What’s PSW?
Playable Scrabble Word.
Good one with HARAUCANA!
👍
Another victory for LB. I had NATWHAL but missed LASCIVIOUS. That makes 4 defeats in a row. I must be losing my touch!
I did find a few disconnected 2-word solutions but of course they don’t count.
NARWHAL / LASCIVIOUS too.
OA in about 1 minute.
OA… guess he was a little horny.
(Sorry, I didn’t mean to ghost the group. All is well and I hope to be back, but have had an abrupt schedule change and haven’t been able to adjust to fit into the new box.
…plus my jokes were getting long in the tooth.)
We missed u Miss MVUA. 😊🤗
😃 Welcome back, Mvua! Now my laughter muscles can get a workout again 👍
It’s good to have you back!
😊 Glad you haven’t left us at sea, Mvua.
Welcome back on board!
OA after wasting a lot of time with CLOWNISH and CARNIVOROUS.
OA after detouring with Clavicular and Navicular. Quick finish once I saw NARWHAL.
NARWHAL-LASCIVIOUS
CLOWNISH-HAVIOUR*
*HAVIOUR good in OED, Collins, Wiktionary, Scrabble US (TWL)
OA … In 5 minutes
CLOWNISH-HURVAS*
*HURVAS good in Wiktionary
Breaking my 3-day failing streak with an OA today. Woohoo! 😉
OA after a weeklong losing streak! Nice way to end my week of sailing in the Swedish archipelago ⛵️😎
If that’s an idiom for frustration, then I too have spent a lot of this week sailing in the Swedish archipelago 😊
Me too, it’s about time to get off the boat. Maybe tomorrow.
OA in under 10 minutes. Speedy for me.
OA….does it still count if I had to look up how to spell “lascivious”….?
OA after desperately wanting to make CARNIVOROUS and SHAWL or SHALWAR or SAHIWAL work.
Was dubious about NARWHAL, tried it because it was cool, but then saw LASCIVIOUS straightaway.
OA in a couple mins.
Don’t know where I pulled that answer from … Oh, wait… Yes I do 😂
OA
NARWHAL — LASCIVIOUS
Saw NARWHAL but it took me forever to get LASCIVIOUS (I don’t really use that word and forgot about the C!)
Spent lots of time with INCLUSIONS, VASCULAR, and CARNIVOROUS but no luck.
CLOWNISH – HILARIOUS
Whoops – forgot the V
My nose was overwhelmed by rhinovirus and couldn’t smell anything without the a and w beside each other.
Lots of false starts today including CLOWNISH, AVARICIOUS, CARNIVOROUS, CARNIVAL, OWLISH, VORACIOUS, SALACIOUS, LUSCIOUS – which finally led to LASCIVIOUS – NARWHAL for the win 🙂 Back to Wimbledon watching 🙂
Kept going back to CLOWNISH, finally looked at a word-finder list to get HAVIOUR, then was surprised it was accepted by every source on the Scrabble check site I go to, so I’ll count it as a solve.
Finally spelled NARWHAL correctly and got the OA without resorting to VORACIOUS reading of VACUOUS websites.
Couldn’t find a 2 word solve. Really wanted CLOWNISH to work. Finally tried for the fewest letters in 3 words and came up with
CLOWNS-SAVIOUR-RAH
OA finally saw narwhal to go with lascivious , the second word I tried after carnivorous. Was starting to think today would be a no go
Tried between lascivious and narwhal:avascular vacuous voracious carnival cushions valorous caloric clavicular vicious curious incurious calculus sonorous clinical avaricious carnosaur
Carnivorous various savior norovirus circular clownish vicarious sonic survivor survival vanish varnish voila insular salacious ironic salvo vivacious
Ironic vivacious salvo solar cavil civil sworn owlish and culinarious(OED) and salivarious(OED got drowsy. For a minute then waked with narwhal haha
Also glad to see MVUA back
OA.
Found NARWHAL pretty quickly but took awhile to formulate the remaining letters into LASCIVIOUS.
What a smutty cetacean
I am wondering if anyone here likes math or is very good at math…..anyone want to share? I am a math person.
VOLCANIC – CUSHIONS – SWORN
CUSHIONS – SURVIVAL – LOW
OA
Voracious-shul-lown
Over and out!
OA, and it required repeated givings up and comings back.
Could only come up with…
avaricious snows shul
