The answers are:
ADJUSTTRANQUILITY
OA
Me too, which is good, after how fraught I was yesterday.
OA In a reasonable time
OA after playing around with SQUIRT, SQUIRTS AND SQUIRTY.
OA for me as well.
I really wanted DAIQUIRI to work. UNJUSTLY and DAIQUIRI use all the letters but I needed YARD to connect them. So:
UNJUSTLY YARD DAIQUIRI.
Same three-word solution for me. I found ADJUST, but I couldn’t see TRANQUILITY. I tried ANTIQUITY, too, but got nowhere.
Adjust tranquility
ADJUST / TRANQUILITY
Took a while…
Oa, very quickly by my standards.
Ditto, Less than 5 minutes for me after missing MYSELF yesterday,
ADJUST — TRANQUILITY
Saw TRANQUIL and then TRANQUILITY and ADJUST stood out.
Played with UNJUSTLY, DAIQUIRI, and UNRULY.
Same as OA
ADJUST – TRANQUILITY
OA here as well.
OA
Got ADJUST, did NOT see TRANQUILITY 🙁
UNJUSTLY, YARDS, SQUIRT…
Hey Nicole! i started with SQUIRTS, first word i saw, but couldn’t easily transition to a word that would catch the J so i backed up and started with Just to catch the J
JUST TRAYS SQUIRTS SALADS SUN
– 5 words which beat the LB suggested 6 words.
But then i had to stick the letters in the Quinapalus word matcher to see Tranquility …
i think that LB is the toughest game that i try … Connections can look baffling when i first see the day’s words, but usually after letting them marinate for a little while the patterns begin to emerge …
I thought I was definitely going to use SQUIRTY, but I couldn’t find a pair for it.
Another OA, Adjust Tranquility. There’s medication, meditation, prayer, exercise, diet, therapy, even philosophy – I understand Stoicism is all the rage these days.
I suspect a Singular Solution.
I agree Bernie, it’s an SSS at this point. With the J and the Q, it’s hard to see anything else happening today.
I found UNJUSTLY, and while DAIQUIRIS uses all the remaining letters, there is no way to connect them. J, Q, and Y (and Z) are always trouble!
Hey Mark – i just posted an answer (10:38 blog time) to your question yesterday about Collin’s on that page … then i decided to post three links and of course those are stuck in “Moderation” limbo.
so here’s the 1st link:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collins_English_Dictionary
And the 2nd:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_of_English
And the 3rd:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collins_COBUILD_Advanced_Dictionary
Thanks for that McBee. I’ve been meaning to share with the group an observation. When I try to post more than one link in a comment, I always get that “Your comment is awaiting moderation” message. One link, no problem. Two links, catastrophe! It happens to me frequently when I want to post OED links. I’m going with “max one link per post”, until someone finds a better workaround. ☕☕
me too!

ADJUST—TRANQUILITY
☹️→🙁→😐→🙂→😊
Other words found: QUISQUILIAN, ALTRUISTS, ANTIQUITY, DAIQUIRIS, JUJITSU
QUISQUILIAN is a new one for me. It describes a lot of the streaming shows that I have attempted to watch lately, and given up after 2-3 episodes!
Me too. I was setting out to build a short story with words that start with Q, and I didn’t get too far. QUIT, QUILT, QUIRT,…
Similar story with J words. Sparse LB day for sure. ☕
OA, exactly the same. Playing with Quit, Qullt, Squirt, Squirty, and Antiquity. Only an “i”can possibly follow the QU so I expected a one-off solution.
OA
OA
OA QUICK
Who would want to adjust tranquilit
Exactly.
“Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.”
🚀
OA. Quilts led to tranquility, then adjust falls nicely after
adjust – tranquility
Got the OA too fast today, after trying YANQUI which is in the Scrabble dictionary but not in LB.
Since I was bored, I played with ADJURIST TRANQS SALTY. Can’t find out if they are accepted or not since the app won’t let me play twice.
Ugh, can’t believe I missed seeing ADJUST… got TRANQUILITY. My 3w’s today: JUST TRANQUL LADY; JIT TRANQUILITY YARDS; JUST TRANQUILITY YARD. I was surprised JIT is a word, I only see it all caps as an acronym for Just In Time.
Got Adjust immediately, then looked at Daiquiris, Unjustly, etc. Never did see Tranquility! Ugh.
OA. Took some playing around until I saw UNJUST, then spotted TRANQUIL/ITY in the leftovers, then reversed it and made the ADJUSTment for OA. 🫡
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 – 17 adjust / tranquility
official answer:
ADJUST TRANQUILITY
