OCTAVEEXPLAINING
OCTAVE—EXPLAINING
🎹👨🏻🏫
PING—GLOVE—EXACT
Apropos, as I broke out my heated gloves tonight due to the -20°F wind chill. 🥶
Same here. I was unable to put COVALENT, LEXICON, PIVOTAL, & TOXIGENIC to good use.
Ditto…
Octave – Explaining for me too.
I feel silly not finding official despite spending minutes on EXPLAINING. finally settled for PENTAVALENT-TOXICOLOGICAL
Official for me too.
I wanted PENTAGONAL to do something … but ended up with the official
PENTAVALENT–TOXICOLOGY
PENTAVALENT is good enough! You (or me) could have also gone PENTAVALENT – TOXIGENIC (infectious in extra large portions) 🙂
Sure! I had worked with EXOGENIC, but didn’t manage to transfer.
I’m not especially proud of my 21/2, especially when I keep seeming to miss the easy music-related words (like OCTAVE, in this case). But—as you say—it’s good enough!
Right! You play the guitar and have previously missed out on LUTHIER or something -if my memory serves me… No worries, especially as long as you can come up with a solution -otherwise it would sound like a double whammy (by which I don’t mean the pedal). 😉
Right, and as a professor of music theory, missing MUSIC COMPLEXITY a few months ago was certainly a blow to the ego
Official here as well but thoroughly surprised as there seemed to be so many other promising avenues as I was grappling with the combinations.
Official here, too. AXOLOTL made me smile even though I couldn’t do much with it. 🙂
AXOLOTL -wowsers! Totally new to me; such an exotic word signifying an equally exotic & cute little creature!
Isn’t it, though?! They definitely conjure joy in me. I call it the “resting happy face”, similar to the Quokka (one we’ll never be able to use here). 🙂
Always on the lookout for Axolotl! And then when it finally shows up it’s just a distracting dead end. I failed to come up with a solution today before my self-allotted time ran out. Sigh.
Impressive that you give yourself a time limit! I’ll aspire to this.
Official. I discovered pentatonic, pentagonal, toxicological, violencing, etc., etc., (yawn) and finally hit on OCTAVE. I just had a hard time knowing what to do with the p and the v. Pivot was frustrating and useless.🤣😂🤣
Official. But I was in plant mode and really wanted Gloxinia and Agave to work somehow. 🙂
Official but I really wanted toxicological to work somehow.
Oh, I see pentavalent would have worked with toxicological for 2/24.
Official here. After a hard day at work I was glad for a quick and easy solution.
Expect Toxic Contagion Navel Lint
(Worst restaurant review I have ever seen.)
Blech! Talk about expecting the unexpected. I did NOT see that coming!
pentavalent – toxicologic
just wrote a “brief” code in MATLAB to solve for all 2 word solutions. There were 76 today:

However, I don’t think exptl is a word, so 75.
A mighty act of programming, Jeshua! Did you happen to test the more arcane answers to determine whether the puzzle, which as we know can get awfully picky, allowed them? What glossary did you use?
