CTOUFMQZBINA
The answers are:
QUIZZOMBIFICATION
OA.
OA in very little time.
Gawd I hope there are better answers than this.
Don’t quite understand the TI here.
TI?
Thematic integrity.
Is there always a theme?
OA – when your mind has gone to mush but you blindly soldier on to find a solution to LB.
So today’s LB is our official warning of the hazard?
😀 I suppose it is!
OA, as well.
I’d be curious to know if there’s anyone who begun with ‘quiz’, i.e. who didn’t first get ‘zombification’ and then restarted for ‘quiz’.
Not me. And is there any other 2-word solution?
That would be me literally put the oa answer in as first attempt. I do not know what to do with the rest of the morning
Me. I didn’t even know ZOMBIFICATION was an actual word. I just tried it out. I’m actually surprised it is an acceptable word given some words the puzzle has rejected in the past.
OA. Took me all day. I don’t know how you master solvers always get it so quickly!
Ha! Great question! No for me. Exactly as you described.
OA. Looks familiar.
Yeah. The Halloween OA was ZOMBIFIED – DRUNK
OA
Another gimmicky array. I will be stunned if there is another solution. Thin on the birds, too: 🐦 AMAZON, BAZA, BOUBOU, IBON, MAO, OMAO, TIT, TUI
OA, but also UGH. No fun here.
I found the OA amusing. It brought to mind old school days (or daze) during Finals – staggering about, moaning and hollow-eyed, after one too many all-nighters.
OA
OA
I think this is the only two word solution
I dismissed QUIZ because it is only 4 letters. I really thought there is NO very long Z-word.
I know. And who expects Z to be the pivot letter?
OA.
4-solve was the best I could muster – what an evil letter set … I started making up words to get this:
BONZA-AQUATIC-CAM-MAFIC (20/4)
You’ve got more determination than me! I figured early on that any answer other than the OA would be hard work – and stopped.
I hear that! I stopped before getting to OA.
OA for me. Where are the bots today to give us the full array of solutions…? 🤔
The only 3-word combo I could cobble together was AQUAFABA – AZOIC – CATAMOUNT.
This is far more impressive than the OA 🙂
With a little indulgence and horrible simplification of geo politics in Africa after the collapse of the economy in the south east coast and resulting civil wars. One could talk about the MOZAMBIQUIFICATION of the region
Very good, Oscar. 👏🏾👏🏾
Great! That was the first 1 word solution I’ve seen!
😮
OA here as well. Pretty sure it’s the only accepted two-word solution. Feast to Famine over the last three puzzles!
What does OA mean? I can’t figure it out. (I’m new to letterboxed)
The only other 2 word solution was:
quoz / zombification
There weren’t even any Scrabble words in today’s solution.
The OA includes two PSWs. Quoz is not a PSW.
QUOZ ix accepted by LB today
The best 3 word solution (which doesn’t’ include quiz / zombification) was:
maza / aquafaba / acuation
Could have used: quiz / zombification / nonfat (for example)
Maybe I could get away with:
zombification / noa / aqua
Today, LB had only 275 valid words you could use instead of an average of 1200 – 2000 words or ao
OA. But Zombification should not be a word. In past puzzles I’ve tried legal terms (not even Latin) that we lawyers and judges commonly use in court filings and orders, which NYT thinks are “not a word,” yet this is a word?
Had a go with –IZATION words, and came up empty. Anyone?
There was 1 word: MICATIZATION
I gave up on this one–just couldn’t see it. I think they had Zombify, or some variation, on Halloween.
OA, after many attempted and failed -FICATIONs/-IZATIONs. Definitely a rough arrangement.
I was soo close. I started out with quiz. Then I put that away and did zombi (not a word). But didn’t make it to zombification before I tapped out. Very frustrating LB today.
Oh, crap. Got Quiz, didn’t persist.
Thought I’d finish with a 6 word solution: Quib Bonobo Oaf Foam Mazac Cat.
Not pretty and easily as much work as the OA 🙁
