BETWIXTTRAPEZIUS
OA. Now this was a tricky one, but had great pleasure in finding it.
It was indeed. I suspect a singular solution today, but will not be surprised if a clever LBer finds something else.
The OA within one of it encapsulating triples (ETs):
BETWIXT—TRAPEZIUS—SUB
SUB—BETWIXT—TRAPEZIUS
TRAPEZIUS—SUB—BETWIXT
ETs are not unique, and can be larger. For example, SAB and STAB could have also been the linking word. It seems natural to shoot for the minimum length of 3 letters for the linking word, if one exists for that particular word pair.
I didn’t come even close to solving this one!
Congrats to those who found it.
OA finally, after stubbornly and blindly refusing to give up on barware, expertize …
Got as far as Betwixt and Trapeze (and several others) but nothing clicked. So a triplet: WAISTS-SUBTEXT-TRAPEZE. No TI whatsoever, even the most tortured.
A bit tortured, but still . . .
SUBTEXT of the TRAPEZE ARTIST’S RULES OF SAFETY
With partner sailing through the air
To grab her waist is quite the dare.
Though not overt
It’s still a flirt.
So don’t, to keep this fine art fair.
Similar here!
WITS-SUBTEXT-TRAPEZE
Fantastic answer today. Fiendish to solve! I also found SUBSTRATA, ERSATZ and PIXIE.
Ersstz Brothers Coffee! It’s got Zest Appeal!
Pleasantly surprised to have found the OA within a few minutes.
Nope.
Found ersatz, subtexts
bursitis, bauxite, waiters, baiters, but the OA eluded me.
I gave up after BASTERS BURSTERS WARPERS WASTERS WURSTS STRAW
yikes! I got there, finally, but yowza.
OA … painful to find!
Settled for a threebie: ZIPS-SUBTEXT-TAPWATER
OA finally. Hard to give up on SUBPART, EXPERTIZE, TRAPEZIA (although that did eventually lead me to the OA).
I couldn’t get my head in the game today, but then finally found the OA and realized that my head had been right there all along.
What the heck!
OA today
betwixt – trapezius
Tortuous to solve, but once I found betwixt, I saw trapeze (which I had worked with for awhile ). Knew then the second word had to be trapeze with a weird suffix. OA here.
There surely can’t be another OA here. This was a nasty one. Hats off to the finders!
