MYOPIC / CAUTERIZE
Fast today…
Same, got CAUTERIZE first, then MYOPIC.
Strangely it accepted the typo of MYOPTIC CAUTERIZE as well.
OA today.
Yup!
Easy OA Today 😁
Made a brief stop at EPITOMIZE. But picked off the OA pretty quickly. As a surgeon who wears glasses, if I couldn’t get this one, then I’m not sure I should be playing this.
But – are you myopic, lol?
OA as well. I figured that either the OZY, AZY or IZE combination had to be the way to go.
Same, plus I tried Optimize(r) for a bit.
OA
Quickly… went down the same road as Tom.

Cryptia automize. Cryptia can be a common noun referring to ancient Sparta or a proper noun genus of sea squirts which LB doesn’t accept although it does accept cryptomeria a genus of trees?
Kind of surprised you can’t turn epicritic into epicriticy and use with automize
Uremic – Cryptozoa
OA
OA but visited many “words” before I got there.
Here’s a shout out to PRECAPACITY: The state or condition of an elevator car which does not yet hold twelve full-sized adults.
MYOPIC — CAUTERIZE
Also looked at MICROMETER and PYROMETER but couldn’t connect them.
Cryptozoa automize

AMAZE – EURYTOPIC
Found quickly but must admit to using Merriam Word Finder.
Eurytopic: Able to tolerate wide variations in conditions of the environment.
OA quickly this morning.
Danced all around words that would work as a partial 2-word solution, but I could not connect two that would work together.
Until I found Automize – Eurytopic. It is not the most efficient solve, but I am going to take it and move on with the rest of my day.
Also I liked the variety of solutions that the more agile minds of this group found.
Happy weekend!
ZYMOTIC – CAPTURE
TI: contain the outbreak—find Patient Zero!
I found CAUTERIZE but couldn’t see a pair. I guess I was being too MYOPIC 😂
Tried cauterize first. Then got it
Myopic cauterize
Finally got it in 2!
OA without too much work….. for a change.
OA quickly plus:
MIMOTYPIC* CAUTERIZE
Wanted AUTOCRITICIZE which doesn’t exist or is hyphenated even though AUTOCRITICISM isn’t.
And for three: TURMERIC COZY YAP
