The answers are:
BEREFTTOXICOLOGY
BEREFT-TOXICOLOGY (OA) in about 10 minutes. Had thought about EXOERGIC and FIERCELY, played around with a few non-possibilities, then saw TOXIC and knew it was part of the solution. Went for TOXILOGIC, then thought, no, I need to use the Y, and as soon as I put in TOXICOLOGY, I saw BEREFT.
Kanishk and RF, my lovelies, hope to see you soon!
Good luck, everyone, and happy Hump Day!
ARGH, my kingdom for an edit button *TOXICOLOGIC, obviously, and looks to be singular.
Miss Irim, I failed again, twice in a row. Huhuhu…Crossing my fingers for Kanishk-boy. I only saw half the OA which is TOXICOLOGY. BEREFT eluded me. Huhuhu. Well done Miss Irim.
I failed too, RF! Spent HOURS on this one – was a hundred percent sure TOXICOLOGY would be part of the OA, no matter how hard I tried, I never saw BEREFT. Also thought REFLEXIBLE might lead me to a solution.
Well done, Irim!
Oh, my lovelies, I’m so sorry! To be SO close. *hugs all around* and tomorrow is another day.
BTW, Kanishk, weirdly, once Duolingo started making me deal with words, the letters started to make sense!
REFLEXOLOGY would have been nice, but I failed to pair it.
Oa
Bereft Toxicology
BEREFT – TOXICOLOGY…
Empty liquor cabinet.
Bereft Toxicology
Bereft Toxicology
Didn’t get any sleep last night. So got stuck on this one thanks to being set on REFLEXOLOGY and REFLEXIBLE. And surprised BIOTOXICOLOGY and BIOTOXIC not accepted. Altho I could not match them up.
I will add this alternative to the OA just for fun.
BEFRET* TOXICOLOGY
*Quaint poetic term.
