The answers are:
JUDOOVERWATCH
OA.
Oa. Where is everyone?
Good Morning! OA too.
Olympic Committee?
Yeah, where is Mark? Thought he was our early bird.
Good morning Goldie! I was logging on just now. 🙂 I’m seeing only the official answer today, along with it’s past tense variant. ☕
Got the OA too!!
Is there necessarily one right answer? I know in past puzzles there were multiple possibilities but maybe youre making it harder?
Sometimes there is what I’ve heard folks call a UNIQUE ANSWER. We shall see as the day progresses whether there are other possible solutions… whether one is more “right” than another, you be the judge!
There are no right or wrong answers, just solutions. There is always at least one two-word solution. With J, W, and V in the array, you can pretty much guarantee that the set of two-word solutions is very small. I would bet a lot of money that the only two-words solutions today are the OA and JUDO – OVERWATCHED.
DAVEL will share all the possible two-word combinations at the end of the day.
Here’s an early hint. There are no other solutions.
Ha!
Word Judoka, Master Overwatch has spoken.
OA. Struggled to get much due the position of the J, but after about 10 minutes I noticed TCH and then WATCH and then OVERWATCHED/OVERWATCH and then found the OA.
OA. I tried THUJA with no luck.
judo – overwatch
OA for me today after a GROTESQUE defeat yesterday.
Cute! I thought of GROTESQUE while driving on an errand! It was still playing in mind!
JUDO – OVERWATCH
Ninja backup.
I’m not good enough to know if it’s unique. But I certainly knew it would be the OA. Nice one.
OA here – about 4 sips into the coffee. Saw watched first and finally over – even though I usually always suss out UNDER, OVER, OUT, UP, IN, WAY, TION, ING, ISM right off the bat to generate possibilities. Methinks it’s a one off too because OVERJAW didn’t work.
OA after quite a while. But I’m irritated that throwcover, crowdcover, headcover aren’t accepted.
JUDO / OVER / REWATCH
That 3 word solution is almost JUDO / OVERWATCH
OA after a long struggle. I really wanted CHOWDERHEAD to work but couldn’t bring that home.
Me too 😉
Overwatch? Really? Listed as archaic and obsolete it’s a bit of a stretch to me.
It is definitely a stretch! I was dumbfounded when it was accepted!
I started with Throwover but apparently not a word. But Overwatch is. Go figure. Anyone else have problems with the ads causing page to freeze? And jump around? Typing is nigh impossible sometimes.
Some odd “non-words” today. Headcover is not a word? What is it that I use to cover my Driver and 3-Wood in my golf bag? Every website that sells them calls them headcovers.
HEADCOVER is not a PSW either. I suspect it was originally always treated as two words, but, English being a living language and usage eventually prevailing, at some point it may become widely accepted as one word — just like WATERPROOF.

I had the less efficient judo overwatched.
OA, and pretty quickly today. Found OVER was a possibility, and immediately started looking for add-ons, which led OVERWATCHED, and JUDO in the leftovers.
Regarding OVERWATCH being archaic/obsolete – it does get used quite a bit in video games nowadays, which is where I learned of it. 🎮😝
OA for me. HADJ didn’t get me far.
OA today
I didn’t think of Overwatch; got Overwatered, Watchtower, Weathered etc. My 3w answer I submitted was close: JUDO OVERCOAT THAW.
I overlooked overwatch and so it was pretty much over for me. Spent too much time looking for j words. Didn’t even get judo.
I tried a lot of words that were rejected. Got nowhere. J is really hard for me without i or l.
<1% chance of me getting the OA. Never would have retrieved JUDO from my brain.
WRETCHED DEVOUR RAJAH
Yeah, I really wanted to use rajah but no joy there.
Here is the full list of words today. No Scrabble words.
1 – 13 judo / overwatch
2 – 15 judo / overwatched
OA, in fairly short order. I figured it for a one-off, but I’m usually proven wrong on that score. Not this time, though! Huzzah.
No luck with this one!
