BIRTHPLACES
SAFE

AFTERBIRTHS – SCALP : cradle cap, or vernix?

FIB – BIRTHPLACES : well… in the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in Paddington, London; of course.

My solution:

SHARP PERFECTIBLE

Off to work on some of the other puzzles.

BIRTHPLACES SELF

phlebitic – carafes

SHARP — PERFECTIBLE

I had a hard time giving up on CHARACTERISTICS, but the remaining letters just wouldn’t produce a nice word.

Odd that B*TCH is not allowed. But the F word pluralized in Wordle is. The NYT is so odd.

FEBRIFIC* CHAPLETS here.

I found this 3 worder

FIB / BERTHS / SCALP
