Yep …
and it took me way too long to find it … a stealthy 5+9=14/2 solution.
Especially when the first word is short i have a hard time …
Yes indeed. Started with QUOTAS which quickly led to STRONGBOX and back to OA
OA rather quickly
QUAYS / STRONGBOX ditto!
Another OA. also doubt we will see yesterday’s variety
OA… Booty.
OA and n 15 minutes.
OA quickly.
OA, which I’m assuming will also stand for Only Answer today. But took quite awhile to stumble on Strongbox. Had tried to incorporate BOX into a bunch of other words unsuccessfully. Happy to be done with it.

Hey, MVUAhhh…

I found a 17/2 solve with an S connector.
Hey, Sir BILL DUFFIN,
Yeah, it is a 17/2 with an S connector. 👍
Is it: abstracts / simplify
That’s what I got, but there may be other solves. I also saw FAMILY, SIMPLY, SIMPLICITY, LIBRARY. etc.
It’s a big help to know its a 17/2 with an S connector

QUAYS — STRONGBOX
Found STRONGBOX and then guessed using the remaining letters and QUAY was accepted (had never heard of it before).
I really wanted to use ORANGUTANS but the leftovers (bqxy) were really impossible to do much with.
A sleepy OA at 2:00am. Hard to get much traction with this one. Like Bill Duffin it was easy to solve after finally putting STRONG and BOX together. But I have known the word QUAYS since I was young: I consistently mispronounced it as “kways” while reading out loud a humorous short story called “How to Yot”, which my family first assumed was a joke in the story until they finally corrected me.
Huh.
You know, i would have always pronounced quay as “kway” if i ever had to, but us country boys just keep it simple and say “dock”.
In Florida we have “keys”; while the Bahamas have “cays” – lots of them!

Ever since diving with Chubby Winner in the 70s i knew “cay” was pronounced “key”.
But i didn’t know about “quay” until today.
Ms. Osmond the Grammarist straightened me out with the “key” differences of these three:

I do have a request:
Everyone please go to the OED and listen to their British English pronunciation versus US English pronunciation – i really think they’ve got them reversed!

The shortest time I spent for today’s puzzle. I remember that STRONGBOX had appeared before, so I solved it very quickly.
OA, Quays Strongbox. Possibly a factor in yesterday’s Chandler Retribute, and probably a one-off, after several days of very busy arrays. Indeed, Strongbox is a fairly recent repeat, making it easier to spot.
QUANGOS-STORYBOX… was not accepted. Don’t know what a strongbox is – just a strong box? 🤔 (To be fair, I’m not sure what a STORYBOX is, either.) Sad to have to let go of SYNTAX. Also tried SUB-, TRANS-, GASTRO- words. Never mind.
It’s a portable lock box, usually metal, often used for important documents.
Another quick OA. The only thing I can find that would prevent it from being a unique solution is that the OED lists QUYAT as an archaic variant spelling of QUIET and indicates that it can be a noun (but provides no historical example of that). So that would license QUYATS if you play with a very loose interpretation of the OED word list (but not Scrabble).
Apparently QUYA is the Quechua word for queen. If we’re going to allow mixing languages, all kinds of possibilities open up!
OA… here too. August 8, 2023…CHOMPS-STRONGBOX. Made this one pretty quick.
Best I could do was ARGONAUTS-SQUAB-BOXY
Failed today. Found this one quite frustrating. Never thought of STRONGBOX even though I’ve used it in Letterboxed before. I actually Googled a list of dinosaur names but Letterboxed didn’t accept any of them.
I prefer the less limiting letter arrays.
My 3: GRANTS SQUAB BOXY.
Only other words I found were: TAXON, AXON/S, OUTBOX, QUAG/S, SAXONY, STATUSQUO (I was surprised this was one word) and ONYX.
I thought about STATUS QUO but I didn’t even try it as I always thought of it as two words as well. I have vivid memories of attending several Status Quo concerts back in the early 70s. That term will always have that meaning for me! 🙂
OA.
I’m surprised TOYBOX is not accepted.
quays – strongbox
I found this 3 worder
GRANTS / SQUAB / BOXY
After some difficulty
QUAYS-STRONGBOX
There was 1 solution today:
1 – 14 quays / strongbox
No Scrabble words
