Oh, gosh, AUTHENTICLY didn’t even cross my radar!! Should have had coffee first.
Gah, didn’t see PLANITY.
It also took PLANEITY.
PUKA-AUTHENTICLY
CHECKUP-PLANITY for me.
ANALYTIC-CHECKUP after about 20 minutes. Was gutted not to be able to use PLIANTLY, PETULANCE (PETULANT/LY), CALIPHATE, KEYPUNCH, LATCHKEY, PHYLETIC, ANTECHAPEL (you get the picture). ANENCEPHALY and PLAINCHANT and a few others yielded no joy. Finally landed on CHECKUP, tried for words beginning with P, then thought, nah, let’s do ending with C, and got there.
Kanishk and RF, hope to see you soon with your solutions
Good luck, everyone, and happy Friday!
Well done, Irim! Slightly more efficient CHECKUP – PLANITY in ten minutes here, after having a go at some potential options like HYACINTH, NAPHTHALENE, PLANCHE and UPTICK. Glad to have a relatively easy one after all the recent grids we’ve had.
Waiting for you, RF, with your solution, to complete the triumvirate.
Kicking myself for missing planity – well done, hon! Have a great weekend and get some rest!
Failed today. Can’t believe I missed CHECKUP.
Well done besties Miss Irim and Kanishk-boy. 👍
Oh, hon, I’m so sorry! All the best for tomorrow – and I can’t believe I missed AUTHENTICLY, which gave loads of solutions. Still kicking myself.
Have a good weekend, both!
Don’t kick yourself too much Irim for failing to do it in less than 20 minutes. There are some of us who have been known to spend as long as half an hour on these puzzles! And don’t worry about authenticly. It’s not a “proper” spelling!
I was so happy to find anaphylactic that I didn’t look for more efficient solutions.

ANAPHYLACTIC CUKE … I looked this up and apparently cucumbers do cause anaphylaxis for some people. Killer cukes, if you will. I learn weird things all the time on this site.
