The answers are:
EPICCARBOHYDRATE
Immediate PIC-CARBOHYDRATE. Did carbohydrate and for some reason, didn’t go to EPIC, reversed and did PIC – probably because I’m pre-coffee. So this is a reversible one, and had I thought at the moment I was rejoicing in CARBOHYDRATE, I’d have gone CARBOHYDRATE-EPIC. Interesting that EPI, as short for epipen wasn’t accepted, but that may be a trademark.
Looking forward to seeing my besties, Kanishk and RF with their solutions. Best of luck all, congrats to solvers, commiserations to non-solvers. Happy Hump Day!
Well done, Irim! OA in 8 minutes here, and I think this was the first time I got three solutions at once – including PIC – CARBOHYDRATE and CARBOHYDRATE – EPIC. Glad to see another reversible OA!
RF, looking forward to see you join us! Good luck and Happy Wednesday to all.
OA as well in 3 minutes.
Yay!!! The triumvirate is already complete. 🤗
You guys were impressively quick. Didn’t struggle for too long. Had the sense it would be a science related word. Don’t know why Bradycardic wasn’t accepted. And then got a letter away from Brachytherapy. Stymied by the P and Y on the same side. Both Brady and Tachy were in there and maybe someone has an answer where the CARPET matches the DRAPE(RY). 98/105, 14/15, 10, 36
Got hung up on CARDBOARD — never saw CARBOHYDRATE.
