OA
Not seeing much else today.
B, X, and Z, oh my!
🙂
Yey! OA…in about 5 minutes.
Quick OA here as well.
You letterboxed nerds got me. What’s OA stand for? I eventually got it but took longer than 5 minutes. I saw Bronze but was intimidating by that UIX lineup.
Hey, JIM,
OA is Official Answer.
Same…in around 7 minutes
Found the OA quickly enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s another one-off.
Bronze Exhuming – Lara Croft’s side hustle.
OA.
OA really fast today.
OA in 10 minutes. While working with BRONZING I could see the letters in EXHUME as well, but couldn’t see how the connection would work. But when I switched to EXHUMING it became obvious.
Yup!
OA almost immediately.
OA and no -ize which pleases me.
Same thought here!
EXHUMING immediately, BRONZE after playing with -IZE/IZING to no avail!
OA…..one for the detectorists
😀
☺️ wasn’t it in the Goldfinger plot?
BRONZE-EXHUMING…
Where did they dig up that particular shade of spray tan?
Eeeewww…😆
Meh
OA.
Oa
OA
Bronze-exhuming…in 5 minutes.
OA
OA very quickly
BRONZE — EXHUMING
HERBORIZE* — EXHUMING (HERBORIZE is in the OED, but not accepted by LB)
Initially played with BRONZER, EXHUME, EXHUMER, and BOXING.
Good catch with HERBORIZE!
☕☕
As you pointed out, U, X, Z plus M and B make for a really restricted set of potential words!
HERBORIZE is good in OED, Merriam-Webster, Collins, Wiktionary and Scrabble UK (SOWPODS). Another ridiculous LB oversight.
It’s difficult trying to communicate effectively when words we all use every day aren’t universally accepted.
OA, as expected with a reasonably quick solve.
Same here!
bronze – exhuming
Not fast , but OA. Reionizing led to exhumer. Exhuming left four letters and there was bronze
Great find with IONIZING! 🙂
🕺😊
*ZEROXIER-REHUMBUG??? 🤣
“Mr. Scrooge, here’s that lease you wanted me try and forge for you again.”
“Cratchit, no, this won’t do. It’s too zeroxy, even ZEROXIER than the last one. Do it again!”
“But, Mr. Scrooge, can’t I do it tomorrow. It’s Christmas.
“Humbug.
“Did you just humbug me?!”
“Humbug.”
“Did you just rehumbug me?!”
😆
we have an LB Shakespeare in Jill, and now an LB Dickens in Benjamin
OA
OA and
HEROIZING GUMBO OX
Sorry, should be
HEROIZER GUMBO OXER
Lol. My bad. Got Zeroxier (above) stuck in my head.
Here it is:
HEROIZING GUMBO OXER
Oxer is a word? I had ZEROING GUMBO with H X leftover, and HEROIZING GUMBO missing the X, made-up non-word “GUMBOX” for a phony 2w solution, ha… settled for 4w HEROIZING GUN NUMB BOX. Found one more: BOXER REZEROING GUM MEH. The last word says it all!
OA
And I didn’t have to spend all day on it like I did the last two days to get 2W.
Why does that aha moment when it clicks, and you realize all the letters come together for the second word, have to be so incredibly brief? It’s such a high.
OA. Got EXHUMING quickly. Five minutes or so looking for -IZE then got BRONZE.
what does OA mean?
I assume Official Answer, but don’t quote me.
Ann and Jim- I’ve heard both Official Answer and Original Answer.
As an OG, in on the creation, I can affirm that OA is shorthand for Official Answer, although LB never calls it that.
You may also come across TI – that’s short for Thematic Integrity. And ALIOW – At Least It’s Over With.
OA very quickly!!
OA Saw EXHUMING right away, but it took me a few minutes to see BRONZE.
Very first words I saw were EXHUME and EXHUMING, but I never found BRONZE, and no 3w’s today…ZEROING GUMBO needs H X, REZEROING was ok’d but I couldn’t find a 2nd word to end in R using all the other letters. HEROIZE ok. HEROIZING GUMBO lacked X. BORE EXHUMING needed Z. (made up 2w’s for fun, but they’re not real words: Heroizing “Gumbox”, and Bore “Exhuminizing”)
Bronze Exhuming
for “tomorrow”: VARIES- STOPWATCH
