WITHHYPERBOLIC
I came up with WITH – HYPERBOLIC pretty fast, feeling proud of myself (thought my solution would be unique) – until I discovered it was the OA. Tried pairing words like HELICOPTER and PROTOLYTIC to no avail.
I suspect a plethora of two-word solves today. Feels like a breath of fresh air!
Irim and RF, my besties, eagerly awaiting your solutions! Good luck to everyone, and have a happy weekend!
Nevermind, I take that back – I just checked Alice Liang’s Letter Boxed solver, and only six possible solutions are valid today, all of them requiring the word ‘HYPERBOLIC’.
I really miss the days when these arrays used to offer a wide range of answers.
Kanishk-boy, it’s only the two of us so far.
Got the OA relatively fast.
Waiting for Miss Irim later…
Kanishk-boy, there was once a day that I had 5 unique answers. It happened once.
OA. Took a little while but still well under an hour. Also thought I had it with Helicopter to no avail. Also Pyloric seemed to have potential.. but not so much. 81/87, 24/28, 5, 36
Hello, my besties – so glad to see you! Lazy Saturday, so just got to this: OA immediately. (I was tempted by BEWITCH, WITCHERY, even BEWITCHERY, but T and C on the same side saved me from that temptation.) Saw HYPERBOLIC straight away, loved it as a long word with no repeating letters, and voila, done in 2 minutes.
Congratulations, my lovelies, and to everyone who solved, and good luck to all still trying (given there are only 9 comments, most of which are us 😆, I suspect many are still working on it), and a wonderful weekend to all.
Also got OA. I tried HELICOPTER before I found HYPERBOLIC.

Congrats, RF, you got the OA!!! 😃🎉
Well done 🥳
STARGAZE – EXAMINED
Ditto, got it straight away! Love stargazing, so this is a favourite!
Love stargazing too. I watch the night time sky with God is a Woman in the background. Love it when the moon is in crescent shape.
I was so in love with CLERIHEW it took me a long time to get the OA.
Also HYPERBOLIC CHEWET*
*OED, MW, meat pie. Think Sweeney Todd.
With – Hyperbolic finally after a week of failure
WITH-HYPERBOLIC
Happy to find OA today 👌
THEREWITH HYPOBOLIC*
*earlier spelling of the term that became “hyperbolic” today. Used in early 20thC electrical manuals, engineering, mathematics, and aeronautics.
*Aërial Navigation: A Practical Handbook on the Construction of Dirigible Balloons. 1902
OA pretty fast once I got the hyper, then found a little was left, and I was done.
With hyperbolic With hyperbolicity(W). Hyperbolicity yew. Bound to be many answers today. At last!
✔
With hyperbolicly(OED)
OA, but only after looking at a word-check site, thinking I must be missing something with HELICOPTER.
CG
With & Hyperbolic
Found hyperbolic quite quickly and just assumed it was the first word. Then after many attempts to find a word beginning with C, I decided that hyperbolic must be the second word. As such, the word With was right there!
After failing with “helicopter,” I finally got it. Took me a bit…
OA – fasted solve ever for me
Wroth hyperbolic,looks like I was wrong about there being many solves. So many good words today
Proprioceptor polycyclic typewriter teletype helicopter pericycle copy pyrolytic heterocyclic prototype heterolytic epileptic theoretic proteolytic cytolytic ricochet potboiler epicycle brewery etc.
OA. Glad I came back at this late hour and turned Hyperbole into hyperbolic.
Attaway!
Went around the world with
wholecloth hyperbolic
thought I was being so clever!
