VUVUZELAANONYMITY
Am I really first out of the gate?
OA, with surprising speed given the outcome. It is indeed difficult to pick one out of a crowd. Good on TI, lousy on efficiency.
Is this another one-solution array? Let’s find out!
Same here Bernie – doubt there are other combos but let’s see…
Anatomy, Anytime, Lazy, Lemony, Melatonin, Melony, Mononym, Motza (but no to Mitzva), Vanity, Zealot, Zloty….
Mezuza
That was as close as I got: MEZUZA–ATONALITY. Still, the V remained.
Worked on it for awhile. Seeing the OA, it was a good time to quit. Would not have gotten this.
Totally flummoxed.
I have very little experience with stadium events in South Africa, which (I gather) is where one becomes familiar with the vuvuzela? Tough one!
Yep!
OA surprisingly quickly.
I didn’t have time to work the puzzle. I was too busy practicing on my vuvuzela.
Threw in the towel after Monotonality Yuveza was rejected.
Settled for Zany Yule Emotive, ho hum. I was thinking of the stupid noisy thing but couldn’t remember the word for it.
What does YUVEZA mean?
Seems to be a name in Poland. These are desperate times.
OA. Dead ends forever, then came in a subconscious flash once I got ANONYMITY. All those early morning watching the World Cup this month, I guess!
OA ….
vuvuzela…really…?
They were very much in the Zeitgeist for a while, back whenever that was. I will never be able to erase the painful memory of their hideous noise.
But I admit it’s fun to say Vuvuzela. It’s a real Zippy the Pinhead “Moment”.
Agree!
Fail! Glad I looked it’s been driving me crazy all day. I would never have got it.
Agreed!
Same here. Like TK (below), I am stubborn to a fault, but I had to give this one up. Doubt I ever would have stumbled upon VUVUZELA, even by noodling.
unless you watched the SA world cup in 2010, no way to know the vuvuzelas
Same
I really thought I was onto something with nonvolatile, but, alas, no.
Stumped here too; had hopes for MOTILITY, VOLATILITY, VITALITY, MINUTIA, MINUTIAE. Surprised MINUTIAL was ok, so my 3w best guess: MINUTIAL LOVEY YUZU.
Complete washout. Well done to those who solved!
Agreed! 🙂
Yea
It’s answers like this that make me scratch my head and think – really?
Oa. Finally. Took me until 1:30 in the afternoon. Painful waste of time, but I am stubborn to a fault.
OA. After a long break, it suddenly came, but I was still surprised it was the official.
Phew that was tough.
Every one of my standard constructs were being defeated by the grid.
I remember watching the soccer world cup in south africa and getting annoyed by the sound the vuvuzelas left an indelible mark on my mind
OA…sort of. As soon as I found ANONYMITY I knew it must be part of OA, and I rembered there being an instrument called a VUVUZELA and figured that would be the solve (in part because it’s annoyingly obscure enough to satisfy Letterboxed’s editor). But I couldn’t for the life of me figure out the spelling. So I looked up how to spell VUVUZELA. Surely that still counts, right? RIGHT? 😱
(Either way I’ve got a 23-day streak going, which is a personal best, so I’m DEFINITELY counting it! 🤣)
I really do hope it counts, ’cause I have to check the spellings all the time 😱
I found ANONYMITY. And NOVELTY. That is all. Oh, and the YUZU was back.
HAHA
