Fast OA, Happy Easter🐰‼️
There have been 6 singular-solution OAs in the last 12 days. Back when I started playing this game in July 2025, there used to be no more than 4 one-offs in a month on average. Where has this game headed off to?
I failed today. This wasted one hour of my time. I was ecstatic to find POLYCHROME, which left out only three letters, but to no avail – HYDROMEL, HERALDRY, ROLEPLAY, PLACECARD and PRECOMA were some of the ones which I felt would be part of a valid solution.
RF and Irim, awaiting your answers – good luck to everyone solving and happy Sunday to all.
Yes to POLYCHROME Kanishk-boy, I saw it too, thought it will lead me to a solve. Too bad I gave up on APOPLEXY because I found it. No matter how many times I came back to it, I just can’t see DRACHMA. But, well, I spent more time on POLYCHROME. Arghhhh…
Will Miss Irim find today’s OA? Will find out later…😉

Failed today. Polychrome was as close as I got.
*Groan* another singular solution needing specialized knowledge. Tried hard to get POLYCHROME to work, had APOPLEXY in mind but dismissed it. Even if i had tried it, dont think i would reach DRACHMA – although i know the word, it was last used in the early 2000s (20+ years ago!) and wouldnt have thought they’d use (obsolete) currencies here.
Struggled with POLYCHROME went with
XEROMORPH* HYDROCEPHALY
