DEFUNCTTHORAX
furnace exhorted…
“Who touched the thermostat!? If you’re cold put on a sweater!!” – Dads
FURNACE EXHORTED
For me too, and rather quickly after I gave up on EXTRACTOR and UNDERACTED.
Off to sleep now…
Same for me…
Same
FURNACE EXHORTED
also …
😎🐝🇺🇸
Same, in about two minutes this morning.
Saw furnace, but couldn’t finish it. Ended up with the OA with plenty of my commute still to go.
Same, for a change.
Furnace Exhorted
Same
Another Furnace Exhorted, by Darren McGavin in A Christmas Story.
OA here too.
Yup
OA. THORAX was the first word I came upon.
Had OCEANFRONT TEXTURED but missed the h DOH !
OCEANFRONT THUNDER-AX
Thunder-ax is in the OED but LB rejected it.
😎
furnace – exhorted as well
Me too
Found EXECUTOR, EXTRACT, TEXTURE, ANTHRAX, CONTEXTURE, CHARACTER and CHARACTERED. LB doesn’t like UNCHARACTERED
Finally found EXHORT, then EXHORTED, and worked backwards for FURNACE. Wanted FRUCTOSE but no S.
I really wanted to make Anthrax work 🤘
Another furnace exhorted
Darn! Got DEFUNCT but missed the OA. I ran out of time and settled for HOAXED-DEFUNCT-TROD.
finally got OA when I realized HOAX was just there to trip me up
Ha Ha! Opposite for me. Got THORAX, and couldn’t get to DEFUNCT…
Same, took me awhile to see DEFUNCT
I had EXHORTED – DEFUNCT
with a leftover A
OK, I’ll add TEA and go for 3 words
Missed OA! Got EXECUTOR – DEFUND – DAH (dah!)
furnace-exhorted
also FURNACE EXHORTED
CONTEXTURE EARTH-FED
or maybe it’s
CONTEXTURE EARTH’FED
when i ddg EARTHFED some of the results come back as “Earth-fed”, including Wordnik … they define it as “Fed upon earthly things; low; groveling.”
Another result is from the 1828 Noah Webster’s dictionary – apparently there are several websites with this historical dictionary … the one i looked at had this entry:
“EARTH’FED, adjective Low; abject.”
😎🐝🇺🇸
PS – i forgot to add that LB takes CONTEXTURE (but not CONTEXTURED).
And of course it rejects EARTHFED.
😎
Glad I quit early; got DEFUNCT but doubt I would’ve found THORAX. Got ANCHORED DEFUNCT missing the X. Surprised HOAXED was ok’d, so I entered my shortest 3w: HOAXED DEFECT TURN. Also: FOE EXTRACT THUNDER. My very first guess was a 3w answer too: EXTRA ANCHOR REFUTED… etc….
Had EXTRACTOR REFUND for a long time sans H. Finally saw DEFUNCT THORAX. Surprised UNFEARED not accepted.
and FONDUE EXTRA THO
Some odd word rejections today. UNCONTACTED (life forms from a distant planet) and UNCONTRACTED (a free agent) were both rejected.
Furnace, exhorted
Here is the full list. No Scrabble words today.
** 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 – 13 defunct / thorax
2 – 15 furnace / exhorted
I found a 14/3:
FUND / DACE / EXHORT
Does someone want to take over the posting of the full solution?
I can provide a Dart source file for a Flutter program.
