The answers are:
TOXICCHALCEDONY
HATED – DOXYCYCLINE.
Good one!
Thanks!
Oxytonic Chelated
Great, Radio!
I finally saw the less efficient HATCHED- DOXYCYCLINE
Thanks!
Tried both DOXYCYCLINE* and EXHALTED* neither of which was accepted by LB ?@@$$! So came up with CYTOTOXIC and CHANELED instead 🙂
My solution – HATED DOXYCYCLINE- was accepted.
Same answer. Can’t believe doxycycline was accepted and detoxicant wasn’t
I had a similar OXYTOCIC – CHANELED.
Hated/chanted/detached doxycycline
Hatched anyone?
Chelated
Doxycycline
Same!
CYCLOHEXANE-EDIT
Edict. T and I are on the same side.
Oops, left out the C. Thanks!
same here
Cyclohexane — Edict, too
HANDCYCLE – ENDOTOXIN
Endotoxic Chocolatey
So, I had Cytotoxic and was bummed because surely Channeled couldn’t be spelled with one N. Apparently that is not correct. But I kept plugging away and arrived at Handcycle-Endotoxin. Did not think I would find anybody else with this same answer. And yet….
Cyclohexane edict
Me too
HANDCYCLE-EXOTOXIN
Detached – Doxycycline
CYTOTOXIC-CHALCEDONY
DIATONIC — CYCLOHEXANE
CYCLOHEXANE — EDICT
DIATONIC—CYCLOHEXANE
🎼 ⬡ C₆H₁₂
It would have been perfect if CYCLOHEPTANE could have been connected. A carbon for each note!
CYTOTOXIC-CHANELED
Same!
Oops-oxytocic-chaneled
Oxytocin-chaneled
EXHALED—DICYNODONT
😤🦕
That’s a good one!
Thanks. I couldn’t find the right dinosaur emoji though, so I chose the Sauropod, 🦕. It was either that, or T-Rex. 🦖 🙂
Endotoxic/Chocolaty
doxycycline – etchant
Nice!
Slight variant: HALTED – DOXYCYCLINE (since I hated it 🙂
Had CYTOTOXIC and dismissed CHANELED thinking it needed the double L. Oh well. Fun to see all the different solutions today!
CYCLOHEXANE – ENTAILED
Didn’t see edict, which is more succinct.
HYALINE- ENDOTOXIC
ENDOXIC* CHOCOLATEY
or LB approved ENDOTOXIC CHOCOLATEY
OA
Poisonous Quartz
Didn’t get any 2w, not even made-up ones, didn’t know that 2nd word or others I see here. Really hoped Intoxicate/d or Holiday would work… here are some 3w’s: LATCHED DOXY YIN, LAIN NOTCHED DOXY, ECHO OXYACID DENTAL, INTOXICATED DELAY YEH, INTOXICATE ETCHED DELAY, NACHO OXYACID DELTA, INTOXICATE ETCH HOLIDAY, NOTCH HOLIDAYED DETOX, and my final answer I submitted: HOLIDAY YEN NONTOXIC.
Dioxane entelechy
OXYTONIC-CHANELED
Oxytocic chaneled
First time here. Both words already posted with other matches, but I found:
OXYTONIC – CHELATED
OXYCHOLINE – ENACTED
OXYCHOLINE-ENACTED

So many answers, each more incomprehensible than the last.Managed to find Toxic Chalcedony. Well, it CAN be a rather nasty green… but it does go nicely with yesterday’s Bioform Malachite, also not a thing.
Been too busy to post for days (although of course never too busy to noodle away at the puzzle for hours on end), so I’m backfilling. Forward into the past!
