OA relatively quick. Seems to be a singular solution.
The agony of the feet.
👍
“Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sport: the thrill of victory… and the agony of defeat.”
ABC was the smallest of the “big three” stations and distinguished itself with “Wild World of Sports” with Jim McKay and others. Great memories!
“Wide World… “. Still have an image in my head of that guy wiping out on his skis in the opening credits, he must have gotten really tired of seeing that repeated every week.
🙂
My shoes have finally been defeated! (Or is it de-feet-ed?)
VANQUISH / HIGHTOP too.
OA
OA immediately.
Oa
I knew VANQUISH have to be part of the OA because it took care of the V, Q, H. No matter how many times I came back to it, I struggled to find the pair from the remaining letters.
I felt the same way. Finally, the 3rd or 4th time I came back to it I saw High and then Hightop to finish the OA.
Oa. Got completely caught up with quahog whilst feeling very pleased with myself
I get it. Quahog is such a wonderful word! That’s how I get stuck too. ‘But it’s such a cool word, please make it work!’
*VANQUISHT-TOPOG*
*VANQUISHT good in OED, Wiktionary
*TOPOG good in Merriam-Webster, Collins, Wiktionary
VANQUISH — HIGHTOP
Eighth grade basketball team — everyone wore black, hightop Converse shoes that year.
Found QUINT, QUOTAS, and VAGINA before coming upon VANQUISH.
OA.

Got the OA.
My only luck with a possible alternative today is QUAHOGS SPAVINT*
*var. of SPAVINED. Spavin is a disease of the hock-joint. It appears in humorous 19thC stories and poems about horses. Such as “the broken-winded savint poacher…” Or “the spavint naig that had been borrowed for the occasion.” Etc.
Sorry, meant to type “spavint poacher”
OA
Worked on quahogs for quite a while
VANQUISH – HIGHSPOT
QUAHOGS, PIQUANT and AQUAVIT threw me before landing on the OA.
Same here!
