THIS, painfully good.
Same! Spotted VEXATIOUS immediately, took a while to connect the remaining letters.
I was surprised it wasn’t the official answer.
You type so much, but say so little.
You’re insufferable. I’m not going to argue with you any further. I have things to do, unlike you.
Same here. And also surprised it’s not OA
Same here
Oh, this is excellent!
VEXATIOUS – SUNBATH also.
tan your hide
And another Vexatious— Sunbath, which I also expected to be the OA

*INEXHAUSTIVE-EBO*
*INEXHAUSTIVE good in OED
*EBO good in OED
I’m not a fan of solutions that borrow words from other dictionaries. If LB doesn’t accept it, it’s not a solution.
I make my own rules and you should mind your own business.
P.S. – If you and I played Scrabble, I’d crush you like a grape.
I don’t have a problem with your rules. Keep playing the game your way.
But your lists are extremely annoying. You don’t have to post every single solution you find.
No I don’t, but I’m gonna continue to do it just for you.

BOVINE – EXHAUST
“… foul wind is but foul breath, and foul breath is noisome; therefore I will depart without comment.”

Your paraphrased quote from “Much Ado About Nothing” is well said. Kudos.
…and I should add, also quite humorous
Same, OA after a brief flirtation with EXHAUSTIVE
I’ve noticed that none of the official solutions contain words which begin and end with the same letter. Anyone knows why?
Next question, please
Sometimes they do.
Oa
With unnecessary -IVE:
BOVINE – EXHAUSTIVE.
OA
VEXATIOUS — SUNBATH
Spent lots of time with SUBTEXT and OSTENTATIOUS, but never saw EXHAUST.
Had vexatious but couldn’t see sunbath. Ended up with Bovine Exhaustive
Got VEXATIOUS SUNBATH immediately.
Also tried BOI* INEXHAUSTIVE**
*both in OED. **also in MW
Vexatious sunbath . One way or another they usually are. Vexatious was first word seen, got impatient went to extensive , resized H was the problem. Saw bath and knew that would end the vexation
