VANQUISHEDDOZE
VANQUISHED—DZO 13/2
+doze, dozen, plurals, etc…
It’ll be interesting to see if there’ll be any non-vanquished solutions.
I’d be interested in what you have to do to feel certain you won that contest…
I have defeated the mighty cow/yak!
Man, those are the days!
DISAZO and DIAZINON also work.
I didn’t know the former, but the latter is a common insecticide.
typo: ^DIAZO
The Mighty Cow Yak is my new avatar.
Vanquished Doze (by splashing cold water on my face); also Vanquished Dozen (Twelve at one blow! Granted, they were flies, but still…) and Vanquished Dozens (everybody was Kung Fu fighting). I too will be interested to see if there’s an unVanquished solution. I suspect not.
Whew…close call! I was literally coming here to post my failure when the QA leapt out at me.
OA… sleeping it off.
OA, too.
me three😊
OA, also, and very quickly.
VANQUISHED / DOZE under a minute…
OA – seeing V wouldn’t be next to the I or E, (so no IVE suffix) and reasonably sure the Q word would have to use either the Z or V – it was a fast solve.
Exactly what I thought too!
Vanquished-Dozen
Hey, who ate all the donuts!?
Ha!
(OA for me – a nice change after yesterday’s ridiculous puzzle)
VANQUISHED – DOZEN
Meta TI.
Vanquished Doze
same
VANQUISHED — DOZEN
VANQUISHED — DOZE
VANQUISHED — DIAZINON
VANQUUSHED
DOZEN on the first attempt itself!
LB has been very kind today after taking me on a brain racking search for the elusive POTHERB yesterday!
Typo vanquished *
Joined others today.
Quickly got Vanquished, then a few options with Doze, Dozen.
OA. Vanquished is the winning word today. The rest is settled after that
Disappointed that LB does not recognize HEDONIZE.
vanquished – doze
OA not much choice
Though vanquished dozen sounds like a Tarantino movie
Agree. Looked to me as if there had to be one definitive word or root. I found VANQUISH right away and after 30 seconds of failing to start a word wit “H”, I added the “ED” and the solution was obvious.
OA. Pretty much instantly.
OA very quickly after failing yesterday.
I didn’t know about the cow/yak. Was surprised it didn’t allow “doz” for “dozen”,
VANQUISHED – DOZEN (15)
VANQUISHED-DZO (13/2)
Tried logical combos of letters to form a first word that connected to VANQUISH(ED) using only 13 letters. Gave up and was just about to enter -DOZE as figured I’d try DOZ, which wasn’t accepted. I don’t know why I tried DZO but to my surprise it was accepted.
What is a DZO? A hybrid between a cow and a yak (pronounced like JOE with a slight d at the beginning)
VANQUISHED – DOZEN
A follow-up to The Dirty Dozen.
What sadly happened to them after the war.
😂
OA quickly, too
OA, though I prefer the TI of VANQUISHED – DOZENS. Certainly better than whatever POTHERB Ezersky was BRAZENLY smoking when he came up with yesterday’s puzzle…
I blew it yesterday, but got the OA today in under 3 minutes. Hooray!
OA Took a while but clicked together quickly after seeing Vanquished, so I figured it was official.
In defense of “potherb”: in the fields of cooking and gardening, it’s not at all unfamiliar. Since I like those activities, not seeing it yesterday–though I got Brazenly–resulted in some extreme eye-rolling.
Another quick OA suddenly saw Vanquished and got it! Like others, a nice change from recent failures.
OA A mercifully quick solve today.
Started off with QUASHED DENIZEN NOVA which led me quickly to OA.
Great three word solve!
Thx Bill!
OA, and quickly. First solve in a while.
OA, didn’t take too long.
OA at the moment I was ready to give up. 😁
I couldn’t see it all day. Coming back several times and still seeing quashed. The best pairing I had was Quashed – Denizen. (no VO).
Had Brazenly yesterday and tried to reverse engineer a word ending in B, but potherb. 🙄
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 – 18 vanquished / deadzone
2 – 19 vanquished / deadzones
3 – 18 vanquished / diazinon
4 – 15 vanquished / diazo
5 – 14 vanquished / doze
6 – 15 vanquished / dozes
7 – 15 vanquished / dozed
8 – 15 vanquished / dozen
9 – 16 vanquished / dozens
10 – 13 vanquished / dzo
11 – 14 vanquished / dzos

13 – 19 vanquished / diazinons*
14 – 17 vanquished / diazoes*
15 – 16 vanquished / diazos*
16 – 17 vanquished / dozened*
Deadzone! Nobody got anywhere near that. Great TI!
Hey guys – i was a little occupied with Wundermap yesterday about this time and didn’t get to LB until a little while ago …
mine was VANQUISHED DOZE also, thinking that would be most efficient … i had never heard of DZO so thanks to y’all who had and have now taught me a new word …
Words that i could type in but were useless this time include:
VANISHED / VANISHES
DENIZENS
QUASHED / QUASHES
Blessings! 😎🐝🇺🇸
