As Easy As ... / ABC

OCD? - Behavioural disorder / Mathematical process (3)
ACE - Playing card / Doctor Who companion (3)
BEG - Nikola Tesla Airport / Tony Todd movie (3)
CHIN - Lucy Liu role / Facial feature (4)
VIOLA - Very early web browser / Stringed instrument (5)
STALL? - To stun / Place for trading (5)
BELLOW - Roar like an animal / Nobel Literature Prize winner (6)

[Thok]

ADD is clearly behaviorial disorder/mathematical process

Either Cello or Viola would work for early web browser.

Floor could work for stun/place for trading.

[DejMar]

The answers for As Easy As...ABC are most likely: ...

ADD - Behavioural disorder / Mathematical process (3)
ACE - Playing card / Doctor Who companion (3)
BEG - Nikola Tesla Airport / Tony Todd movie (3)
CHIN - Lucy Liu role / Facial feature (4)
CELLO - Very early web browser / Stringed instrument (5)
FLOOR - To stun / Place for trading (5)
BELLOW - Roar like an animal / Nobel Literature Prize winner (6)

Each of the words' letters are in alphabetical order within each word.
VIOLA is valid for the clues for 'Very early web browser / Stringed instrument, yet the letters in VIOLA are not in alphabetical order.

(No claim is made to any discovery here, but for property hinted in ABC.)

[Return of the Quickies]

And the answer is simply wronged - the last letters in reverse order

-- Oscar

[Scurra]

...which has the letters in reverse alphabetical order.

Probably would have been a better puzzle if I'd figured out a way to use both sets of clues to begin with. I couldn't work out how to flag up a sort order though, since the words weren't perfectly alphabetical - which would probably be the easiest and most elegant fix...

How is add a mathematical process? Wouldn't that be adding?

The thing that leapt out at me looking at the puzzle is that the title ... is clueing the first five books of the bible. Probably chapter:verse is the meaning of the numbers, but I haven't looked them up.

So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.

And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.

Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner. (Nehemiah)

Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified

And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment

Call in REMEDIAL

[Suspence]

Almost there.

REMEDIAL fits the pattern for JEREMIAH, as novice pointed out earlier.

Nicely done. VENETIAN actually only worked with NEHEMIAH, as the words remained cryptograms. Consonants shifted, but vowels did not.

Intended to be a true quickie. Here's hoping it is:

What Language?

食物
Rolar
Gripe
Iep

Hmmm. People who are writing "quickies" but are using CiSRA as an excuse for not writing their Top GL'er puzzle should be disqualified from both.

What Language?

食物 - Chinese Food
Rolar - Spanish/Portuguese Roll
Gripe - Spanish Influenza
Iep - Dutch Elm
Schäfer - German Shepherd

Initials read FRIES -> The language is FRENCH.

[Return of the Quickies]

This one should be even quicker.

Rather more than is usually likely of words with three letters which are also consecutive in the alphabet. I'm not sure what to do next, however.

Lots of these have X&Y answers

R&R R (Rest & Relaxation)
R&D D
B&E E (Breaking and Entering)
R&B R
S&P S

Letters gotten by using the picture to pick a letter. But Hoarders doesn't work as the password.

[Suspence]

One last connection to make.

Hoarders airs on A&E.

The password was a&e (even though it's not supposed to contain punctuation).

THIS PUZZLE IS A PAIN IN THE…

Be sure to follow directions

SCABBARD - Sword sheath
ONCOLOGY - Study of cancer
FLEXIBLY - In a pliable way
OBSTACLE - Hindrance or disadvantage
WHIP - Indy's accessory
SAYING - Aphorism
VIRTUOSI - Musical masters
MAGICIAN - Practicer of prestidigitation

Too many options though for each word, need to spot a pattern before narrowing it down. Scabbard and Whip seem pretty likely, so maybe all words should start with S,W,N or E.
