YUZUUNTHINKABLE
HAZELNUT-THINKABLY
In about 15 minutes.
HAZELNUT-THINKABLY here too
3rd cup here, ☕☕☕
Yay! A coffee meter! Better than I. Coffee long gone. One beer down before I found Hazelnut – Thinkably. But adding Zebu and Yuzu to my list!
For me it was one wine down to find hazelnut thinkably. Just about to give up too and it came to me!
I did Hazel and Linkability
Same. Quickly
Bravo! I found HAZELNUT, and I found THINKABLY, but for some reason didn’t connect them . Likewise with YUZU and UNTHINKABLE. Ended up with ZEBU and UNTHINKABLY
Had both “Zebu, Unthinkably”, and “Yuzu? Unthinkable!”Neither Indian cows nor Chinese fruit can possibly be in my garden!
zebu, unthinkably for me too!
Same, though it took me a bit less – I hesitated because I didn’t think it would go for thinkably b/c it didn’t go for relaceable last night!
HAZELNUT-THINKABLY for me too. Seems like a common one today. I was pretty happy to find UNTHINKABLE(Y) but couldn’t pair them because I didn’t know the words YUZU or ZEBU!
Also for something a bit more eloquent…
ZEBU-UNTHINKABLY
Zebus rock! 🙂
Same
Likewise.
Same. “Zebu” thanks to The Simpsons a long time ago.
Same
Eventually got zebu-unthinkably after spending ages failing to find something that worked with Yakuza.
Wow. You guys are pretty smart. I thought I was special pulling zebu somewhere out of the depths my Scrabble obsessed brain. Was really proud of myself for Zebu -Unthinkably. Thought there was a good chance I’d be the first one with that answer here. Not even close.
ZEBU / UNTHINKABLY
YUZU — UNTHINKABLE
I spent a lot of time with UNANALYZABLE.
It would not take ANALYZABILITY or UNANALIZABILITY
OA. Forbidden fruit?
YUZU- UNTHINKABLE too which brought to mind the infamous vuvuzela of solution past…
Ha! Vuvuzela. I remember that one.
OA for me today.
Aieeee! I hear its horrible screeling even now!

Thanks! Markie! ❤️
stay serious?
that’s no fun 🤪!
using Mark’s prompt, I think it’s VERY CURIOUS
Ahhhhh!
that’s more fun 😎
Hey, Mr.McBEE & Stephfie,
Wrong! Huhuhu! 🥴😵💫
Try again! 😂
Wrong? that’s a
VERY CURIOUS
response considering it fits all the letters perfectly.
I guess we will just have to:
..ay …ious
i was going to put the 2nd letter in, but decided it was more fun to go with the 3rd …
😎

Hmmm…👍👍
Big kudos! 🎉

Hey RrrF,
You should always STAY CURIOUS about the marvels of Mother Nature.
Hey LWMMM,
I’m curious about airplanes, medicines, tiny seeds into big plants, pregnancy, my very existence, why Jesus is Israeli not Filipino, why we can’t exist with ancient people, why we cannot know all the people on Earth…
There are so many to be curious about…
ZEBU – UNTHINKABLY here.
Mark, I just saw that you asked about yesterday’s birds. There were fewer than I expected: 🐦 ANI, CARACARA, COUCAL, CRANE, FALCON, NENE, RAIL, RAVEN, VANGA 🐦🐦 GALLINULE, GULL, LOGRUNNER, LOON, RUFF
Today’s birds: 🐦 AKALAT, AKIKIKI, ALETHE, ANI, BAZA, BULBUL, HUET-HUET, KAKA, KEA, KITE, NUNLET, TAKAHE, TEAL, TIT, YUHINA 🐦🐦 AKEKEE, ATTILA, BLUEBILL
I was thinking there’d be more birds yesterday too, judging by how many words I found overall.
For mammals today, besides the BAT and the ZEBU, I only found the BEA-TZU and the BEABULL. 🐶🐶
+ TAKIN and YAK.
ZEBU – UNTHINKABLY, at least as food in Hinduism.
YUZU UNTHINKABLE ?
for me as well, and I did Not expect it to be the OA.
As for TI, i came up with:
“For anyone on Lipitor”
but I don’t know that to be true at all. It does apply to grapefruit – not good for people on statins.
BTW: today’s LB rejects
ELIZABETHAN, which uses up 9 of the letters, and is listed as a noun and a adjective in the OED.
I was also disappointed ELIZABETHAN was rejected. Just the OA for me. YUZU is a repeat, though (YUZU-UNOBSERVANT, if I remember correctly).
LB, annoyingly, rejects words that are capitalised. One of the recent puzzles could have been finished elegantly if only ‘Kafkaesque’ had been allowed.
Another general question or note somewhat unrelated to LetterBox – I noticed that the panagram (DOGPILE) for yesterday’s SpellingBee, while included in most of the major online dictionaries, was not included in the Quinapulus online wordfinder which has seven dictionaries built into it. And one of those is SOWPODS which I thought was the Scrabble Wordfinder dictionary.
But, interestingly enough the
ScrabbleWordFinder.org site that Mark told us about does find “dogpile” – if you use the Scrabble UK (SOWPODS) dictionary, but not with the Scrabble US (TWL) or the Words with Friends (ENABLE) dictionaries.
https://scrabblewordfinder.org/solver
Never heard of dogpile and had to solve sans pangram.
Got very distracted by yesterday SB. Is dogpiled not a thing Why is pigpile pig pile?
Hazelnut right away today but unthinkably di not compute thinkable as a word. BETHEL LAZULI INKY was my settle for today
Can’t believe I got both YUZU to work as a lead-in to UNTHINKABLY … AND for it to match the given OA.
YUZU- a small, sour citrus used in Japanese cooking and is a cross between a mandarin and an ichang papeda (which is also an Asian fruit).
Got OA after some chewiness.
Hazelnut- think able
OA after getting hung up on EUTHANIZE for far too long.🙄
And EUTHANIZABLE . . .
Me too. Blanky (accepted) and Euthanize covered everything. But I couldn’t link them without Yike in the middle. Blanky Yike Euthanize: dark turn at the end. 😮
Unthinkable Ethylize*
LB doesn’t like. Well stuff LB and the buggered internet, I’m having a drink. It’s time to ethylize…
Does anyone have an answer in 4? I just try to get it in 4.
Hazelnut – Thinkably
Hey Dave
ZEBU-UNLIT-THINK-KAY
ZEBU-UNLIKE-EAT-THY
yuzu – unthinkable
Never heard of Yuzu. Tried Zenu. Ended up with LIEU UNTHINKABLY YIZ
3 worders
BLANKET / THINLY / YUZU
YAKUZA / ALBEIT / THIN
Here is the full list including Scrabble words:
** Don’t look at the list if you haven’t finished solving the puzzle **
(The first number is a count and the second number is the number of letters used)
1 – 17 hazelnut / thinkably
2 – 15 yuzu / unthinkable
3 – 18 zebu / unthinkability
4 – 15 zebu / unthinkably
5 – 19 babylike* / euthanatize*
6 – 17 babylike* / euthanaze*
7 – 17 babylike* / euthanize
8 – 16 ketubah* / hyalinize*
9 – 16 khutbah* / hyalinize*
OA, though despite seeing YUZU early and UNTHINKABLE/UNTHINKABLY, it took a while for me to put them together. 🤷♂️
