#1 today
CONQUESTS- SURVIVED
119 for me
QUESTIONED-DIVORCE here after the briefest flirtation with DESTRUCTIVE/DESTRUCTION (glad to see no answers with those 2!)
RF and Kanishk, lovelies, hope to see you soonest!
Good luck, all, and happy Hump Day!
I’ll bet DESTRUCTIVE/DESTRUCTION show up in the half solutions. I’ll wait a while before posting that. ☕
Oops, my bad, DESTRUCTIVE is in the solution set a few times, but not DESTRUCTION. ✅
I knew it should be, yes, it’s in as a second word, isn’t it? Mea culpa! *slaps forehead* I got QUESTIONED and of course DESTRUCTIVE worked with that, but saw DIVORCE (shorter!) first before I remembered DESTRUCTIVE.
Yeah, i got questioned destructive.
Divorce is more elegant.
VORTICES – SEQUINED here.
Well done Miss Irim. Checking on Kanishk-boy later.
Amazing work, you two- haven’t been able to play LB in a while because of my recent trip to Hong Kong. Had a really nice break from studies- will get back on track starting tomorrow!
A quick TURQUOISE – EVINCED (OA) here, after a brief flirtation with OVIDUCT and CONQUEST.
That wraps up the triumvirate! Until tomorrow.
Wow! Nice! Kanishk-boy! I hope you had a memorable trip to Hong Kong that is one for the books. Did you go to Disneyland?
Yes RF, we went to Disneyland – it was really fun. But I enjoyed Ocean Park more – I really like high-adrenaline rides. We also got to see penguins and pandas!
I thought you were away, Kanishk, am so chuffed you got away and had a trip to Hong Kong…what did you think? Did you enjoy it?
Good luck with the restart tomorrow – hope the marks are all you hope they are and more!
Irim, I LOVED Hong Kong; it was such a memorable experience. I got to try out loads of things, visit places, and make new friends. It was really enjoyable!

This is my favourite solution Today! CORVIDS – SEQUENT here.
DIVORCES SEQUENT
Same here. Started with CONSEQUENT, noticed the remaining letters could spell DIVORCE, and soon figured out how to adapt.
Just found CROQUETED-DIVINES as an alternate.
