquering!!
CRITIQUING – GEOPONY
Which is very similar to other solutions here but not quite the same.🎉
CONQUERING GEOTROPY
Must admit to using a word finder tool.
OA in about 30 seconds…surprised myself.
Great answers! I got stuck on PROPINQUITY. All I could come up with so far was —
COQUETRY YERPING* (Scot.)
EGO OCTOPI* INQUIRY
OA very quickly.
So close, and super fast, but never saw CROQUET so I missed the OA… saw TYPING but didn’t try it because I did try RETYPING and had got CROQUE, so I was trying to add an -r ending before Retyping… so I did get CONQUER RETYPING…
OA – very fast today
Croquet typing. Conquer retyping. conqueror retyping and the first one I found croqueting gyp even if LB doesn’t accept an oed word
Literally tried thirty five other “q” words before seeing croquet and then conquer
Yes, it did not accept GYP. But it did accept GYPE.
Hence, my answers, CROQUETING
And GYPE
Yes, isn’t this a great game?! Now I know a new word gype. My biological word finder tool found many good words today but took forever to find right ones I wonder if we have many Scottish players
Conquer – Retyping
CROQUETING – GEOPONY
OA
