Took me only 4 minutes today.
20/23.
49/54.
Current streak : 13
OA as well, after fiddling around with TABLETOP, OPAQUE, MANTLE, ANTELOPE and POTABLE. Noticed the -ABLE and found QUOTABLE. And I knew QUOTABLE would be part of the OA, because it was the only Q word I could find which eliminated sufficient letters.
For some reason EPONYM eluded me no matter how long I tried pairing it, I was cursing EN on the same side as EMPLOYMENT wasn’t possible. Kept coming back to it and finally, saw -NYM and got the OA. Fiendish one today.
21/23, 48/54

Well done, everyone! Sliding in just behind with OA after initially trying UNTAMEABLE and going ‘if that Q had been an X, I’d have had EPOXY and a perfect, efficient 2!’
Even so, OA in under 5 minutes. QUOTABLE-EPONYM
Very quick OA today as well. Fastest one in awhile. 52/54, 23/23, 26
QUOTABLE – EPONYM
Yes, very quick one!
Mark – I’ve just checked with Alice Yang’s Letter Boxed Solver, and it seems singular!
Thanks for checking, Irim. I didn’t see your comment until this morning, Denver time. My program found some weird ones, not even in OED or MW. 👍
Quotable — Eponym(y) after a few minutes with Loquat
Same. First time I ever took a chance with a word I’d never hear before, but it seemed as though it ought to be a word, so I gave it a try.
Oa
Quick OA
Quotable eponym. First q word tried.
OA.
Btw: Empony is a Malagasy word for “melting” but not very Quotable. 🙂
It has been a long time since doing these. With a fresh perspective, I got OA quickly.
Quotable Eponym
OA in a few minutes.
OA in more than a few

Got quotable in about 30 seconds early this morning. Could not find a second word so I put it away until after lunch. In about two minutes I found eponym. I do not know why or how I missed it during my first try. C’est la vie!
