OA… port-wine stain
My posts can’t get through.
OA for me too.
Uhoh Radio- is Mr. Ezersky blocking his puzzlemaking rival?
😅😁
Same, in 15 minutes again
😁
Struggled today.
I originally saw BIRTH but then got stuck on AZIMUTHAL, but could only come up with YAKUZA — AZIMUTHAL — LIBRARY.
I then went back to BIRTH and finally saw BIRTHMARK.
I know KLUTZY well since I am very klutzy! 🙂
Karma Azimuthal Layby is all I got.
Always wondered when I’d get to use Azimuth – just wanted it to be better than this.
Saw Birth and Mark but never Birthmark. Arrgh!
Yakuza is lovely, though! Good find!
Same! I eventually got the OA, but AZIMUTH and AZIMUTHAL had me sidetracked for a while! 😃
OA!
OA. This puzzle looked insanely daunting and I’m very glad it didn’t take me super long.
OA. Big letters, daunting but clear as a shallow stream after you see it.
OA, which reminds me of a famous Gary Larson cartoon (the deer with a “bummer of a birthmark”). I suspect this is another one-off. What say you, Davel?
That is an awesome cartoon. I remember it too! OA after some struggle with detours to Azimuth, Yakuza, and Hazily.
OA lickety-split, and with a sense of deja vu. Is this a recycled puzzle?
I would be gobsmacked if there were more than one two-word solution. I don’t understand why “klutzily” is not a word, though, which would at least make for an alternative. Wiktionary says it is, but none of the authoritative dictionaries or word lists, as far as I can tell. If glitzily, why not klutzily?
JAILBREAK- KLUTZY was the OA on 8/9/22. (using the SEARCH function on the bottom Mark pointed out)
Word Play:
(4-2-4-3-2-4-5-letters):
(L_ _ _) (M_) (W_ _ _) (A_ _) (O_) (Y_ _ _) (H_ _ _T)
Clue: My go-to karaoke song.
P.S. I had many attempts to post this today.
LOVE ME WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART
Old Ray Charles tune if I’m not mistaken.
Hey, Sir BILL DUFFIN,
A song by ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK.
❤️
🎉🥳 YAY!!! You got it! Good job! 💜
I can sing LOVE ME WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART with ease. ❤️💜
I’m dating myself, but I listened to the Ray Charles Singers album in about third grade, and that song was on it! 🙂
👍
1964!
if i’m reading wikipedia right …
you know, i just now found out there were TWO Ray Charles – one composer, one performer – both gone now. I did not know before today 😎
Hi RrrF
My wife always tells me “Love me with all of your 💔”
Then she continues with “or else!!” and shows me her balisong.
This is all well and good, Y’all, but I must note that the song is actually called Love Me With All Your Heart, no of. As mine spouse is wont to say, ya gotta respect the text.
Oh, yeah, thanks for the correction! 😅😁
Hahaha…
Hahaha…
OA astonished fast for me. I’ll never understand my brain. Sometimes the words leap out at me and on other mornings/days I can’t find the OA even when the words are fairly banal (not like those esoteric ones, i.e. OMIGOSH 🙂 At least the noggin’s still working!
ARBITRARY YARMULKA AZIMUTH was my best/most fun, and MAZURKA ABITRARILY YAH was nearly a gem (damn you, H), but I would not have seen the OA in a month of Sundays!
Argh!
Got to YARMULKA-AZIMUTH with a B leftover…
3 solved as BRAY-YARMULKA-AZIMUTH
Did find KLUTZ(Y) but didn’t get to looking for compound words.
Didn’t see it.
HAZMAT – TRILBY – YUK
Headwear for the duck-and-cover crowd.
OA. Took a while after playing around with altazimuth.
Great word! I will tuck it away for a future puzzle.
I started with klutzy then found mark to get
BIRTHMARK-KLUTZY
for a pretty quick solution.
found this 3 worder
THUMB / BRAZIL / LARKY
I also found:
BIRTH / HAZY / YARMULKA
OA. Saw Klutzy first then looked for something ending in Mark. Took minutes from beginning to end! :)))
OA after a while, had got Klutz and Klutzy and Mark and thought -mark but took a while to get Mirth and then Birth so at that point realized Birthmark must be it.
ARBITRARILY was the longest word in today’s list of words (not part of a solution)

OA for me too.
I found it about 730am my time, about 1130 blog time, but just now getting a chance to tell y’all here because we went down to Tim’s barn and moved some stairs and did some trim work – this isn’t your usual barn – has A/C, two fridges, oven, etc. etc.
Anyway, perhaps like a couple of others, KLUTZY and BIRTHMARK did not jump out at me at first. I messed around with AZIMUTHAL (LB okay) and THUMBMARK (LB not ok, and i guess not PSW, but is in M-W and Wikitionary). But when i finally saw it, i have to admit that the OA is the easiest solution for these letters.
Have a great evening folks!
😎
Its helpful
birthmark – klutzy
There is one solution today. No 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 – 15 birthmark / klutzy
OA, and was afraid right off the bat that it would hinge on a Yiddish word I didn’t know. Looked at BLITZ for a long while before switching to KLUTZY, and spotted ~MARK as a potential suffix pretty quickly, leading to OA. 😅
OA. Took a while
