Good morning, Jasdip and a Happy Apologies Day to all.

Today the temperature is not supposed to be as high as it’s been the past few days so I’m heading out but will look at this later.

Thanks 🤠

Hmmmmm. . . . . . Looks like a fun one. Will put some time into it later.

6 & 9 still elude me. Thanks Jasdip.

6 to 9 still elude me. :)

One run through and i still need 3, 6, 9, and 10. Will come back to it later. Good ones.

Same as Outside. Those are mystifying me...

Well, I have a stretch for 9. Still trying to figure out what the letters in 6 are made of.

Good morning, all! I have no idea what 6 is - can't even manage a guess. I have iffy guesses for 10 and 12, but pretty sure I have the rest.

#6 is almost impossible to guess. Start with the first letter, then the image at the top, and finish with the rest of the letters.

Jasdip, your hint makes me think the image in #6 isn't what I think it is.

I have 2 guesses for #1, an 'iffy' guess for #6 (maybe 2 iffy guesses), and absolutely no ideas for #10.

With that hint, Jasdip, I ’m getting warmer for 6.

Me too, maybe, but if that's the case, isn't it missing a letter?

ETA: Oooooh, no, I get it now. It isn't missing a letter. But for anyone else struggling, don't use up too much brain power on why the letters are drawn funny, I don't think that has a lot to do with it. Or, on second (third?) thought, maybe it does and it's just depicted poorly. Thanks, Jasdip!

Letters, I don't know why the letters are wiggly like that. I don't see the need.

It could be (maybe....) that it's trying to get us away from the image itself and focus on what the result of the image is, to get us to the correct word?

Ok, i figured out 3 yesterday and now I have 6 (thanks Jasdip for help on that one). I never would have figured it out if not for your clue.

Now to work on 9 and 10.

I thought I had them all until I read the comments about 6! I still like my ”pre-comment” answer. It would be better if the s was in the last position, though.

#1 and #12 there could be some wiggle room on pronunciation 🙂

1 – Pecan nuts

2 – Seasoning

3 – Karaoke (carry ok)

4 – Easel

5 – Horsefly

6 – Shotgun

7 – Discount

8 – Shoplift

9 – Sidekicks

10 – Gum tree

11 -Keep your eyes on the ball

12 – Fortunate

For 9 I had on-side kicks.

For 10 I had Tree Choppers.

I had the rest. Thanks again.

Did not get #6. I had a bunch of guesses. Son of a gun, guns a blazing, hot shot and a bunch of others. 😁 Got the rest with some wiggling.

Thanks, Jasdip

I didn't get side kicks (what is a fly kick?) and gum tree. I was stuck on making an answer out of teeth.

I thought ’Pecan Nuts’ was redundant although I got the answer it didnt make sense.

I was too focused on teeth and not gums also, so my iffy guess was dentistry (tree);

After Jasdip’s hint, I initially thought it was stun gun, hence my comment on the missing letter (t), but then figured it out. I think the funky looking letters might be them melting from the heat of the sun.

Got the rest. Thanks, Jasdip - these were fun!

OP, a fly kick is a martial arts move.

I only got 8 out of the 12. I didn't have much time to spend on the puzzle this time which actually ticked me off! I didn't even get wordle done today.
