The answers are:
AFTERGLOWWHIZ
OA. Mercifully quick!
OA gambled on WHIZ to use the Z, doubted a word ending in W, but the gamble paid off! Backed into AFTERGLOW
Two OAs in two days. This is highly irregular.
Afterglow Whiz indeed. Just what is Sam up to these days and I hope he knows the burn out rate among ladies’ men is woefully high!
Yup!
OA! Quite trivially solved
OA
OA in 30 again after finding these first… W/Hereafter, Grifter/Grafter.
(Gigahertz – Fowl) with now way to connect.
[ Waltzer – Righto (no F) ]
Not happy that Garefowl, Terahertz, Healthgoal were not accepted.
OA too
Oa
OA. delightful!
NOT the OA for me, although i do think the OA will be the only LB accepted solution …
I had to make it more complicated … i always do …
WAFT THEOLOGIZER°
LB doesn’t like Theologizer but Oxford does.
LB will take Theologize but i couldn’t get a match using WAFTR.
Before all those i tried
GIGAHERTZ and AWHILE
but couldn’t get a match for either.
Also, I did find:
GAREFOWL^ LETHARGIZE°
^ = Websters, ° = OED
Or just Oxford dictionary it’s:
GARE-FOWL° LETHARGIZE°
😎🐝🇺🇸
Fantastic combos!
THEOLOGIZER is also a PSW. Great find!
AFTERGLOW – WHIZ
Oz and ends.
OA – the “O” kept getting left out after trying (FIRE)FIGHTER/LIGHTER, WALTZ, etc so figured maybe one word has to end in W to use the Z and Bingo!
AFTERGLOW — WHIZ
I spent lots of time on ETHEREALIZE, THEOLOGIZE, GIGAHERTZ, WHEREAFTER.
While I was working on ETHEREALIZE, I could make AFTERGLOW with the remaining letters, but they couldn’t connect. Once I tried all of the other words, I started with AFTERGLOW and WHIZ was right in front of me. 🙂
Quirks:
LB accepts THEOLOGIZE but not THEOLOGIZER (both are in the OED)
LB accepts GIGAHERTZ but OED does not.
Also found FOWL — LETHARGIZE* (LB doesn’t like it but it is in the OED)
OA Afterglow Whiz. Ruins the mood, but when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Figures to be another SS.
🙂 Nice!
OA. Took a while !
Afterglow Whiz
Ed sheeran
Been a while since i have found anything unique here But today WOWZA* AFTERLIGHT. (DW maybe i can get a psw check on that)
Good one! I came up with WOWZA* AFTERWHILE EGO
OA was easy after I found afterglow in a relatively short time. Tried several -ight words, of course, but nothing linked together. Now onto other weekend activities.
A quick result for a change,
AFTERGLOW – WHIZ (13)
