👍
…when his balloon left Oz without Dorothy…
In a spell-bind! 😀
Wizard – Dejectedly
Another OA
OA as if by magic!
WIZARD DEJECTEDLY
OA here as well. Took a little while, but not too bad. Love some of the TI commentary. This may age me, but I’d add how Ozzie Smith walked off the field after the 1985 World Series.
😉
Yup!
OA Today!
OA. Found Wizard right away. Dejectedly took a little bit longer.
same
wizard – dejectedly
OA as well. Started with REJECTED. Then tried WIZARDLY and quickly saw that if I moved the “LY” I could get to where I needed to be.
Exact same sequence for me. Rejected –> wizardly –> wizard –> dejectedly.
OA after a bit of a struggle. Better than yesterday. 😀
WIZARD / DEJECTEDLY Pretty fast one…
OA.
OA, too.
*WIZARDED-DEJECTEDLY
*WIZARDED good in OED, Wiktionary
Why would you want WIZARDED? It’s the same solution, but more inefficient. If it gave you a different solution, that might make sense, but the second word is the same.
You should focus on your own puzzle solving cause you got a lot of catching up to do.
🤣
Harsh! 😄
O/A – thought it wouldn’t be, as it’s a clumsy-sounding word. IMO.
Oa
OA
WIZARD – DEJECTEDLY
Resorts to spell checker.
OA in under a minute.
OA
Cyclized dejected draw
OA
OA in seconds in what is either a first or a second for me. Very satisfying. Hoping the wizard finds his confidence again.
OA!
This is, by the way, what Dumbledore was doing in his final days at Hogwarts.
OA and NOT looking for other pairs today
WIZARD — DEJECTEDLY
Lots of maybes today: LATERAL, CATALYZE, CATALYZED, CATALYZER, DIALYZED, DIALYZATE, WIZARDLY, but no easy connections. LB didn’t accept WATERJET.
I finally found DEJECT, DEJECTED, DEJECTEDLY, and WIZARD was right there.
My wife got this quickly Wizard dejectedly
OA
Disappointed by the new Harry Potter
😄
OA
OA after getting stuck on WIZARDRY.
OA soon after failing with WIZARDLY.
Also JEZAIL* LAWYER REACTED
*MW
OA pretty quickly. Not particularly efficient, so I thought there might be a more efficient solution. But I guess not….ar least I haven’t seen one posted yet.
Dialyzer rejected draw
Nice
I was DEJECTED after failing to find a match for WIZARDRY, until I REALIZED that I only had to drop the RY to get the OA
Same here!
OA. Must admit to using a word search for any words including W & Z. Yes, WIZARD should have been easier to see. Just needed a bit of a boost after losing my Wordle streak Monday.
WIZARD – DEJECTEDLY
Sirius Black cloud
OA
Me too.
OA
After a bit of futzing around.
Found dejected, rejected, wizard, wizardry. About to give up and feeling dejected when it finally occured to me to add the ly to dejected and drop the ry on wizard. What a reject!
Really?
OA
OA relatively fast. First tried words containing J and Z (that’s my technique: use the ‘weird’ letters first LOL). Nothing. Then tried W and Z, and WIZARD popped right up. Then DEJECTEDLY just flowed.
