The answers are:
NOVICEEQUILIBRIA
Acquirable enliven
Oops. Nova acquirable
Got the same combination
Nice word pair, but it’s missing the O.
🙂
Nova Acquirable
Same!
Nova Acquirable also.
Spent too much time trying to wring something out of Unbelievable and not focussing on the Q.
Me too.
Same… evanescent influencer sensations. A flash in the pan of the infinite internet object permanence deficit… wait, what were we talking about?
Always looking for your hilarious posts, MVUA! As to your question, I think we’re talking about PBS selling off yet another franchise.
Meanwhile I offer Variable Eloquence (the Biden Problem); the OA Novice Equilibria (learning to ride a bike); and Violence Equilibria (mutually assured destruction).
Same
NOVA / ACQUIRABLE and fast.
Variable eloquence
NOVA -ACQUIRABLE here too
A star within your grasp!
the less efficient CONVENE-EQUILIBRIA but I am at peace
Same here
me three …
convene equilibria …
i got it so quickly (unusual for me!) that i didn’t look for anything shorter …
😎
Me four – CONVENE -EQUILIBRIA almost immediately.
Me five
Conceivable Equilibria
Same and it’s not the most efficient, but it worked and I’m happy with it…
INCONCEIVABLE! Lol.
Yup – and here as well. Taking the win for the day especially since I got a new word out of it 🙂
I got lazy with CONCAVE EQUILIBRIA
Same
Convolve- Equilibria
Nash’s mathematical method perhaps?
Barnacle Equivoque
Nice! I had ELOQUENCE but nothing to pair with it, and a few attempts with the EQUI- prefix so appreciate this find!
CARBUNCLE — EQUIVOQUE
takes a Sherlock Holmes to spot one😆
CURABLE—EQUIVOQUE for me
Missing an N, I guess.
Good ol’ Carbuncle again! Makes me think of my uncle Fred, who owned a DD.
I found a close match
barnacle – equivoque
Same here
Backed into it.
Variable – Eloquence
Nice!
same
Ditto
Same: VARIABLE ELOQUENCE
Here too. The Biden Problem.
Good one! Haha.
I had the OA too. But only after VIBRANCE was surprisingly not accepted.
Ha!
Hahaha I had the same. Great comment.
VARIABLE – ELOQUENCE.
Took me 1.5 hours to solve.
Every time I put in VARIABLE, I only saw gibberish from the leftovers.
Most of the words I saw doesn’t include the Q (and also R). Mostly -ABLE words. So, when I focused on finding a -QUE- word, end of game when I spotted ELOQUENCE. I went full circle when I spotted VARIABLE from the leftovers.
starting with with eloquence and fitting variable proved to be easier.
That’s how I solved it, after struggling with COVARIANCE and ENVIABLE. The word BIVARIANCE was not accepted, so I abandoned that.
VARIABLE – ELOQUENCE
Similar path. Unbelievable led me to Eloquence (no R) which led me to Variable.
VARIABLE–ELOQUENCE
Biconcave Equilibria if you are going for a physics theme!
Man, it took me a solid minute to realize the word was Bi-concave, not “By-con-cahvay”!
Physics would work with just concave, don’t need the biconcave lens too? 🤣
Aquirable Elevon
Took a long time to unsee unequivocable, when it proved to be… equivocal
BENEVOLENCE-EQUILIBRIA
Just the right blend of selfishness and selflessness…
Concave – Equilibria
Surprisingly fast today
ACQUIRABLE ENVOI.
ENVOI was a guess.
I got acquirable as well, then elevon.
Novice equilibria is what I pompously call my New Balance trainers
LOBE EQUIVARIANCE (matching ears)
Equivariance however was disallowed despite being a real word which I sometimes use 🙁
CONCEIVE-EQUILIBRIA (18/2)
NOVICE mistake not taking my time once I found CONCEIVE to link to EQUILIBRIA to look for a shorter VARIABLE of the letter set.
Maybe I’ll get BARBEQUE for lunch today. 😄😎
VIOLENCE EQUILIBRIA
G
Fairly quickly for a change.
NOVA—ACQUIRABLE
A capability of a next-generation Dyson sphere.
BENEVOLENCE—EQUILIBRIA
Happy and steady.
And from the OED domain:
BOUNCEABLE°—EQUICURVE°
OA for me relatively quickly. Impressed by all the alternative answers. Had a devil of a time coming up with anything to work with the Q. Had gotten as far as Acquir – but gave up after not being able to use the e. Being in medicine was helpful as Equilibria is relatively common usage.
OA as well. Haven’t solved in a while.
My newly acquired answer is NOVA ACQUIRABLE.
Violence equilibria
Convene Equilibria
I quit soon after finding my pair: variable, eloquence. There seemed to be lots of potential word options with able and ence endings.
There seemed to be lots of potential word options with able and ence endings but I quit soon after quickly finding a pair: variable, eloquence.
I also was surprised vibrance wasn’t accepted.
Also had Variable & Eloquence. Fun puzzle today.
I got BENEVOLENCE EQUILIBRIA.
OA today, and it’s about time after a long drought! Where is RF? Hope you are okay 🙂
