The answers are:
VARIABLEEXHAUST
Blare Exhaustive
Same. Took a bit.
Yep. Me too. Though first I tried (and LE accepted) Brule – Exhaustive. But I thought Blare had a better chance of being the OA. Wrong ag’in.
BIVALVE – EXHAUSTER Couldn’t believe exhauster worked but it did.
Me too.
EXHAUSTIBLE-EVER here almost immediately, after a first try with LAXATIVE (which left me BRUSH with no way to connect it).
Looking forward to seeing my besties, Kanishk and RF, with their solutions, hopefully soon!
Good luck, everyone, and happy Tuesday!
Well done, Irim – I’m on the same boat as you on this one! An instant EXHAUSTIBLE – EVER after yesterday’s failure – glad to be back on track.
Hoping to see RF soon!
Visible Exhauster
BLARE – EXHAUSTIVE.
Yay!!! The triumvirate are triumphant today. 🤗
OA. Also Ravishable-Exhaust. Probably took longer than it should have, But at least done before the end of the commute. 113/125, 4/5, 3, 36
BIVALVE-EXHAUSTER
Pearl diving
You could have done BLUSHER RELAXATIVE
Great solution, but strong preference here for the more efficient EXHAUSTIBLE-EVER!
RAVE EXHAUSTIBLE
Got the OA … VARIABLE – EXHAUST … but first found …
RAVE – EXHAUSTIBLE
EXHAUSTIBLE – EVER
REVIVABLE – EXHAUST
VISITABLE – EXHAUSTER
VIABLE – EXHAUSTER
VERITABLE – EXHAUST
I was fixated on EXHAUST after first toying with EXHALE.
As a result, I never saw LAXITIVE or any other “X” words.
Why is brusher relaxative rejected
Good question!
That’s what I got
Got the same, fairly quickly!
LAXATIVE BRUSH is no longer recommended medically, Irim. 😂
BLARE—EXHAUST
VARIABLE—EXHAUST
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXHAUSTER ⇄ REVIVABLE
REVIVABLE ⇆ EXHAUSTER
typo
*BLARE—EXHAUSTIVE
RAVISHABLE—EXITUS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
therefore, *EXHAUST* is nonessential.
or VERITABLE-EXHAUST
and:
EVERSIBLE, REVERSIBLE, REVISIBLE, REVIVABLE—
EXHAUST.
☕
VERITABLE / EXHAUST here, too, and pretty quickly today.
Viable exhauster
Brule- exhaustive
Same. Well done!
REVIVABLE – EXHAUST
Like my plants after a hot day.
Arable Exhaustive. So quickly, that the game was no fun! I like half an hour’s entertainment out of it. Whereas 15 seconds – or having to submit after an hour of frustration – no good!
Yes, different experience each play…
that makes this game so ADDICTIVE‼️
BIVALVE EXHAUSTER
RAVE EXHAUSTIBLE…
Honestly, I was tired before I even got there.
REVUE–EX. . . IBLE
Blusher Relaxative
Blare – exhaustive fairly quickly today
I also saw this solution
BLARE – EXHAUSTIVE
Try this Brule – Exhaustive
EXHAUSTIBLE EVER
Exhaustible – Ever
VIABLE EXHAUSTER
Bristle & Exhaustive
Saw exhaustive right away and quickly determined that it was likely the second word but it took a little bit of time to find bristle.
I got Bristle and Exhaustive too. Thought I could start with exhaustive as well but good it started and ended with ‘e’ and that helped.
I’m sure there are more efficient answers within our fellow teammates but was happy with this one’
Hi Wendy. While the word Bristle satisfied Letter Boxed, Brûle would have been a more efficient word. I cannot believe that I missed it as I make crème brûlée quite often…that’s because it’s easy and dinner guests seem to like it.
Brule, of course! Better solve!
Veritable exhaust. Another quick one leaves more playing time.
Variable exhaust. Viable exhauster
VULTURISH HEXABLE*
* fell into a rabbit hole here because there is a very weird corner of science philosophy that uses “hexable” when discussing experiments with table salt. Yes, table salt can be hexed. Too bizarre to explain. “Philosophy of Science
Contemporary Readings” 2002
Reversible exhaust. Intake?
Brûlé exhaustive Also variable and veritable exhaustive
Too much crème brûlée?
Haha!
Relaxable exhaustive
Exhaustible-Eruv
Arable-exhaustive
generous land
nice to get done in the morning for a change
VERITABLE EXHAUST Couldn’t make relaxative work but apparently it’s a word.
OA today.
Blare Exhaustive
Ended up with brule – exhaustive as well.
Was just happy to have found a 2-w answer
without too much time in
BLARE EXHAUSTIVE
Unworkably – Yoick
