Tight array today. I have many potential solutions but almost all are unaccepted.
PATRIARCHSHIP—PHLOXIN
Crotals Sphinx
TOXINS SCHOLARSHIP
PATRIARCHALIST-TOXIN
So frustrating, had CHINSTRAP, didn’t see PHLOX.
Looks like we commented at the same time (and got the same solution)! What a coincidence ;D
Great minds – high five! Hope all is well. Yeah, I knew it was something around ‘TOXINS’ (AX on the same side was devilish) or ‘OXTAILS’, kicking myself for not seeing scholarship, but when I had CHINSTRAP, I stared for ages, knowing it or CHINSTRAPS had to work. I was more a zoologist than botanist in my degree, so that’s my only excuse!
Happy Monday, hope all is well!
Darn it, should have read my whole note through before posting. Or be consistent in where I put ‘all is well’. 😀
PATRIARCHALIST – TOXIN. Not happy with my inefficient solution. Tried to pair SPHINX for what seemed like hours to no avail. PHLOX is a new word for me. 23/26
