Yup. Once I saw YACHTING and stipped getting hungup on QUARK

OA for me too.
Well done Miss Irim. Looking forward to seeing Kanishk-boy again. 🤗
A nice under 5 minute OA. Feels like the first easy solve for me in weeks. Only 5/15 in July.
Hiya,
Hold on – *heads over to Alice’s Letter Boxed Solver*
Yeah, Alice only has that and TYKHANA-ACQUIRING as possibilities – and it doesn’t take TYKHANA!
I did think that might be the case when ACQUIRING, ACQUAINTING didn’t even offer anything resembling a possible second word!
Same here…
QUIRKY-YACHTING

OA here too.
OA in less than 3 minutes.
OA — made me think of The Lady From Shanghai.
Hyrka(W) acquainting. Just to put something out before I spend as much time as I did yesterday.
I thought I’d found a good one with “QUIRKITH* HYACINTHING**”
But “quirkith” turned out to be “quirkish” with one of those serifed S’s.
**used humorously by WPA author Henry Allsberg when writing of “blooms blooming, hyacinths hyacinthing and violets violating” etc.
Quirky yachting fresh eyes quickly saw yachting
Hi Bill. I was finally led to Yacht due to the fact that many of my other words ended with the letter Y.
Nevertheless, it was a difficult solve and I spent too much time working on today’s puzzle.
Words that begin with Y are hard to find.
Now I must go and Engraft a new tree!

Hi Catherine, I felt it was harder than expected also. After everything else I tried yanking and then quit for a while. Yachting was first thing I saw when I went back( subconscious working on it?) Are you really grafting?
Hi Bill. It was a little LB Joke from yesterday. One of the OA words from yesterday was Engraft which pretty much means the same as Graft.
But if I were to do so, I would try a Magnolia.
My grandmother had two grafted Mulberries which looked like umbrellas.
From what I’ve read about that nursery rhyme about going round and round the mulberry bush that’s apropos for yesterdays search and finding vehicle engraft..we learned about grafting in elementary school but I’ve never tried it.
The second sentence here could use some editing…
The one at 4:44…
OA Today.
I feel so much better after yesterday’s disaster!
Engraft is a word I shan’t forget even though it is rarely used.
OA
OA Saw QUIRKY first thing, but YACHTING took a while–which is odd since Yacht seems to come up comparatively often: such a useful Y word.
