Didn’t see TABANCA – or rather, didn’t realise it was a word! I was hanging onto ANXIOUSLY for dear life!
I learned it today too.
WIKT: (Caribbean) melancholy, or a painful feeling of unrequited love.
OED: A state or feeling of depression or melancholy…

Ha! Finally, I’m the first of the triumvirate to post on this site – OA in five minutes after toying around with ANXIOUSLY and NOXIOUSLY.
Irim and RF, can’t wait to see you both soon!
I failed today. Saw ANXIOUSLY but not OBNOXIOUSLY. Huhuhu…
Amazing job Kanishk-boy. 👍
Checking on Miss Irim later. 😊
OA here. Been a rough month. Only my second solve of July.
Good to see you Matt, I’d begun to think you were taking a vacation
YAYYYY! Hi, lovely, I was hanging onto ANXIOUSLY, NOXIOUSLY, and SUSTAINABILITY for dear life. Worked on it for about 30 minutes, had a breakfast meeting for work, came back to it for another 20 minutes trying the same words, somehow, didn’t see OBNOXIOUSLY, though I was ON NOXIOUSLY for yonks.
Was too obsessed by scientific words: I wanted TOXIC, CYTOKININS, SUBCOSTAL, ANXIOLYTICS, none of which were possible. And I was so obsessed by that, I missed the normal words…but to have OBNOXIOUSLY right there as I was using NOXIOUSLY, I could hit myself with a chappal.
Well done, Kanishk bhai, and I’m so sorry, RF. Everyone else, good luck, well done, and happy Hump Day!
SUBCOSTA – ANXIOUSLY
CAYS SUBLUXATION
Same and pretty quickly.
Oa
CAYS SUBLUXATION
For some reason, obnoxious came easy for me today… added the ly and was left with taco…🤷🏼♀️
Ditto.
Taco Obnoxiously
Incubation noxiously
Same
Hi Bill. I have noticed that you and I often post our LB responses at about the same times. So I am guessing that you are a fellow North American.
Hi Catherine, yes, from the same time zone as Manitoba but to the south a little. I’m from the land of Faulkner, Welty, Wright,Williams,Grisham, and even a few more from my small hometown of two thousand
Hi Bill. You are probably from Mississippi. I am from southern Ontario (right on the north shore of Lake Erie). The part of the US border that runs through Lake Erie is just 30 miles south of our beach.
Yep, Magnolia-Hospitality state. At least I got Canada correct; someone on this site mentioned northern Manitoba once.You are actually farther south than parts of U.S. so maybe to the south of otherU S posters? I love that people from all over the world post here , I have mental pictures of where I know/ think they are from. It’s fun to guess too.
Hi Bill. My husband and I are from southern Ontario and I’m from southwestern Ontario while he is from Toronto.
We did spend our working careers in northern Manitoba (39 years) but once we retired, we moved back to southern Ontario where we have a great view of Lake Erie.

Tried SUBNOXIOUS and ABNOXIOUS too but could not match them. Abnoxious is an obsolete spelling of obnoxious although still being used today in various countries. (OED)
Incubation & Noxiously
Another CAYS-SUBLUXATION after spending a while with BIOTOXINS and SUBTLY.
Pleased to make your acquaintance Catherine(said with a smile and a drawl)
Taco Obnoxiously
OA Made me smile thinking of someone I worked with who used to talk about being “obnoxed” when annoyed by something. 🙂
