OA
OA too in less than 15 minutes
😁🍻
Same result in the same time! A very healthy marsupial.
OA but took me forever! I was about to give up
OA and it took longer than forever. Came back repeatedly and only succeeded on my fourth return.
I hope this is not the beginning of a new phase…
the return of the WOMBAT – one of Bernie’s favorites!
Cheers to Bernie! His animal friend is doing well, and his secret conditioning plan sure made this easy for me. Now, where did I park my yacht.
💜
Indeed! The return of our old friend the Wombat – and he’s Thriving! Excellent news! No need to look further! Besides, I’m running out of exclamation points!!
LOL – I definitely thought of you on this one Bernie and the fact that you would love the TI today.
OA after stepping away from it for a few minutes. Got tangled in the IGHT’s and the ING’s and had a brief but unspectacular moment with VOMIT 🙂 Happy August all!
OA eventually but disappointed I couldn’t connect to BOATWRIGHT
Kind of the same for me too …
A great man i knew named Joe Boatwright died recently and I didn’t find out until week before last … BOATWRIGHT was so great because it only left VMN which Vitamin and perhaps some other words could handle but won’t connect to Boatwright.
I saw WAGONWRIGHT but “Not a word” (Naw)!
Some other Naws!:
MIRTHMOVING
WRONGVOTING
HAIRWAVING
TOMATOGROWING
THROWINGIRON
WORTHAVING
NOTWORTHAVING
VIRGINMOTH
INVIGOR
TAINTWORM
THRONGWITH
MINGWORT
and
BIRTHMONTH
BIRTHWORT, interestingly, was “Genius!”, but couldn’t do anything with it either.
And i just didn’t remember “Work it out, Wombats”!!!
😎
WOMBAT / THRIVING
Here’s to You, Bernie!
And by the way, wombats are most certainly real!
So happy to see our favorite marsupial reappear, and doing well to boot!
Wombat Thriving. Pretty quickly today. 👍🏻
OA quickly and glad of it – busy day ahead.
OA with two minutes to spare. Definitive cut off at 9am!
Oa
WOMBAT — THRIVING
I spent quite a bit of time with MOTIVATING, MOTORBOAT, VITAMIN, BAGWORM, and VOMITORIA.
OA again!
WOMBAT, THRIVING
Wow, BILL. VOMITORIA is quite a find!
Personally, I find it difficult to imagine more than one vomitorium at a time (the opulence, you know). ;^)
OA I usually suspect it is, when it clicks into place so smoothly.
Lethargic start to the OA for me.
I guess the extra time is cos one expects compound words.
hope the unigram trend continues.
WOMBAT – THRIVING
As fast as is humanly possible. At least for this human.
Same here today. I have seen people say that they got the answer immediately, but today is the first time I ever did. THRIVING was the first word I tried and then saw WOMBAT right away, the whole thing took about 30 seconds.
Thriving Gambow.
I still don’t know what a gambow is 😧
Ditto. And ditto.
Excellent variation!
Gambow: A low, flat cart, typically two-wheeled and with the sides consisting only of poles, used for carrying hay, corn, etc., over fields or uneven ground.
The Hay Wain, iow.
Or it’s what Rambo calls his grandmother.
🤣 , Mvua. Keep ’em coming!
The WOMBAT is THRIVING in his new habifat at the zoo.
OA. Lovely to see the wombat return! Fiddled with WAINWRIGHT for a while.
Nice find!
It leaves TOMB but nothing to get rid of that pesky V
wombat – thriving
A thriving wombat is such a nice thought.
When under attack, wombats retreat to their burrow while baring their butts (of armor) to the outside. The predator cannot bite into the butt and as the predator attempts to go deeper into the burrow, the predator is literally crushed by the wombat’s butt through an evolutionarily developed twerking movement (of death). The predator is ground into the ground.
conservation success 😊😊
Couldn’t find a two today. Found THRIVING but didn’t see WOMBAT.
Ended up with RIGHTWING GAMBO OVO. GAMBO and OVO were guesses.
Some other words I found: BATHMAT, MOTORING, INHABITING, AVOWING, MOTORBOAT, INGOT, RINGWORM, GAMBIT and BAMBINO.
Wanted to use WOMBAT for awhile. Glad to see its THRIVING
OA.. With alacrity!
WOMBAT – THRIVING It’s been a while since I got the OA
Everyone guessed all the answers…
Here is the full list. There are no Scrabble words today.
** Don’t look at the list if you haven’t finished solving the puzzle **
(The first number is a count and the second number is the number of letters used)
1 – 14 thriving / gambow
2 – 14 wombat / thriving
OA and first two word solve in a couple of weeks. Really wanted to do something with GAMBIT.
For Gambit to work there would have to be a word that ends in g and
contains all the letters: w, v, r, n, h, o. Or ends with t and contains all the letters w, v, r, n, h, o.
Some possibilities are :
throatwort
wainwright
birthright
birthwort
abrogating
aviating
avowing
igniting
inhabiting
intwining
maintaining
mitigating
motivating
nonvoting
rightwing
vitiating
throating
OA finally, after trying lots of other words. Also, why isn’t IRONWRIGHT accepted? It’s not that obscure.
