TRAPEZEEQUINOX
Oa quickly. Relief after cornflake
Ditto.
Yup saw Equinox and thought that’s gotta be it…
Yup, me too, OA, got equinox quickly then knew I needed a word ending in e!
Yup!
OA Today!
Really wanted Quartzite😔
Same!
OA here as well. Didn’t post yesterday, but was pretty surprised Cornflake was accepted. Only reason I think I got it was because it’s my son’s favorite cereal.
QUARTZINE/ EXPO
Quartzite
Export
No N
Me, too!
QUARTZINE-EXPO (and any other words that begin with EXPO).
Same QUARTZINE – EXPO
I saw TRAPEZE, but not EQUINOX
Same
I got quixotize and erupt (didn’t really know that quixotize was a word but it is!)
NK! After 2 failed days found QUARTZINE – EXPO
Also found EQUINOX quickly but didn’t see trapeze (didn’t try after I found QUARTZ, then QUARTZINE)
Quartzine export
3-wotds again!!

QUARTZINE – EXPO
Interesting how E is the linker in all the solutions I found. Any others? ☕☕
Quartzine – expo
Expone isn’t in the word list (I know, I wanted QUARTZITE to work too) – and while I sympathise with the frustration when legitimate words aren’t in the word list, this one is obsolete, so…
Yes, I only found it in OED. I didn’t look elsewhere. My steps are usually LB, OED, MW, then at last resort Wiktionary.
I was sad that QUIXOTE didn’t work and there was no “C” for QUIXOTIC. I didn’t think of QUIXOTIZE. Nice!
OA for me, an I’M jealous of QUIXOTIZE too.
Quixotize. Enrapt.
OA in under 3 minutes after a brief flirtation with QUARTZITE and desperately wanting EXPONENT to work!
TRAPEZE – EQUINOX too! Seeing Q, X, and Z, thought it would be a battle, then EQUINOX jumped at me🤭.
QUARTZINE EXPO, aka rock show.
Same as Jay.

OA almost immediately.
Quartzine export. Has to be good for someone’s economy.
OA on my first trip around the square. Admittedly, I’ve been looking at the Equinox lately, thinking about getting a new vehicle. Is this a sign that I should swing over to the dealer?
TRAPEZE – EQUINOX
For every swing there is a season.
OA after a quick look at QUARZ but not recognising QUARTZINE
Quixotize Enrapt
First OA in what seems like ages.
OA in no time.
TRAPEZE — EQUINOX
Found EQUINOX but really struggled to find TRAPEZE. Found EXPERTIZE, QUARTZITE, and OXAZINE but no connectors.
LB didn’t accept PARAQUITO, but my protest solve is PARAQUITO — OXAZINE 🙂
OA
OA after a long time.
Got equinox early, but trapeze made me suffer!
Exactly the same process. But what a relief after sticking to it.
Quartzine-Export in like a minute. Took a long while for the OA.
QUIXOTIZE-ENRAPT
Me too. If you don’t have the Q, X and Z all in the same word, it doesn’t count! 🙂
Another QUARTZINE EXPO here, very quickly, to my relief after hours of unsuccessful 2w’s yesterday. Was sure it would be the OA, but this time I didn’t think of Equinox, I did see Trap but not Trapeze.
Quartzine expo/export/exporter
OA quickly today. A relief after yesterday, on which I just completely bailed. 😒
OA
OA took me about 15 minutes.
Also EQUITIZE* EXPARTITION*
(*equitize is a common term in the stock market; the latter is French, but usually hyphenated in english, although occasionally it appears as one word — as in this poem:
“…expartition is in an example of work, a touching beat is the best way.”
Gertrude Stein, Geography and Plays.
Thought it would have to be QUARTZITE, finally stuck in QUARTZINE out of desperation and was surprised it was accepted, and EXPO was a no-brainer.
OA.
Quixotize – enrapt
QUIXOTIZE ENRAPTURE. Must admit even that took a lot of Word Finder assistance.
had started with QUARTZITE but was not able to match it to second word.
OA in a minute or less. Saw EQUINOX immediately. A lot easier with a Q, X, and Z!
OA for me as well, although I did cringe when I saw Q, X, and Z all in a row. Fortunately it unfolded pretty quickly.
Quartzine export
Trapeze equinox
trapeze – equinox
OA, pretty easily.
OA, after finally giving up on QUARTZITE.
Got the OA today….this was the first time for me:)
