some fun VAC extensions

No, I'm not talking about these:
I'm talking about ways to extend the word VAC, which has a tendency to close down the board. This is probably because it's the only three letter word that contains V and C, which don't form any two letter words...

I've done a couple other extension lists of 'popular' high point 3 letter words, i.e. JET (episode 42/43) & OXY (episode 32)... So keep an eye out for more in the future.

Also, according to the site, my blog follower-ship has skyrocketed 50% in the last month or so! Ok, so it's gone from 10 to 15, but still... it was inspiration for me to make a March entry. So thanks for reading! And now, back to our regularly scheduled anagramming:

first,  a sweet back bingo extension:
VACUOLATED containing vacuoles (AUTOCLAVED)

the only front extension:
MEDEVAC to evacuate the wounded from a battlefield by helicopter
(a verb, can be -VACING or -VACKING)

And my four favorite play-through extensions:
CARVACROL an aromatic phenolic compound, found in plants such as oregano and savory and used in flavorings and fungicides.
NOVACULITE a very hard, dense, even-textured, silica-bearing sedimentary rock used in whetstones.
OLIVACEOUS  of an olive color (VIOLACEOUS)
ULTRAVACUA (ULTRAVACUUM) couldn't find a definition....but this may lead to and ULTRA- extension series in the future!
