QUARTZITE—EPOCH
Another tight set of letters today.
Yes, fairly easy find, but perhaps not many alternatives.
OFFICIAL
official
in the OFFICIAL club again
Era not as well known as the Bronze Age
Good one! 😄
I think it was the single year between the Stone Age and the Bronze Age.
🙃
Official – but at least it didn’t take me as long as the last few days,
POCO – ORTHOQUARTZITE =)
Great solution!
Kudos to Tim for finding an alternative solution!
A ’round the back’ approach to this one; I spotted QUARTZ right from the off, then QUIZ, PITCH, then the possible prefixes & suffixes (APO-, PRO-, -IZE), THEOCRAT (THEOCRATIZE was not accepted the way DEMOCRATIZE is, for instance), EPOQUE which pointed to EPOCH which, in turn, led me to think about converting QUARTZ into QUARTZITE.
I too had hopes for Theocratize and was sad to see it rejected… Eventually hit on the official answer through a process much like yours, Sota. Is this another single-solution?
Other finds along the way: Quietize (really?), Critique, Quartet, Trapeze, Pique, Piquet, Pratique, Theorize, Croquet, Coquet, Quiche, Churchize (again, really?), Corporatize, Prioritize.
Had high hopes for Theorize, Critique and Corporatize before finally hitting on Quartzite.
THEORIZE was accepted, but unpairable. Was bummed but not surprised that ‘PATHETIQUE’ was rejected.
Yet another failure today. My best was CHORIZO-OPAQUE-EAT
Chorizo and Opaque are nice, though. 🙂
Failed as well. Got the exact same words as you however.
High cholesterol theme.
Good triple.
I’m also in the triple league with “PIRATIZE-ECHO-OPAQUE”. I think PIQUEUR was a nice find on my way, but E as first letter is always hard, at least for me.
Official.
Saw quartz first. Spent too long on -ize words. Prioritize. Theorize.
Same here. Corporatize, Priortize etc. before seeing Quartzite- Epoch
QUARTZITE – EPOCH came too quickly to *not* be offficial.
Oficial in about a minute which makes up for yesterday’s hackneyed fiasco.😂🤣
These small-n solution sets are getting very tiresome.
quartzite – epoch
Never heard of QUARTZITE but tried it and was pleasantly surprised. Was delighted when it worked with EPOCH which I had just found prior. Had highish hopes for QUIETIZE which I had also never heard of. Relieved to have managed this one. Luck was on my side today hehe.
Sad to see PIQUET – TROCHOZOA not allowed. My marine biology professor would rail against this travesty.
Finally spotted the official and kudos to Tim for finding ORTHOQUARTZITE – some serious geological thinking going on there, and a new word for me!
Yes, it’s up there -here THINGAMAJIGs & JAGUARUNDIs live… 🙂
*where (not here)
Failed today. Also didn’t get the pangram on spelling bee.
My hubris has been shaken
Today, I pangrammed the SB, but certainly not yesterday. We can’t always bring it, can we?
Official and quickly. I had such an arduous day otherwise. Glad for an easy puzzle day.
Was looking at countertops when suddenly the official answer came to me
