CAFETERIAAQUALUNG
OA certain I have seen AQUALUNG in this game recently….
OA. 17 letter combo didn’t make this any easier.
Well giving up after having some good 3 word combos but nowhere near oa. Did have GLACIER REFREQUENT ( but the latter probably not a real word although could see using it)
I was stuck on FREQUENT and GLACIER so made it work in a 3 word solution FREQUENTER RUNG GLACIER
I had the same “solution” but found REFREQUENT wasn’t acceptable. Definitely think it’s more legit than AQUALUNG! 😂
@Oscar: Refrequent >> aqualung
OA, somewhat less than swiftly… I suspect this is a one-off solution, as Refrequent is not accepted.
Like Steph, I seem to recall Aqualung from another recent puzzle. Not too happy to be reminded of that ghastly song AGAIN!
Sat on the park bench, but never found a meal today.
I just wanted Liturgical to work…
Me too! Also ENERGETIC, QUALIFIER, FRENETIC, CALQUE, GLACIER, FRUITIER…
i found this 3 word solution: ACQUIT / TURF / FLANGE
and CALF / FREQUENT / TIGER
A regular meal for the striped cat!
I had aqualung but couldn’t find the match. A bomb today
Ditto! Frustrated because I remembered AQUALUNG from a few months back when I railed against it at the time. So much for teaching an old dog new tricks!
Got FAQIR – REALIGN/REGALIAN – NAUTIC fairly quickly but needed to sneak a peak at the first 3 letters of OA before seeing that solution.
Qualifier and aquifer didn’t work. Gave up
Me too. But submitted Qualifier Regnant Tic. Wanted Qualificant to work.

TEQUILA—AGRICULTURER—REFLUENT
REFLUENT—TEQUILA—AGRICULTURER
AGRICULTURER—REFLUENT—TEQUILA
Mine was
TEQUILA AGRICULTURE ENFANT
ENFANT TEQUILA AGRICULTURE
I like it. 🥃
It was a bust for me today.
Flanger – Reacquire with T left over was the best I could do.
Stuck on quantifier and agriculture. Finally gave up.
Also got stuck on quantifier. Finally made my way to the OA.
Stumped on two,
but lots of fun 3-word solutions.
One for the art restorer:
LITURGICAL – LACQUER – REFERENT
Also had to settle for 3w’s: FACTUAL LACQUER REIGN, FREQUENT TIG GLACIER, FREQUENTER REGALIA ACT. Had hopes for Quantifier, Qualifier, (Quantifier Regal just lacked the C).
I had Aqualung but did not see cafeteria… bombed today.
OA after a long struggle trying to get QUALIFIER and QUANTIFIER to work. And I screamed a few unkind words when REQUALIFIER was not accepted as a real word. Seems to me if one qualifies for a race after initially being disqualified, then the person who REQUALIFIED is a REQUALIFIER. Oh well.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought this was a bust today.
QUERENCIA / ALGEFACIENT Too many letters… Jeeez…
Ew! I hated that Aqualung song. Is that a PSW? Best I could do:
FANGIRL-LACQUER-RUT
Tried
Aquifer
Aquaculture
Agriculture
Liturgical
Frequent
Nothing came together.
Here is the full list including Scrabble words:
** 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 – 17 cafeteria / aqualung
2 – 21 quantifier / regiculture
3 – 20 querencia / algefacient
4 – 19 fanega* / aquiculture*
5 – 18 fanga* / aquiculture*
OA today but took an age to put the two together!
