UNIBROWWACKILY
UNWORKABLY-YOICK (though I initially tried YONIC and YICK) immediately. I was determined to make UNWORKABLY work – even if I had to dig around for a word ending in a u!
Can’t wait to see you, Kanishk and RF, along with your solutions.
Good luck, everyone, and happy Hump Day!
Well done, Irim – OA here in 45 minutes. I spotted UNWORKABLY immediately, and spent an embarrassingly long time searching for a U- or Y-connector to no avail. Still can’t believe I missed YOICK!
Waiting for RF.
Hon, I was actually staggered that they accepted it, given that they didn’t take the more widely known yonic or yick (like yuck).
Well done you – hope all is going well?
Everything’s going well, Irim – thanks for asking! How are you doing? How’s your Hindi coming along?
OA too in 24 minutes.
I, too, spotted UNWORKABLY early but tried in vain to pair to it, and had to move on.
Good job, triumvirate! 😊
Yay, triumphant triumvirate! High fives all around.
Much better, actually, something has clicked with the letters – maybe practice! And it’s good fun knowing the words they’re trying to get me to put together, because I grew up hearing the language (since Urdu & Hindi are mutually intelligible and Bollywood films every weekend). I’ll come to you when I hit a snag. When do you get exam results…and what are you doing to relax?
I too did unworkably. But didn’t get Yoick. Tried doing yuckily. It didn’t work . Yonic and yick too didn’t work.
Brainwork Knuckly
Great solution! BRAINWORK eluded me.
Same here.
Same here, BRAINWORK – KNUCKLY.
Takes a lot of thinking to do math on your knuckles.
UNIBROW – WACKILY…
silly synophrys.
Unibrow Wackily
Tried hard to make UNWORKABLY work and couldn’t but eventually found the OA.
