Good morning!

QNw3LL to remember melee. LB nudge for winterizing-gulch.

I needed the nudge because I'm in California and we don't winterize!

Anyway happy Friday and happy solving!

Good morning!

QBwH for bookmobile and ollie, my last word.

LB: winterizing-gulch—since I'm in a wintry part of the country!

Happy Friday to you, too, and happy puzzling!

Good morning!

I am sometimes embarrassed by words that I do not see and for which I seek hints. The two words yesterday were canyon and contort, words that should have been easy. Ah well... so, QBwH. Perhaps I am more easily frustrated than I used to be.

No LB solution yesterday.

Happy puzzling!

Good morning!

I also needed hints - my last words included canyon, concoct, cannot. And a wild guess at octad. When the puzzles are really long its easy to overlook a few words. There were 45 c-words!

LB lots of 3fers and 2fer b4ss. Went for hints and got dinks-showable, shadow-weblink, showdowns-skiable.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

QBwG last word maim. LB movers-saponify. I saw saponify on the hand soap in my bathroom the other day and thought it was a cool word. And here we are!

Happy solving,!

[cathwen]

Good afternoon!

QBwH for mahimahi (which I always consider hyphenated) and megahit, my last word.

LB: No solution! But I am impressed with saponify! Now I must look at my hand soap labels.

Happy puzzling!

Good morning, ciao_yall!

QBwH for my last word, yeech, which I do not think of as a word. Oh well...

LB: vitals-safeword. I was surprised that the second word was accepted as one word.

Happy puzzling!

[ciao_yall]

Good morning, cathwen!

QBW2LL last word maxilla. LB was a rather long plumeria-alphabetize.

Happy solving!

[cathwen]

Good morning!

QBw2LL, last word balm. How did I miss that until the end?

LB: brutalize-ephemera(l). Another one with many solutions!

Happy puzzling!

[ciao_yall]

Morning cathwen!

I hear you on those easy words you either thought you put in, or totally overlooked.

QBwH for convene. LB nudge for mountaintop-paraboloid which may be my longest 2fer ever.

Happy solving!
