JAWLINEEXCERPT
OA! Wahoo….JAWLINE quickly, EXCERPTed from face 🙂
OA as well after a brief swing at PIXELATE
Got JAWLINE rather quickly. But didn’t see the solution. Tried PIXELATE and got stuck there too. Went back to JAWLINE and finally figured it out.
OA! And pretty quickly. A nice relief after not getting a 2W solution the past 2 days! 😜
OA. What a drag that was; it took forever to find Jawline!
OA. But definitely took awhile.
Same here. I eventually found it 30 minutes in, but I was expecting failure after so many good words that went nowhere
Same here!!! Spent way too long today.
JAWLINE – EXCERPT …
Missed a spot shaving.
👍👍
Found Jawline Excerpt (an item on the plastic surgeon’s menu) in about a minute, most of it spent trying to spell Excerpt, and knew it had to be the OA. I suspect another one-off!
Same.
JAWLINE was the second word I found. I noticed it from the leftovers of EXPATRIATE with a further leftover C. I too, had a problem spelling EXCERPT.
JAWLINE — EXCERPT
Spent lots of time with EXPATRIATE, EXCENTRIC, PARALEXIA, PLAINTEXT, PIXELATE, PREAXIAL. The remaining letters for most of these just didn’t form any words that I could see. I thought that there would be many solves today, but now I’m not so sure.
i think you’re right, not many possibilities.
I tried “CLEAR” and then “PLAINTEXT” and couldn’t find any good matches. Finally found “JAWLINE” and then “EXCERPT”.

CLUE: DADDY’S little girl.
The name that i had to give my puppy because my mom said i couldn’t call her “Brat”!

Hahaha…

Hey, Mr. DAREDAVEL,

CLUE: Thief with a heavy loot.
the adjective (or adverb?) follows the noun.
adjective.
and it’s carrying more weight than the noun in a ratio of 10:6 adjective to noun. But the noun has to come first.
Noun then verb
Past tense of the verb with E as the link?
Hey, Mr. FRANZzEE2,
YES! Past tense of the verb with E as the link. 👍
And, it is 16/2.
I was going to say Pirate Emburdened… but that leaves out C.
So I put my money on Pirate Encumbered.
Hey, Mr. FRANZzEE2,
👍👍
Double thumbs up!!!
You got the OA! Cheers! 🍻
PIRATE – ENCUMBERED, indeed! 🤓😉😎
☢️🌹
OA after a really bad run. Phew!
OA only after allowing for “incubation” as advised by a LB colleague last week.
Jawline Excerpt
OA in about 5 minutes. The sort of anomaly I welcome. 🙂
JAWLINE—EXCERPT oa, sss
Largest word found: PARATARTARIC
OED:
paratartaric, adj. paratartaric acid, now historical = racemic acid n. at racemic, adj.
Then I went down the logophile rabbit hole. 🙂
Webster: racemic, adjective
of, relating to, or constituting a compound or mixture that is composed of equal amounts of dextrorotatory and levorotatory forms of the same compound and is not optically active.
dextrorotatory, adjective
turning clockwise or toward the right.
levorotatory, adjective
turning toward the left or counterclockwise.
Warning: begin nerdspeak —
As a chemistry student, I always liked reviewing Louis Pasteur’s experiments with racemization using tartaric acid! I recall lab experiments that showed solutions of glucose turned polarized light to the right (the name dextrose began with that discovery and it is still used for things like IV solutions), while solutions of fructose turned it to the left.
End nerdspeak 🙂
🙂 …continuing nerdspeak. I found that left- and right-handedness interesting. It’s amazing that it can create such a profound difference at the biomolecular level.
There are examples in physics too:

Mark, I have to admit that one of the delights in my day is reading your posts. I always learn something and just feel pretty lucky to be in the presence of a mind that is sharp, inquisitive and takes joy in learning. Thanks for bringing a smile to my face today.
OA BTW, after erroneously thinking I was onto something with pixelate…
Susan, pixelate is a great word, in the OED, and relates to graphics programming, another pastime of mine.
We never stop learning.

Took me 10 minutes today. Played around with TRIPLEX for a while.
Today there was one solution and 2 scrabble word solutions.
1 – 14 jawline / excerpt
2 – 15 jawline / excerpta*
3 – 16 jawline / excerpter*
jawline – excerpt
Found Jawline but couldn’t see excerpt … I played around with the letters forever… finally resorted to clues from my partner :)))
OA, but only after spending an hour vainly trying JAW/JAR/JAIL combinations. Finally got JAWLINE, then spent even more time trying to come up with an EXTRA~ word to pair with it.
