Same here. Pretty quickly. Nice after all the time spent in vain yesterday. 102/112, 19/22, 1, 36
Piquance — Emblematic
I was feeling way too lazy today – got QUINTUPLE immediately, knew it had to be part of the OA, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find a connector. Gave up after just 20 minutes. Also failed to notice PIQUANCE and QUINTUPLICATE.
Irim and RF, awaiting your solutions – good luck to everyone else, and Happy Hump Day to all!
Hi, hon, was in the middle of posting when interrupted; I missed EMBLEMATIC with QUINTUPLE as well. Meanwhile:
“QUINTUPLICATE-EMBLEM in 28 minutes here, but I’m still furious about AMBULANCE-EQUIPT, which I found immediately. If I can have past tense as a legitimate word, I should be allowed past participle, which equipt is. Perhaps Sam needs a grammar book?
Tried PIQUANCE (missed EMBLEMATIC), ANTIPLAQUE, PLAQUE, CLUBMATE, ACQUIT, etc. Looking forward to seeing you soon, Kanishk & RF, my lovelies. Good luck, everyone, and happy Wednesday!”
Commiserations, hon, and all the best for tomorrow.
Ah, well done, Irim! Nice set of words you have there – I only noticed ACQUIT from your list. Have no idea how I missed QUINTUPLICATE!
OA for me in 30 minutes.
Well done Miss Irim.
And agreed on Kanishk-boy, we all have lazy days, that sometimes, we press the give up button early. And sometimes I don’t care if I’m near to a solve. Better luck tomorrow! 🤗

Well done.

I didn’t think anything with a -QUE ending would work today because of the letter arrangement.
Quintuple Emblematic…
The Olympic rings
👍
Piquance Emblematic
QUINTUPLICATE EMBLEM
Piquance – emblematic 🤷🏼♀️
Got the OA but thought it an odd one son kept looking.
Also came up with AMBULANCE EQUIPATE*
* equipate refers to an unusual weather phenomenon in Mexico where light rains appear in the mountains during early winter months.
“Glossary of Geographical and Topographical Terms.” Alexander Knox
Nice! AMBULANCE-EQUIPT* should have been an option, as equipt is a past participle.
Thank you, Irim. Good point. I tried that word a few days ago but it slipped (slipt?) my mind today. 🙂 MW has it.
Piquance emblematic quick one today thinking multiple answers also
Piquance & Emblematic 🍁
Piquance – Emblematic
Piquance emblematic. Never saw quintuple
OA.
OA after some excitement over PALANQUIN.
Was hoping for a partner for PIECEMEAL
but to no avail.
