The answers are:
FROLICCHUTZPAH
OA in a flash, knowing Mr. Ezersky loves Yiddish
OA. As soon as I saw Chutzpa was there, I knew it would be part of the solution.
OA, after hoping PROTOZOAL would work.
I tried so hard to make protozoal work.
I gave up after protozoal wouldn’t work. And never would have gotten chutzpah so it’s for the best I guess.
Me three. 😄
One of the easier solutions!
OA too, a delightful one!
First, found prolific – chutzpah (me offering up my little quips to this esteemed community).
After finding chutzpa was accepted, went back for efficiency to:
Frolic – chutzpa
and now I’m just rolling in self-confidence.
Keep those hilarious quips coming, Mvua!
OA
Chutzpah popped out and from there it was a walk in the park.
PROLIFIC – CHUTZPAH
I don’t like a letterboxed sans ‘E’.
PROLIFIC-CHUTZPA(H): accepted with/without terminal H. Unlike MVUA, I didn’t do the efficiency pass, but ALIOW.
PROLIFIC for me too.
Me too
PROLIFIC-CHUTZPAH for me too. When the grid is so constrained, it makes it a lot easier. Toyed with TOPAZ for a while, then landed the CHUTZPAH jackpot.
Ditto – except I also got sidetracked with ZILCH – no pun intended!
FLUORIC CHUTZPAH
Same
Likewise.
🐦 CITRIL, COUA, CUTIA, IFRIT, PALILA, PAROTIA, PARULA, PIPIPI, PIPIT, RAIL, COAL TIT, TOPAZ, TUI 🐦🐦 COOT, PARROT, POTOO
same
Same here.
OA in a jiffy.
OA — another way of saying if you’ve got it, flaunt it!
Chutzpa and… colorific. lol
OA but a little slower, got stuck on halfcourt for a while
Me too! That, and flipchart
I toyed around with PROTOZOA for a little bit before finding
PROLIFIC – CHUTZPAH
but then I also quickly found
COLORIFIC – CHUTZPA which isn’t as efficient but is definitely more artistically flamboyant!
FLUOROTIC—CHUTZPA
Extreme pride in speckled teeth!
3 solve today: POUCH-HALF-FRITZ (14/3)
Need to brush up on my Yiddish!
OA after struggling for an hour with FLIPCHART which only left me with three remaining letters, but couldn’t do it.
Didn’t have much time today; 3w 15/3 answer = FRUIT TOPAZ ZILCH.
Quickly hit on the OA, but without the extra H. Figured it for the OA instanter, given the puzzlers’ love for Yiddish. I really like Prolific Chutzpah better, though, no matter how inefficient.
I found FLIRT / TORCH / HUTZPAH
Fluoric – Chutzpa
Didn’t we have chutzpah recently? Didn’t see it today.
FLIP PROTOZOAL LURCH
Colorific Chutzpah
Here is the full list including Scrabble words:
** Don’t look at the list if you haven’t finished solving the puzzle **

1 – 17 colorific / chutzpah
2 – 16 colorific / chutzpa
3 – 18 colourific / chutzpah
4 – 17 colourific / chutzpa
5 – 14 frolic / chutzpah
6 – 13 frolic / chutzpa
7 – 16 prolific / chutzpah
8 – 15 prolific / chutzpa
9 – 15 fluoric / chutzpah
10 – 14 fluoric / chutzpa
11 – 17 fluorotic / chutzpah
12 – 16 fluorotic / chutzpa
13
13 – 16 prolific / chalutz*
14 – 18 torporific / chalutz*
Proof that if I wasn’t gonna get chutzpah I wasn’t getting a 2 word solve today
OA, after a LOOOONG time and SO CLOSE to giving up. Spent forever trying to figure out how to use the “Z,” went through PROTOZOA, TOPAZ, ZILCH, and was obsessed with FLIPCHART for the longest time. Was messing around with random “TZ” combinations when I thought of CHUTZPA, though I first entered it as HUTZPAH (which it accepted). Only took a second to figure out/remember the other spelling once I saw FROLIC in the leftovers.
A last-minute solve at 1AM and a 13/2 to boot? You better believe my CHUTZPA will have me FROLICking tonight! 😝
So basically there were no 2 word answers without chutzpa(h)
