ZOLS – SOUNDTRACK — background music for smoking a spliff?
Good one Kat!
Zols Soundtrack here too. Because I didn’t think of klutz I learned a new word AND discovered stoner music.
Thought about using Soz (LB accepts) as part of a 3 word solution but glad I stuck it out for a 14/2.
OA, yay!
OA. Just knew klutz was going to be part of it, so had to juggle with what was left.
Same here. Klutz jumped out right away, the rest following so quickly, it had to be the OA.
Another OA after giving up on OUZO(S)
Awww, giving up on Ouzo is a sad thought 🙁
😂 Judy!
Same! So wanted OUZOS to work! OA quickly after abandoning that idea
OA, after giving up on Zounds. I’m amazed to see alternate solutions! I really thought this would be a one-off. KUDOS to Kat and Mark!
I completely agree. Finding zounds before klutz was annoying. Once I gave up on zounds and found klutz I thought it was a one hit wonder. The other answers are amazing.
OA here, too, after starting with ZOUNDS. Was ZOUNDS in an answer recently, or did I just find it in another puzzle?
I agree, Goldie – it did sound familiar.
Mr.AgentSmith,
Don’t be frustrated with your Virtual Experience. 😉
OA. It’s always nice to see a Yiddish word in a solution. They are earthily gratifying to say.
🐦 AKALAT, AUK, CARACARA, COUA, COUCAL, DUCK, KAKA, CALANDRA LARK, RASO LARK, SAND LARK, STARK’S LARK, SKUA, SORA, STORK, TOCO TOUCAN 🐦🐦 COCKATOO, COOT
I had KLUTZ instantly and there wasn’t any other option for the Z (for me). I never made it to soundtrack. I was hung up on cardstock not being a word. After being on word builders and word finders forever, I yielded.
I almost got there with cornstalk, but I needed Kudzu for that, and D and Z were same side.
Didn’t see KLUTZ. Ended up with a 3: OUZOS STRANDS SLACK.
Totally missed it. TRACK/S SOUND/S were my first guesses but never thought of SOUNDTRACK, and the only Z word I saw was ORZO. My 4w’er: TRACKS SOUNDS SOLO ORZO.
ZOCALOS – SOUNDTRACK and OA here as well. Have tried using ZOCALO a few times before this – today’s the day! Thanks Kat for a new word!
Really thought I had the OA once I found KLUTZ.
Didn’t see SOUNDTRACK unfortunately and ended with this 3 solve:
ODOR-RANSACK-KLUTZ (16/3)
Maybe a robber that left a mess and some bad BO?
Had Klutz right away, then Zounds, then Cornstalk, then Stockcar… but alas could not pair anything. Love Zocalos!
I only found the OA today.
soundtrack / klutz
There were some 3 word solutions:
crack / klutz / zounds
klutz / zounds / scar
zounds / sorts / slack
soundtracks / solo / ouzo
ouzos / strands / slack
zols – soundtrack
I had another look:
zocalos / soundtrack
zols / soundtracks
soundtrack / klutz
3 word solutions:
cods / snark / klutz
colds / snark / klutz
zounds / stork / kcals
zols / strand / duck
sold / duck / krantz
dorks / snack / klutz
dor / ransack / klutz
nutsos / soundtrack / klutz
Satisfied with the OA today.
Another ZOLS – SOUNDTRACK. Found SOUNDTRACK almost immediately and figured it must be part of the OA. But didn’t know what they wanted from the leftovers. ZOLS was a shot in the dark, but I’ll take it!
