Happy Friday! ☕
I got it, but given that everything is dependent on ‘WEIGHT’ or ‘OVER’, meh, really from here. There should be a variety of root words, prefixes, suffixes, etc. that are usable.
@Irim, I see your point. Although far from singular, there is a reliance on WEIGHT and OVER.

NOLO-OVERWEIGHTED here. Spent ages with OVERWEIGHT – the IND and WO sides were absolute bears, not allowing solutions I could have gotten in 3 minutes – TENDRIL, TWINED (OVERLIGHT), etc.
Anyway, hurrah for ‘nolo contendere’ making its way into English and offering a solution. Kanishk and RF, looking forward to seeing you here soon!
Good luck, everyone, and happy Friday!
I got the same solution as yours Miss Irim with NOLO – OVERWEIGHTED. Good job to us. 👍
I hope Kanishk-boy will be back today after a little hiatus.
Ugh. Had overweighted but didn’t think to try NOLO. Ended up with the OA after not too long. 3 days in row! Used to not be that exciting but with the way this month has been it is!
Long live the streak!
Amen to that, Bill. And Matt, I was desperate and hoped it was like YOLO and I might get away with it!
Same here… Not great, but like a lot of people I’ve gotten to where I’m not going to spend a whole lot of time looking for a better solution or an OA I might take forever to stumble across.
Yeah, absolutely with you there. I used to look for efficiency, now I’m like, when I’ve got it, I’ve got it!

Nolo & Overweighted
I believe I learned the word Nolo from watching American TV crime shows.
Hi Catherine. Prob many of us did. I think those shows also used words like arbitrary and capricious, which I think describes LBs selection of acceptable Latin words
GLOVER – REWHITENED
Overweighted dentil And they wondered why their crown molding was sagging.
