OA.
OA also
Another OA
OA after spending too long on JUVENILE / JUVENILIA / JUVIE
Ditto down the line, Mica! At least it didn’t take too long. As for TI, I’m thinking Naughty Javelin is Monty Python slang for the male member.
Very good, Bernie! I think you are a fan! OA for me, too
Same here! I thought Juvenilia would go somewhere, but ended up at the OA
Me too. I did get it relatively quick, but I REALLY wanted Juvenile to work.
OA for me. I did think it a bit ironic that vaginal was a formidable word from this array given how most of us are interpreting the ti for javelin – naughty.
Well, with Bernie’s TI, we all kind of did manage to get JUVENILE to work!
;^)
😂 😂 😂 LOL, KP!
I proudly claim my juvenile naughtiness.
OA as well. Worked on LAUGHING for a couple of minutes and eventually got to the OA in about 5 minutes.
I’m in for the OA today.
OA today too.

Not OA methinks but it is a description of me trying to fix anything around the house

Double thumbs up! 👍👍

Hey Mark – i vote your entry for the OA for RF today 😇
I came up with
LEASE EVERYTHING
but i had to type it out and check it 3 times to make sure i had used up all the letters.
😎
Good morning McBee.
Try my 12/1 challenge too, below:
There’s several hundred 12/1s that I know of, but I’m always looking for more. ☕

Nice answer. Efficient too. Good job! 🤓👍

Feels good to get OA quickly….
Was away for a few days and also had some no solve days recently.
JAVELIN / NAUGHTY quickly tonight.
OA here too. Waiting for someone to see a theme in this.
AMC – and that’s the American Motor Corporation, not the current movie theater chain – had a “Javelin” ponycar back in the day – including some with a Pierre Cardin designed interior – but the model died in 1974. I guess a Javelin you can only throw so far, but Mustangs and Mavericks can gallop all day. 😎

Cool article Mark! Thanks!
a bunch of us went up to
Top of the Rock
https://topoftherockbrewery.com/
and i just now got a chance to read the article.
Actually, i had a friend a little older than me and his first car was a Javelin – probably a 69 or 70 model, i think. My first car was a ’62 Bug 🤣
@McBee. Cool! My muscle car was a Chevelle SS 454. 4-speed, 4-bbl, etc.. It was like a rocket.
My Dad hated that car! He had to come get me when the troopers pulled me over.
“You know how fast you were going, young man?”
“No sir, I buried the needle.”
“Step out of the car, please.”
True story. ☺️
JAVELIN – NAUGHTY
One must never throw at their competition, also, rocket propulsion is frowned upon.
😄 yes, play nicely!
OA
OA after only a few minutes.
Javelin Naughty
Fairly quick solve today for the OA.
Well officially close with JUVENILE EIGHTY YAY. also JUVENALIAN (?think is a real word) NIGHTY

ET phone home!

I got hung up on JUVENILE and EYELIGHT – couldn’t place the A 🙁 Tried JUVENAL (not accepted) really like JUVENALIAN !
OA
JUVENAL°—LIGHTY 13/2
JAVELIN—NAUGHTY OA
UNIJUGATE°—ELEVENTHLY° 19/2
°OED
juvenal, n. Used generally to describe a satirist.
unijugate, adj. Having one pair of leaflets.
eleventhly, adv. In the eleventh place.
JUVENAL* – LIGHTLY here. JUVENAL is also an alternate (largely British) word for JUVENILE in ornithology.
Thanks DW. Good to know.
Love ELEVENTHLY – gonna put that in my cap. Thanks Mark!
Couldn’t get past JUVENILE as one of the words so got it in 3 with JUVENILE – ENLIGHTEN – NAY. Also JUVENILE – ELEGANTLY left me with the H left over 🤦
Hey Dan – that was me – i really wanted to put NAUGHTY together with some form of juvenile. But to match it would have to be a word that ended in N, so first i tried JUVENILIAN (makes sense, right, take the E off the end of juvenile and replace with IAN.
But LB said no.
So i looked online and i discovered there are a lot of occurrences of “juvenilian” but i think they are all misspellings of “juvenalian” the OED word Mark linked above.
So, i tried JUVENALIAN in LB, and no luck with it either.
So, i ended up with
JAVELIN NAUGHTY
the OA.
Earlier i found VAGUELY and GAUNTLY but couldn’t find a complete match to either of them.

I went down a rat hole with SPORTSCAST, SPORTSCOAT, SCALP, but nothing gets to a 12/1.
Good tries. Depending on responses, I’ll put some clues soon.
I have a hunch DaveL will get it easily, if no one gets it sooner.

I found CULPATORY, and the letters left over (DIS) make
DISCULPATORY.
Apparently, a synonym of the better known (at least to me) EXCULPATORY.
✅/🕛/🥇
Good going Bill.
DISCULPATORY isn’t in the Scrabble dictionary, so I didn’t find it.
I could use a pointer to an Oxford English dictionary word list.
Hey Bill – i think you are right.
DISCULPATORY covers all the letters, once each, and I traced it out to make sure there were no sequence problems.
😎
Duplicatorsy 😂🤣
Close. 🙂
If i tell you, you have to let me go, right?
That’s a deal.
I think you know it Oscar.
🙂
Reply to DaveL, since no more consecutive replies are available.
I haven’t cracked that one yet. I’m still just hit and miss with it.
I also don’t like how they don’t let me easily copy their definitions in clear text. Maybe in the HTML, I don’t know.
I still like PSW and MW resources, but it looks like OED is the granddaddy.
OA – really wanted lengthily to fit in somewhere , but ti wouldn’t let me have juvenal
OA
Spent tons of time with JUVENILE, ETHYLATE, ETHYLENE, JUGULATE
OA pretty quickly
OA
juvenile-ethylate
OA. Spent a bit of time on LIGHTENING, LAUGHING, LIGHTLY, and LAUGHING. But eventually found those impish olympians with their naughty javelins 🤣🤣
Juvenile Eyelight Tan.
Waste of time today. Had Javenlin too, but never saw Naughty.
The fasted OA I’ve ever done. The first word I saw followed by the second! :))
OA in ten minutes, surprisingly. JUVENILE preceded it, but EGATHY isn’t a word.
Got OA after a moderate amount of time, once I lucked onto JAVELIN after 3w and 4w’ers – Juvenile Ethyl Lag (18/3), Jiving Gauntlet Thy (17/3). First word I saw was Hyena, then Vigilante or Vigilant. 4w: Ninja Avenue Ethyl Lag. And Ninja Avenging Gaily had Hunt left over but unable to connect it. (for a fun TI maybe).
Late cheeky spear over the endline.
OA. Spent a good while trying to make JUVENILE work, then when I found JAVELIN – NAUGHTY, I realized I was the JUVENILE all along.
Here is the full list including Scrabble words:
** Don’t look at the list if you haven’t finished solving the puzzle **
(The first number is a count and the second number is the number of letters used)
1 – 14 javelin / naughty
2 – 16 juvenal* / lengthily
3 – 14 juvenal* / lightly
4 – 17 juvenal* / lightlying*
5 – 19 unijugate* / eleventhly*
