      1. Another Preys Souvlaki (a strangely specific carnivore) plus Overplays Suki (and loses a regular customer). Also Overlays / Overpays / Overplays / Layovers Souplike (soup is very flexible!). One of the few “-like” words LB likes.

    1. SURMOUNT works following LASCIVIOUS. (That was the pair I came up with. Got the OA today. I come here only to verify that my answer is *the* answer. I was confident that PREVIOUSLY and YAK were it. After all, you rarely get a word that uses 10 of the puzzle’s 12 letters.)

    2. I saw VALKYRIES* SOUP in a matter of seconds but LB wouldn’t make way for those riders. It took me a heck of a lot longer to uncover the OA.

      1. OA and Steph *already spoke* the perfect TI.

        Also, it is unacceptable to make “valkyries soup” but it is fine to be a “supersaver”, so at least you can get a good deal on the ingredients.

          1. VALKYRIES-SOUP here too.
            OED and PSW have it, so It’s good, couldn’t be bothered to look for another answer.

          2. Also had Valkyries – Soup, but eventually found…
            [ Speakeasies – Savourly ]
            Took awhile found so many promising words

          3. Also was close with…
            Polkas – Savouries (no Y)
            Polkas – Survive (no Y)
            Alkalisers – Savouries (no P)
            Alkaliser – Resolver (no UPY)
            Alkalisers – Survey (no PO)

        1. Ha! Same. A bunch of words not accepted (VALKYRIES, UPLAYS etc). Landed on OA finally after playing with PERVASIVE, PERVIOUS, POLKAS, EVASIVE, bla bla bla

          1. Hey Bruce!
            SERIOUSLY was seriously fruitless for me, though LB accepted it.
            And OVERSERIOUS was also accepted by LB but i couldn’t find a match.
            Then with OVERSERIOUSLY
            LB drew the line and said No!.
            But i could match it – Davel’s #151, #186, #189.

            I also spelled out
            LAVOISIER
            but turns out that’s a name, not a word … Lavoisier was the discoverer of oxygen and is considered the father of modern chemistry. Also he worked on water pollution and air pollution in Paris. His personal wealth enabled him to found the most advanced laboratory in the world and many young scientists studied there.
            However, because he was rich the French Revolution charged him with taz fraud and cut off his head.
            Less than two years later the French government declared he was falsely convicted, and “completely exonerated” him.

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_Lavoisier

        2. VALKYRIES*–SPURIOUS (less efficient, yes; I’d found the later first, then paired with the former. Not such a fan of Wagner, anyway.)

          Also, OVERPLAYS–SUKI. The S-word here was a shot in the dark, but evidently it’s the Thai version of hotpot.

        3. VALKYRIES – SOUP was my original idea too, but LB didn’t accept it 😒

          But I eventually found REPLAYS – SOUVLAKI

          TI: a second helping 😋

  1. Thought I had it immediately with VALKYRIES – SOUP but it didn’t count, but got (OS)PREYS – SOUVLAKI not long after

    1. Thought I’d share the other puzzles I do each day in case you guys were looking for recommendations:
      Wordle, Plusword, Quordle, Polygonle, Quadragonle, Strands and Connections. Other puzzles I do now and again include Semantle, Squaredle and Squardle. There’s also a word game I found recently that some of you guys might like called Pilfer.
      If anyone has any other recommendations, I welcome them.

      1. I have tried hellowordl.net which lets you choose any word length, but even increasing only to six letter makes it exponentially more difficult (for me anyway). I will check out the ones on your list. Thanks.

      2. contexto can be fun. It’s one of those things you can start in the morning and go back to throughout the day as you have spare time to think.

        1. Thanks guys. I gave hellowordl.net ago and it’s cool. Maybe I was lucky but I tried it for the first time with the longest word and got it in 3 in a few minutes which was quite satisfying.

      3. Hey Peter
        LetterBox, Strands, Connections, and Wordle are all i have time for lately, but i will definitely look up the others you listed!

        In the Sudoku realm there is a game called 2048 that is fast paced and surprisingly hard, especially at the beginning. What makes it hard is keeping room to work in and the unpredictablity of the values of the numbers that the game will give you to work with. It’s not at all like classical Sudoku but it’s often found by websearching “Sudoku 2048”. For me, i had to use a iPad to play it – my phone’s screen was too small.
        Cheers!!!

    2. Christopher Stewart

      Me too. Reminds of a song when I was a kid, “Ah suki suki now. Cotton candy, sweet as gold, let me see you tootsie roll!”

    1. I also found a definition of Suki as a buyer or seller in a commercial arrangement where a customer makes regular purchases in exchange for favorable treatment.

  2. Here is the full list including Scrabble words:
