OA
suspected singular solution, again!
My god, what an intimidating array – only two vowels, and both of them on the same side! IZE, GH, and FR in the same puzzle?! I was sure I wouldn’t be able to solve this one – but eventually, OA in almost five minutes. Initially thought the OA would contain Yiddish.
This is almost certainly yet another singular solution.
RF, and Irim, best of luck, waiting for your solutions. Happy Friday and weekend to everyone!
Also thought -ING or SYZYGY would lead me somewhere, but no
Yay, Kanishk, congrats!! It took me the same amount of time, about 5 minutes, though I roundly cursed him as soon as I saw the array: Z next to *the two vowels in the array*? No IFY possible, no GH, no NT, and, of course, the all important IZE was impossible. That leaves aside things like ZITHERN.
I was tripped up by HERTZ early on, sure that was it, saw KINGFISH and tried to connect it with HERTZY (yes, I knew it wasn’t real), then remembered that it’s KINGFISHER, and realised immediately that RITZY (which I had noticed earlier) was the way out. Yes, it was only 5 minutes, but this array is just downright nasty. Honestly, Sam, do better – because if you cut off words, no one can learn them. And the point of this isn’t to be some clever kid, but to play and learn. Move out of the best boy in the class mentality.
Oops, forgot to finish my message: waiting for you, RF, my lovely – good luck to you & everyone and happy Friday!
OA. Not instantaneous but these were my first two words found.
I had the same sentiments with you my besties.
Glad we managed to solve this one. Well done guys! 👍

Kingfishers Sitz was all I came up with, in the time I allow myself. Since Sitzy is not a thing
