The answers are:
HAIKUUNSOLVABLE
OA. And in pretty short order—almost immediately.
Same. Saw the Un prefix and able suffix, and it just came together in seconds.
HAIKU / UNSOLVABLE and was pretty sure it’d be the OA.
LETTER BOXED SOLVABLE
Indeed! I was so chuffed with the OA, after ditching UNAVAILABLE. I have failed to solve for the last couple of days and thought I’d lost my touch. Turns out LB is still solvable! And looking forward to the haiku from our resident poet! 😉
HAIKU – UNSOLVABLE
define inertia.
how does a good day go bad
when nothing happens?
Bingo!
Likewise!
Love it!
Gunning for Jill’s spot, are we? (JK – that’s good work, MVUA!)
OA here, and quickly, but then I refused to take Yes for an answer for quite a while. Is this another one-off?
Nope! 👇🏻
I believe so, for the LB-only solutions at least.
There are other PSW solutions today:
NONOBVIOUS*—SHALELIKE*
for one.
Strike that. I missed the INUKSHUKS one.
OA. Surprisingly quickly
Same with a smile.
unsolvable without haiku …
BOHUNKS – SILVAE*. Rather surprised that the former is both accepted here and playable in Scrabble.

Oa.
This one made me smile too! I tried oblivious, unenviable, and sinkhole but it still came together in short order.
Same. I also tried heinous.
Amazing how a fun easy LB sets the tone for the whole day! Smiling and off to other things after yesterday’s failure to find gauche. Guess I was the demonstration of the word itself 🙂
OA
VASOLINE, not good
STP might disagree
UNSOLVABLE works
Oa fast so worked on alternates without success. My favorite also ran. BLEU UVULAS SINKHOLE fir all the cheese fans out there
inukshuks / solvable
Nice solve!
Inukshuk! New word learned!
Almost instant OA!
BLUE / ENVIOUS / SHANK
ABALONE / ELVISH / HUNK
After struggling the past two days, I was pleased to get the OA, although it took me a little longer than usual.
OA, but took me a little while
HUNKS SHIVA ANKLEBONE
Who knew about ANKLEBONE?
I know it’s connected to the foot bone and the leg bone, like the nursery rhyme says. 🙂
