Kaidoku #73 & Weird Word Properties

Kaidoku #73 (PDF) | Java applet | JPZ (get Crossword Solver)

When I was done writing today’s puzzle, I noticed something unusual – at least nine eight words in it can be broken up to form two smaller words! For an example of what I mean, the word CURSING can be broken into CUR + SING. This was purely accidental today. Weird, right? Or maybe it’s not? Anyway, can you find the words I’m referring to?

Wow, next week we hit three-quarters of a century on this blog! Thanks for sticking with us. Enjoy the puzzle, and see you Monday!

i could only find 8, and that’s counting LAY+ER (or LA+YER?) and MID+YEAR which are pretty cheap.

Whoops, I was counting the uber-cheap PIZZA + ZZ, but it appears ZZ is not a word. Eight it is. And yeah, I was counting the two you mentioned.
