OLFACTIVE—EMPTY
FOCI—IMPLICATIVELY
FACEPLATE—EMOTIVELY
CALCIFIC—COMPETITIVELY
PALEFACE—EMOTIVITY
MAFIC—COMPETITIVELY
METAFICTIVE—EPICOTYL
PALEOFECAL—LOCOMOTIVITY
I can’t believe I missed MAFIC! Kicking myself right now.
MALEFIC is good also. 👍
FLATCAP—PELVIOTOMY
FLATCAP—PELVIOTOMY
OPTIMIFIC—COEVALITY
POLYFOAM—METAFICTIVE
MALEFIC – COMPETITIVELY. A very inefficient solution but it worked. Got COMPETITIVELY with the F and A remaining but couldn’t connect them. Then remembered MALEFIC from an OA some days back.
I also tried pairing VELOCITY, AMPLIFY, TAPIOCA, LIFECYCLE, FACETIME, PLAYTIME, ACTIVITY and COMPLETELY to no avail.
23/26, 50/57

That is FABULOUS! I love it. OLFACTIVE-EMPTY/EMPTILY here. Nice work. I was hung up on POLYATOMIC and desperately wanted to see if Sam would have allowed COVFEFE, rofl.
Well done, hon, high five! Haven’t seen RF yet, *fingers crossed*
Well done! POLYATOMIC is a great find.
Miss Irim 😊
Same here.
Malefic Competitively

PALEFACE-EMOTIVELY
OLFACTIVE EMPTY here too, but never would have stumbled on it without looking at a word-check site. I totally get the appeal of playing word games to increase your vocabulary, and even the use of outside references to pull up unfamiliar words, no matter how obscure… But I feel like part of the purpose of even playing a game like Letter Boxed is to test your own vocabulary and see what you can pull up from memory and piecing etymological clues together to come up with an answer. It seems like a lot of that spirit of the game is getting lost with some of the recent OAs.
