With the release of the first two words out this week....the only theme I can come up with is
~ words that contain 5 vowels!

But then the next three had me thinking and thinking......

I have sent in something....all but one word fitted my theory, but I twisted that one in too.....

tomorrow will tell wink

With all you had going on this week, I am amazed you had time
to try to figure it out. I gave it a whirl, but was left with
nothing.

for those who don't get the weekly mail, or don't know how to find it in the archives (or didn't figure it out for themselves!); the theme was "three consecutive letters from the alphabet appearing consecutively". (his wording, not mine.)

as per usual (all of?) Anu's puzzle(s) had to do with Form, not Function.

Looks like I should have gone with my first instinct crazy

This was my entry.....

I think they are all drink related, as in WINE~indulgence

Oenophile~made it their business to know about wine from the flavour....they sip and spit so as to not get intoxicated.
Interstitial~pause, break between, pace.... between drinks.
Stupefy ~ again with alcohol, this time too much.
Defalcate~misuse, over indulge, stupefy.
Somnolence~all may be effected this way, the Oenophile after enjoying a 'few', the Interstitial even though only 'had a few', the Stupefy has had a 'few too many', and now Somnolence~needing a 'few' ZZZZZZ's now.

I put tooooo much thought into it LOL
