CAFETERIAANYHOW

OA in 5 minutes – would have been earlier, but I kept pushing away my intuition that CAFETERIA was it, thinking it had too many repeating letters. Finally used it and kicked myself. Beautifully efficient!
Hope to see my besties, Kanishk and RF soon – good luck to all attempting and congrats to all who solve. Happy Monday, everyone!
Same here, Irim, OA in 21 minutes. Found some amazing words that led me nowhere – RHINOCEROT, INFOTECH, WATERCRAFT to name a few.
Came up with ANYHOW and I knew it must be part of the solution as it effectively buried the Y. When I failed to connect the W, I worked backwards – CIT was infuriating as TRIFECTA wasn’t possible. Shortly after I found CAFETERIA (I somehow forgot the spelling – was entering CAFETARIA at first!)
Good job, Irim, and hoping to see my other bestie, RF soon. Congrats to those who have solved and good luck to those attempting. Happy Monday!

RHINOCEROT is a great word; hadn’t realised it was an alternative for rhinoceros! CIT was an absolute nightmare; EHN was also a pain in my backside, and no FR options, but still, it’s not PANJANDRUM.
Nice work, hon, and here’s to seeing RF soon. Have a great one!

FLOWER-RADIOACTIVE…bring it in, RF!
Well done, Irim… 🎉
I expect everyone who has been fairly active on this site to get this one instantly 😉
Hahaha! That’s my name! I’m amazed that it fits into a letterboxed. 👍👏
And, I know just now! 😅
I was surprised too, RF! I noticed that the first and last letters of your username were the same – and I thought, “What are the chances that your name contains exactly 12 distinct letters?”
It also helps there are no consecutive repeating letters!
