FOUND DATIVELY

FOUND—DATIVELY
13/2
Same for me. Always a good feeling when you beat OA!
Me too. Some weird grammar rule?
FOUNDATION-NAIVELY
Same
OA
Happily found the OA. Twice in a row!
Failing to find a solution twice in a row
(and more) will give a negative momentum for me.
But, I just can’t decline solving letterboxed. It’s just so wonderfully challenging puzzle.
😉😊🤗😉🙂
It truly is a great game. For me, learning new words, through LB, has led to new ideas, which I never would have explored otherwise.
🙂 ☕
Same here
Same!
Me too.
This was mine. Strange to have overlooked NOVELTY, I suppose.
This was mine too.
OA for me today. Once I got it I imagined it had to be the OA! Just right!
Me too with OA and joyously quick as opposed to some recent challenging days. Like the others, I couldn’t quit LB ( even after VUVUZELA 🥴) Keeps the gears of my mind oiled.
Were you here for Jaguarundi, Steph? Drove almost as many to the exits as Vuvuzela…
First hit on Found Datively, which takes the prize for efficiency, then Foundation Naively and finally Foundation Novelty (unique face paint), which wins for TI.
Great theme, Bernie! I believe JAGUARUNDI came very early in my participation when I had not yet developed any critical judgment.
Some anagrams lurking in today’s array:
LEVITATION : VELITATION
ANTIDOTE : TETANOID
FLUENT : NETFUL : UNLEFT
NOVITIATE : EVITATION*
TELNET : NETTLE*
ATTENTIVE(LY)* : TENTATIVE(LY)*

Foundation naively, thought was going to be OA, happy to quickly solve and on to connections….
are there groups like this for the other games too?
For Letter Boxed there are groups on Facebook and Reddit, which I belong to. For Connections and Wordle there are also FB groups, but I have not looked further there.
Thanks Mark!
Had NATIVE in my mind so after finding FOUNDATION and seeing what was left, I immediately went with:
FOUNDATION-NATIVELY
Had natively, but it took me a little time to get to foundation to pair with it.
OA in record time for me.
FOUNDATION-NAIVELY.
OA today though almost gave up by settling for a 3-word solution.
“Connections” leaves me cold. No idea about Rappers or Movies. The “LetterBoxed” crowd seems like the smart, cool kids that I’d love to sit with at lunch if they’d have me.
😀 In my day known as the Nerd Table and not an object of envy….
I like that my teenager can help me from time to time with Connections. She’s not quite ready to take on LB, at least at the level of the two-word solution.
It’s funny, but I remember failing to solve crosswords as a kid because I didn’t know the references to pop culture (TV, movies, music). Now, I find that I’m aging out already!
I usually try both, but often I can’t do both of them well. Tricks of the mind. Same with other puzzles, but a good feeling when it works out.
Today, I found this 3 word solution:
AUDIO / OFTEN / NAIVELY
Foundation – Natively
found – datively
FOUNDATION NAIVELY for me too.
FAUN NOVELTY YIELD came first. And by the time I found FOUNDATION I had forgotten about NOVELTY.
Spent ages unable to see anything over six letters, then realised -IVE was there, then saw -IVELY and in about ten seconds got FOUND – DATIVELY.
FOUNDATION NAIVELY
Found FOUNDATION from the get-go. Later, I tried NOVELTY. But never together, so no solve today. That’s how it works sometimes.
FOUNDATION–NAIVELY
after trying–and failing–for almost an hour and coming back to it two more times during the day, i finally got it in two! 😉
