Me too Lola! I am an exclusive pervert! (Like a lot of lawyers).
😂
Same
SUBVERTIBLE – EXCEPT
That’s what I got!
VESTIBULE-EXCERPT: OA in 5 minutes after trying EXCLUSIVE, PRECLUSIVE, then realised VESTIBULE would take out the pesky V and B, and there was EXCERPT right there.
Looking forward to seeing my besties, Kanishk and RF, soon.
Good luck, everyone, and happy Thursday!
PERCEPTIBLE – EXCLUSIVE. In 13 minutes.
Good job Miss Irim. Looking forward to Kanishk-boy’s solution. Good LB day today with many options.
RF, we posted at the exact same time! Well done. And nice solution.
I’m glad to see another puzzle with plenty of options for a change.
🤗
Good job, Irim! I got my solution in five minutes as well – spotted VESTIBULE right away, but for some reason didn’t see EXCERPT – PRESELECTIVE – EXURB here, because I was determined to eliminate the B and X in one go.
Come on, RF, we’re rooting for you! Can’t wait to see your solution.
Congratulations to the triumphing triumvirate! Well done, both, and excellent solutions. I forgot EXURB was a word, so thank you for reminding me. Funny how I was happy to leave the X on its own, but wanted the V and B out of the way.
I love it when we have so many options.
Hope your day is a wonderful one and see you tomorrow – are you both keeping well?
There is pain in my days lately, Miss Irim. How’s life in the UK Miss Irim, and in India Kanishk-boy?
Oh, hon. How can we be here for you, my lovely?
Miss Irim I have chronic canker sores since 2019.
It takes away the joy of eating.
Deeply sorry to hear this. Mouth sores have plagued me for most of my 69 years. Stay warm, don’t eat anything that damages the mucous membranes of your mouth, get lots of sleep. Hot, salt water might help.
Very sorry. : (
subvertible except… whatever we tell you isn’t. And if that doesn’t make sense, well, there you go.
Receptible Exclusive
EXCLUSIVITIES SUPERB
Same after tinkering with subversive
Exclusivists Superb
EXCLUSIVITIES-SUPERB here as well. Took about half an hour I think. Thought I might finish Perplexive or Suplexes, or Subversive or Crucibles but to no avail. But the streak continues! 129/141, 20/21, 19, 36
Forgot to mention, SUBLUX is a word – meaning to dislocate – that should’ve been accepted. Also works with Exclusivities. Added a minute or two to the ordeal.
Same
Same here…
Exclusivities – Superb
