OVAAMBIDEXTERITY
OVA—AMBIDEXTERITY
Wow, what an OA!
Either ova can do the job.
Same, kind of surprised it was the OA, thought I’d stumbled on something so convoluted that it must be unique…
OVA – AMBIDEXTERITY
What’s the ova/under?
😄
And O(V)A here as well. Picturing a deft juggler. Definitely don’t want to drop one with the price of eggs these days.
OVA / AMBIDEXTERITY Probably a one-off.
OA Ova Ambidexterity here as well. I’m pretty sure it’s against the law now.
Gotta be a one-off. (Although every time I say that, someone promptly comes out of left field to prove me wrong.)
OVA AMBIDEXTERITY
Oa
OA.
OA
OA and quickly
O(V)A
haha.
beautiful that it’s a paired organ
*VOEMA-AMBIDEXTERITY
*VOEMA good in Collins Dictionary, Scrabble UK (SOWPODS) but not LB
I love his recounting’s chronology in that he dies of dysentery, then gives him the watch.
Not to mention the delivery of the obviousness of the only hiding place for such watch.
Poor Butch. He was always going to have an uphill struggle in life after that interaction.
Also, no clue how I stumbled upon this OA. But that completes my best month… 25 of 28 days I found either the OA, or a 2-solve at least equally efficient, if not more. My best best was 22 days in Jan, then 20 days in Mar 2024.
Congrats!
Nice!

Hartman: I am Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, your senior drill instructor. From now on, you will speak only when spoken to, and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be “sir”. Do you maggots understand that?
How shall I play that one, Bert? Play it safe?
That’s the way you always told me to play it, safe, play the percentage. Well, here we go… fast and loose.
One ball, corner pocket.
Yeah, percentage players die broke too, don’t they, Bert? How can I lose? Twelve ball. I mean, how can I lose? Because you were right, Bert. I mean, it’s not enough that you just have talent. You gotta have character too. Four ball. Yeah and I sure got character now. I picked it up in a hotel room in Louisville.
Fats: Shoot pool, Fast Eddie.
I’m shootin’ pool, Fats. When I miss you can shoot. Five ball … Fourteen ball … Four ball…
Fast Eddie: I’m the best you ever seen, Fats. I’m the best there is. And even if you beat me, I’m still the best.
Bert Gordon: Stay with this kid; he’s a LOSER.
@Richie: Another great scene!
I can’t believe he said that:
“Even if you beat me, I’m still the best.”

Henry Hill: As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.
“I’m The Dude. So, that’s what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or, uh, Duder, or El Duderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.”
Steve:
You had three weeks. The universe was created in a third of that time.
OA and I knew it had to be, but I almost ripped my shirt off with a primal roar when I solved it.

OVA — AMBIDEXTERITY
Very fast solve after being stymied by not being able to fit in DEXTROROTARY
OA rather quickly. Like Samuel, I thought it was too off-the-wall to be official.
OA
OA, but kinda lame
Yah, but on the other hand; the price of eggs…
OA, and mighty chuffed.
No solution for me! This puzzle MAXIMIZED my wasted time to a new EXTREMITY.
OA got dexterity right off the bat,took another 30 min to see ambi
Peter Sellers,Pink panther- it won’t be easy, that is why I have always failed where others have succeeded. Blank day on LB

On that theme,Lancey Howard (Edward G Robinson) Cincinnati Kid. You’re gods kid, but as long as I’m around your second best. You might as well learn to live with it not gods, good. Richies scrabble opponents

And then he loses the coin toss to the shoe shine boy in the alley after the game and the kid looks at him and says: “You try too hard, you just ain’t ready for me yet.”

One-stop shopping that guy. Who deleted all our comments?
Strange. I was looking for it too.
I’ll take the caddy for two grand
Tried MATRIXED DREAMBOY which didn’t work and left me with V. That led to AXIOM and later TAXIDERMIA * but then tried BIOMATRIX which doesn’t exist but hey it made me think of AMBIDEXT…et voila OA.
V was the nub of this one on the line with I and E. A lot of good words, and some crazy ones like Oxidimetry, wouldn’t go. Finally arrived at OA: genetically engineered tennis prodigies who never have to hit a backhand.
Haha. Good one.
What are we going to do? We are going to remember all of the good times , is what we’re gonna do. Curt Henderson , American Graffiti
Fail today. Got DEXTERITY but not AMBIDEXTERITY. Best I could do was a three word solve. VOMITER-REMIXED-DAYBOAT.
Also pegged DEXTERITY almost immediately (along with EXTREMITY), but didn’t think of AMBIDEXTERITY (🙄), and couldn’t come up with any decent use of the V. Tired of know-it-or-you-don’t SS days.
ova – ambidexterity
Got Dexterity but did not see the ambi
OA after a while. I was happy to see that the math term MATROID was accepted!
