OA immediately.
OA pretty quick here too, after thinking there might have been a Y in there somewhere in OXIDIZE.
OA after a brief biology major flirtation with ‘epicalyx’, lol. But OXIDIZE was haunting me because it eliminates X and Z in one fell swoop. Paid off.
Epicalyx is impressive. Had Calyx but couldn’t do much with it. Oxidize was the first word I saw, but it was a long time before I saw Calypso. Thought I’d be able to pair Dialyzes, but could not.
OA today
OA, too
Oa
OA. Took awhile to see calypso. Oxidize immediately
OXIDIZE is the first word I saw but somehow can’t finish it. Saw CALYX but not CALYPSO. Thought in passing that the connector is ‘O’.
Only 1/2 way with oxidize also…
CALYPSO – OXIDIZE
Can’t leap with a rusty attitude.
When your steel drum is a bit rusty?
OA pretty quickly (it’s never “immediate” for me, lol). Stuck for a bit on trying to start with OXIDIZE(S).

Please excuse duplication there.
Anyone succeed with ZODIAC or CALYX?
Now I don’t feel so dumb for trying to shoehorn a Y into OXIDIZE somewhere.
👌🏻 another fun Y word is XYLOID.
OA.
I had EPOXIDIZES SCALY too . Had OXIDIZES and knew it had to be in the O A but couldn’t see CALYPSO
Reminds me that brilliant Simpsons episode where Homer is playing scrabble and “can’t make a single word out of these stupid letters” … sitting on the rack is
O X I D I Z E bhahaha
Oxidizes scalpy(OED) tried epoxidizes much earlier but did not think to check OED or could have saved a lot of effort. Saw calyx not calypso. Peopleize interestingly was accepted
