VESTIBULE-EXCERPT: OA in 5 minutes after trying EXCLUSIVE, PRECLUSIVE, then realised VESTIBULE would take out the pesky V and B, and there was EXCERPT right there.
Looking forward to seeing my besties, Kanishk and RF, soon.
Good luck, everyone, and happy Thursday!
PERCEPTIBLE – EXCLUSIVE. In 13 minutes.
Good job Miss Irim. Looking forward to Kanishk-boy’s solution. Good LB day today with many options.
RF, we posted at the exact same time! Well done. And nice solution.
I’m glad to see another puzzle with plenty of options for a change.
🤗
Good job, Irim! I got my solution in five minutes as well – spotted VESTIBULE right away, but for some reason didn’t see EXCERPT – PRESELECTIVE – EXURB here, because I was determined to eliminate the B and X in one go.
Come on, RF, we’re rooting for you! Can’t wait to see your solution.
Congratulations to the triumphing triumvirate! Well done, both, and excellent solutions. I forgot EXURB was a word, so thank you for reminding me. Funny how I was happy to leave the X on its own, but wanted the V and B out of the way.
I love it when we have so many options.
Hope your day is a wonderful one and see you tomorrow – are you both keeping well?
There is pain in my days lately, Miss Irim. How’s life in the UK Miss Irim, and in India Kanishk-boy?
subvertible except… whatever we tell you isn’t. And if that doesn’t make sense, well, there you go.
