XBMINAOYLTEC
The answers are:
BYEEXCLAMATION
OFFICIAL
Excitability -Yeomen
BOIL LEXICON NOT TAME EYE
official
Official mercifully quick
EXCITABLE EMONEY, no comment
Same. I did not think EMONEY was a word but went for it on a whim.
Yet another word permitted here but not in Scrabble.
I was surprised to have that one accepted, it’s good for a laugh.
I stared long and hard at emoney, before thinking What’s to lose ?
But I had the official as a backup.
Official, right off the bat.
Monotone Excitability
Cause I’m having too much fun!
Byyye!
Nome is accepted (Sota will probably know it, given its Greek origin), so Nome Excitability, which is better by length. But Monotone Excitability has nice contradictoriness.
Not really. I was, of course, familiar with it as an all-round suffix, but not as a stand-alone term in English; every day is a school day, I suppose, even if it comes at the cost of having stuff we knew to be valid, cancelled (still fuming over EXONYM).
exclamation nobility
Me too. Bummed I couldn’t use BLIMEY.
I eventually found the landing strip for the official solution, after toying with various -MENTAL & -TABLE options, as well as LEXICON, TOXIC, MONEY, CYTON, MIXABLE, COMIX, ALIMONY, XENOBIOTIC, ABAXILE, etc. LAYTIME was rejected and so was EXONYM which, along with CITABLE would have formed an excellent 13/2.
EXONYM is permitted in Scrabble, so to you goes the moral victory!
Cheers, DW; my rage is tempered!
Official, pretty quickly. Also Nome Excitability. Had to look up Nome. Obscure to the max!
Looking forward to folks’ alternatives – some fine ones have already been reported.
Othe finds: Claymation, Balcony, Moxie, Moneybox, Moneymen, Yenta, Nomen, Axiomatic, Alimony, Conmen, Excitation, Exotic, Toxicity, Taxable, Noble, Nobility, Clement, Clemency, Elemental, Mentality, Amoeba, Comix, Comic, Comical, Bento, Mention, Emotion, Boxy.
I worked too hard trying to get TAXATION or CLEMENCY to work. Got the official after a few minutes.
Official. For a longer riff, BICYCLE – EXCLAMATION. I really wanted to do something with CLAYMATION, OXYTOCIC, or CYCLAMEN, just because they are cool words.
Yes, I saw BICYCLE at once, and figured it must be part of the solution, so was quickly able to pair it with EXCLAMATION. Of course, BYE is more efficient, but I had fun bouncing off of those lettered walls anyway.
A very quick one today, thankfully.
TABLEMENT—TOXICITY
“Faulty foundation?”
🏗️⚠
And by extension:
(EN)TABLEMENT—TOXICITY
This was mine today as well, and was happy to be put out of my misery after spending too much time trying to get TAXONOMY, TAXONOMICAL, and LAMENTABLE to work. Missed some much more obvious words, but I’ll take the victory. ✌️
Nice going. I too looked at LAMENT* routes but hit dead ends.
I hopped on BICYCLE-EXCLAMATION 🚴♀️❣️and happily hit enter, so I never even saw the more efficient official solution.
EXLCAMATION-NOBILITY here as well. Funny how you jump to things without seeing the obvious. I started with MOBILITY, then NOBILITY, so didn’t even see BYE after I then found EXCLAMATION. Nevertheless, I’ll take the win for the day 🙂
Same here, EXCLAMATION / NOBILITY
I like it better than the official
tablement – toxicity
Excitable emoney was accepted and maybe a good reason to stay away from bit coin?!
Excitably – yeomen
I looked at that, but, alas, L and Y are on the same side of the box
Xenobiotic Cyclamen
That’s a wild one, Gill! Very impressive.
Wow ! Quite the answers I had bye and exclamation
Official.
Did anyone get a non-x word first when trying to solve it?
Or is it natural to find that one first? Same like q
MONOCLE – EXCITABILITY
Lamentable that there is no LAMENTABILITY to go with my COXAL try again another day
Couldn’t find a match for toxicity, axiomatic . . . quit after NONTOXIC – CLAM – MAYBE
👋!
BICYCLE – EXCLAMATION for me.
