BACTERIUMMAXIMIZED
OA,+
TEXTURIZED—DICAMBA*
I had bacterium early on, but never saw maximixed.
Tried dicamba with texturized, but not accepted.
Nor was dacetuzumab ☹️
(from yesterday’s puzzle)
NIGHTHAWKS
Warships stalking in a thawtless* fight,
Thawts shrinking in the war’s twilight,
Lights sprinkled on a field of white,
Wights twinkling in an endless night,
As nighthawks spiral– a sparkling sight,
In a thawing spring, in their foraging flight.
*For some reason, LB accepts the eye dialect spelling ‘thawt’,
though it is not a valid Scrabble word.
Powerful imagery, with at least two full solutions from Dec 1. Nice!
Love it.
My new favourite, Jill! ♥️
Thanks for providing beauty on the site, Jill, on a tough puzzle day.
Wonderful!
OA
I don’t think there’s any other accepted answer (except for eubacterium which only adds a superfluous prefix to the OA)
OA
Oa
🐘: Addax, Cat, Deer, Mauzer, Mudi, Red Deer
🌈: AZURE #007FFF, CREAM #FFFDD0, MAIZE #FBEC5D, ECRU #C2B280, RED #FF0000
⚛️: AMERICIUM ₉₅Am, IRIDIUM ₇₇Ir, CERIUM ₅₈Ce
🍕: RED RICE, ICE TEA MIX, BREAD and BUTTER, ICE CREAM, MACADAMIA, TURMERIC, and an “ICE TEA vs. ICED TEA” distinction. 🙂
I’m starting to think my that my food list is not extensive enough, so I should build it up. ☕
typo.
first “my” should be removed.
I too wish for the Edit Comment function.
OA. Thought that I might make something out of cauterized or exactitude but neither worked for me.
Bacteremic Cauterized
OA. Sickeningly difficult today 🤯
OA
eubacterium – maximized
There was one besides the OA:
eubacterium / maximized
Just another OA, and not much ornithologically: 🐦 BABAX, BAZA, BRUBRU, EMU, AZURE TIT, TUI, TURCA 🐦🐦 MURRE
I confess I love Limu Emu.
OA. I was stuck for a while with MACABRE-EMIT-TEXTURIZED before spotting Maximize(d). Seems awfully clunky for the OA.
This is really great!
OA. Got stuck on CAUTERIZED and RECTUM for longer than I would have liked. 😬
Ouch!
😆
Me too…thought cauterized was key…couldn’t make bxm happen
Some 3 word solutions:
act / texturized / dumb
bud / dimerize / exact
rumba / acidize / exite
ziti / imbrue / exacted
abud / dimerize / exact
criticize/exacted/dumb was as close as I got.
OA
School libraries during finals season.
Nice theme, Ricky! 🤧
OA. Nearly stopped at Cauterized Dumb with a dangling x until I revisited Maximized.
I also found a Breadcrumb but it lead me nowhere.
I tried it with brexzit, but for some unknown reason it wasn’t accepted
OA, and surprised it was, seemed too long. MAXIMIZED seemed key when I first found it, but had to come back to it after a lot more searching. Was stuck on BACTERIZE for a long time because it felt so efficient, so I was pleasantly surprised when the two came together in a solution.
Tough one today. I had Maximized but didn’t see Bacterium.
Settled for CAMBRIC CAUTERIZED DIXIT
OA today
OA. I got to it wicked late so it’s good to have a one-off solution for that reason alone. But in general I prefer more open-ended arrays.
Bacteremic Cauterized
But that has no x
OA. Was hoping for a challenge this time, but oh well
