I had to find WORKAHOLIC to make it work; I’m stunned there are so many solutions. Did not know the word KOWHAI till now. Thank you, have a good one!
Thanks Irim. I’m concerned on my Report 2 now, which is the Half Solutions. I have 660 of them today! I’m trying to reformat it so it takes up less space, from a scrolling perspective. Happy Sunday!
Cannon to right of them, cannon to left of them, cannon in front of them, into the valley of death rode the 600
I tried uploading them but the site objected. I may have to piecemeal it. I like your INTERCONTINENTAL solution. ☕
Number 56 for me. 👌

WORKAHOLIC-CENT here, after a brief flirtation with HALTERNECK…and after a lot of cursing of TCH and WRA.
Kanishk and RF, lovelies, hope to see you soon!
Good luck, all, and happy Sunday!
Amazing job, Irim! I think your answer has appeared recently, this year, as an OA before.
KOWHAI – INTERLOCK here; ABSOLUTELY stunned I managed to come up with this, I have never heard of KOWHAI in my entire life before – don’t even know why I tried it in the first place (just a shot in the dark that became really, really lucky)
Love this solution because 1. it’s reversible, and 2. ‘I’ being the pivot letter.
Haven’t seen you yet RF, hope to see you soon to complete the triumvirate!
Ha, well done! It would never have occurred to me to try that, so go you!! And yes, I love things like reversibility and something unusual like ‘I’ being the pivot.
How’s the break going? When are results due?

CLOCKTOWER – RHINAL.
Good on you! I couldn’t pair CLOCKTOWER but took me a while to give up on it. Adding RHINAL to my word list.
WHACKER – RETINOL here after almost the whole cup of coffee!

Clocktower— Rhinal, that is
