OA immediately – the joy of the Winter Olympics.
Looking forward to seeing my besties, Kanishk and RF, here soon with their solutions!
All the best, everyone, and happy Monday!
Congrats on the fast solve, Irim! I got the OA in about 13, instantly after spotting the -FUL. Before that, I’d only played around with TENFOLD, and I was gutted that I couldn’t use SFORZANDO because there was no A in the grid.
Just checked Alice Liang’s solver, and it looks singular.
Waiting for RF to complete the triumvirate!
OA too in 5 minutes. But, I just invented LUTZES and was so surprised it was accepted. And just like that, the triumvirate is complete. Yay!!!
Same here, had a vague recollection it might have something do do with skiing or skating…
Took me longer than it should have to spot LUTZES. Had gotten hung up on FUTZES/FUTZED. Still took awhile even after seeing WONDERFUL. But done, so all’s well… 119/131, 10/11, 9, 36

Where they pulled off some WONDERFUL LUTZES.
Good limerick!
Love it!
WONDERFUL – LUTZES…
Aw man! More Yiddi… oh, never mind.
Not Yiddish, it’s a skating jump named after Alois Lutz, the Austrian skater who first performed it.
Yeah, but the Axel was named after the lead singer of guns and roses!
I’m reminded that Purina at one time inexplicably made a type of pet food whose only target market was actors with the last name “Mineo”. It was called Sal Chow.
Thanks for the trivia Miss Irim. 😊
A Lutz is a figure skating jump named after the Austrian figure skater, Alois Lutz.
Quick OA today. The years of watching my daughter figure skate paid off.
Wonderful Lutzes
OA after discarding FUTZES.
OA. Got wonderful early then tried zestful undertows zeroed and others before thinking to try Yiddish sounding words. I’d forgotten that it was a figure skating term
Fast OA today
LUTZES…?! Contrived. But what else was left after WONDERFUL?
OA today!
I can thank my mother for all those years of figure skating lessons…not that I was any good.
My initial word was Zestful which I saw immediately but, alas, there was no partner for this lovely word.
You would have to know the word Lutz. No other answer would work.
Wonderful — Lutzes after Zeroed and Zester didn’t work with anything
