Falling star
Mr.RAMANATHAN,
FALLING STAR, indeed.

Brilliant!!! 👍🤗😊😎

I feel like a night sky is inside my mind. I just close my eyes to see it. Instead of stars I see flashes of colors in the background of darkness. Like the Aurora.
Wonderful
Thank you! ☢️🌹

One of these may be the OA
macho / overthink
cameo / overthink
camo / overthink
macro / overthink
Mr.DAREDAVEL,
Yes, you got the OA!
It’s CAMEO – OVERTHINK. Good job!
👍😊🤗

OA after not very long, fortunately. For some reason, I just felt that HEXA-something was going to be in there.
Am I the first in with a solution today? That never happens when I’m in this time zone.
I got the OA too in similar fashion after toiling with…
ironical, chronicle(d), exhaled,
cockroach.
I no was sure chronicled had a match and had a solution less the (K)
chronicle – exhaled. I bet Mark paired one or both. 😂
Really looking forward to an LB solution that doesn’t involve obscure words… Having a terrible run lately… 😖
Anyway, nickels are round, aren’t they? 🤨
I believe that nickels are rounds… though isn’t the edge comprised of serrations rough to the touch?
Nickels (and pennies) have smooth edges.
The ridges were an adaptation to gold and silver coins to prevent the subtle shaving off of small pieces of the precious metals. The ridges proved the coin was either whole or not.
Interesting!

Good one!
Although there is a YouTube on how to make a dollar bill hexahedron, if you want to try it. 😏
same
OA after half a cup of coffee. Puzzles are a bit constrained lately it seems. Looking forward to Mark’s return – he always teaches me new words 🙂
It is a truly terrifying thought of what your capabilities could amount to after a whole cup of coffee.
Hello good people of the Letterboxed community, we have returned. However, we have been in a little bit of a dry spell where we haven’t been able to solve our glorious letterboxed puzzle. It is truly disheartening. BUT we have had a sincere revelation today, March 20th, 2024 year of our Lord. We have discovered that we are able to completely fill up the letterboxed board by typing opposite letters until the lines enlarged to engulf our glorious letterboxed. Truly an astonishing act of nature (really makes you think). We shall attempt to finally complete this never-ending quest of our.

EXHALED-DRAINCOCK (16/2)
Apparently guessing possible compound words from the remaining letters is a successful strategy 🙂
And a draincock is similar to (if not the same as) the tap at the bottom of a water jug or those large orange Gatorade jugs they have on sidelines of football games.
Ah yes, football… a favorite American past-time!
Me too!!
EXHALED DRAINCOCK
Same. I worked forever trying to pair CHRONICLED which left me with only three unused letters, but I couldn’t get anything to work.
Same… haven’t solved one in a while so I was happy to get this one!
exhaled – draincock
Same strategy as well.
Was looking for something to pair with EXHALED (or ENCHILADA)…DRAINCOCK is a new word for me (GTK!)
Excellent!
I think this should have been NYT’s OA instead of their hexahedron thingie (or is it thingy?)
Oa. I got stuck on rocklike, childlike, and exhaled. Smooth sailing once I abandoned those for hexa.
Also I haven’t gotten connections today. Ugh
I did finally get the connections by exhausting all my tries (I almost never use my tries)! The green and blue were straightforward. The purple & yellow 😬 not so much! Yellow is supposed to be easy but this was 😖
Me too!
And the purple are often beyond my ken.
EXHALED DORNICK would be an efficient solution, but DORNICK (a type of fabric) was not accepted.
Good one, even if it wasn’t accepted. I did finally solve connections and I admit that it was pretty good after all. Not movies or rap artists I have never heard of. I always lose in trivial pursuit due to the pink entertainment category.
Yep.
But even though all those bands were started “back in my day” (and almost before my day) that category didn’t occur to me at all – I was thinking names of weird drinks.
I think my clue should have been when I tried to look up a definition for “KISSCAM”. Online it seems, at least in my websearch, to always be “KISS CAM” – two words – not one. So maybe that’s a clue that NYT is manufacturing a made up word for the puzzle … maybe 😎
Got the OA but it took a while
CHIONODOXA – AIRLIKE
took me forever omg
Hardrock Klaxon Nickel — was surprised Claxon not accepted.
Me too with HARDROCK – KLAXON – NIE
Could have used Nickel or Niche but for some reason I put in Nie with no expectation it would be accepted. Searched Google and can’t find it. But I’ll take it. LB owes me.
I first used Nine but liked the alliterative sound of Nickel. 😉
Similar to THIS, I settled for HARDROCK-KINDLED- EXHALE. Couldn’t match CODEX.
OA, and I’m pleasantly surprised to see there are alternatives!
TK’s mention of Trivial Pursuit makes me think of my favorite question ever, simply because of its placement in the Literature category: “Who’s the world’s richest duck?” Literature? LITERATURE?!
Eventually got the OA, but not after being hung up on Exhaled, Indexed, Adnexal, Childlike and Chronicled among others.
Couldn’t get there today. Best effort was
CORNICHE-EXHALED-DOCK
Similar. I settled for CHRONICLE – EXHALED – DARK
Darn it, found oxalic and chickened but didn’t put them together 😣
ROCK / KINDLE / EXHALE
Here is the full list including Scrabble words:
