PACKET – TRIFOLD
12/14, 39/45
Now that’s efficiency…
signed, sealed, & delivered.
PACKET-TRIFOLD for me as well. Took awhile considering how easy it was to find words in this array. 43/45, 14/14, Current (and Max) Streak at 17.
You have an AMAZING streak, Matt! Keep going!
How beautifully efficient, Kanishk, well done! APERITIF-FLOCKED – so OA here on a lazy Saturday, but after a lot of hanging around with wanting to make PERCOLATE(D) work and missing DEPRECIATE once I had FLOCKED.
Onwards to the Spelling Bee, Mini, Pips, and Sudoku
FLOATER – REPICKED.
Somehow I also don’t like the RE- prefix just like plurals.
11/14.
40/45.
Same…
Bobbin’ for apples.
And agree about the unsatisfactory/inefficient
Dreaded E Redundancy.
(Also the ER is not a fun place.)
I do like palindromes though.
But having to RE do the ER is even worse.
But if it’s do re than you can follow with mi fa sol etc. and solfège, well, these are a few of my favorite things.
😊
Same
Same!
Floater – Repicked
Floater – Repricked
Also… couldn’t validate these, but they seem like viable words:
Flair – Repocketed*?
Tapir – Reflocked*?
Earflap Pickpocketed
FLOATER REPICKED
FLOCKED DEPRECIATE
KERFLOP* PREDICATE
*MW
And H L Mencken “The American Language.”
Placket trifold
*FIREPLACED-DOCKET
*FIREPLACED good in Merriam-Webster
*PATRIFOCAL-LOCKED
*PATRIFOCAL good in Merriam-Webster
*FETLOCKED-DIAPER
*FETLOCKED good in OED
*FIREFLOAT-TOPDECKED*
*FIREFLOAT good in Collins, Scrabble UK (SOWPODS)
*TOPDECKED good in Wiktionary
Was kind of surprised LB wouldn’t take FETLOCKED DIAPER. Settled for FLOATER REPICKED.
First got FRACKED – DIPLOETIC*, but not accepted… then APERITIF – FLOCKED
Flocked depreciate(d)
Placekicker refloated
Copacetic fireplace fireplace fratricide participate freaked triploid diploid partaken caretaker reflated deflated pirated piratical decapitated capacitated certificated palacio predicated placard deficit defecated pericardial pickpocketed ticker tape dedicated rededicated pericardia trifold cockpit patriotic apricot peripatetlcprecipitate precipice all tried first.

Nice to see some variety today and one where I knew the words.
Good heavens! Am I the only one with the OA today, late to the party though I be!
FLOCKED DEPRECIATE
