VINYLSSTOMACH

Likewise. And a satisfying solve.
VINYLS – STOMACH…
Microplastics are everywhere these days.
And who knows what belly button lint becomes if left long enough.
Great material as always, Mvua!
I got sidetracked by Lavish(ly) and Slavishly, for the deeply unsatisfying Monistical Lavishly and Monocots Slavishly. TI remains elusive.
VINYLS – STOMACH
Tummy turning.
Spin digestion.
These are great 👍
OA. I took a detour with Vacation, mystical, but vinyl was so obvious after I found it, ha!
VACATIONIST — THYMOL
I didn’t even see VINYL
Saw Vinyl but never thought to stick an S on it.
Same here
Vacationist – Thymol
Also was so close with
Vacationists – Schismatical
(No Y)
I was stuck on Mystical, Mysticism, Violation first.
Got this as well … Can’t believe I didn’t see VINYL before seeing:
MACHINIST, SHALOM, MYSTIC(AL), YACHT, SYNTH, VIOLATION, etc
I had VACATIONIST – THYMOL also. I also had CALVINISM* – MONTHLY.
Took me forever, and so many words I couldn’t pair: CHAMOIS, VIOLATION, MACHISMO, CATACLYSMS, MOTIVATION, SCHISMATIC, MACHINIST, SLAVISHLY, ISOLATIONISM, MYSTICAL
Monistical
Lavishly
Excellent words!
MONOCOTS–SLAVISHLY
Same here after trying all sorts of variations using MYSTIC as the root.
MONOCOTS (no idea but it let me have it!) SLAVISHLY.
Slavishly is lovely. Couldn’t find a pair for it, though – sticking an S on the end of monotonic or amniotic doesn’t work 🙂
Another Monocots Slavishly. Grasslands forever!
Also Claymation wih Chavs, but no way to link. Still sore about that 🙁
Same here. Tried Monocats first. A type of boat. Kudos.
OA
Oa
That took me a ridiculous amount of time, completely blind to the obvious.
I got the same a Lousia and also had to look up Monocot definition 🧐 . Same as JJ though I was trying to add S to monotonic for slavishly, and even an AL for Lavishly 😆
VINYLS
STOMACH
Better than yesterday. Got STOMACH first and then VINYL was staring in the face!
Bingo!
MONTHS – SYLVATIC here after coming up with CLAYMATION without a match. Anyone?
Same.
MONTHS—SYLVATIC
The closest I could get is SHIVAISTIC—CLAYMATION
It’s not accepted by LB, and it’s not in OED, but SHIVASISM is.
OA
MONISTICAL LAVISHLY
I got the same. 🙂
Monistical Lavishly
Same
months – sylvatic
CHLAMYS / SOLVATION Took way too long. Never saw vinyl… Hilarious!
NONMYSTICAL* LAVISH
Couldn’t find a 2. My solution was CLAYMATION NITS SHIV.
Oh I intended to try Claymation but got sidetracked and forgot… made up 2w’s ha, to go with MONTHLY, e.g. “CAVISM” or “VACATIONISM” … settled for 3w’s too… longer one with TI: VISITS SCHISMATIC COLONY (or bit shorter with VIS as 1st w). My other 3w ones: ATAVISTIC CLAM MONTHLY, and SCHISM MOTIVATION NYLON.
ONLY — YACHTS — SHIVA — ATOM
vacationist – thymol
Second strikeout in a row. I blame Ezersky for yesterday’s GLOXINIA debacle, but I whiffed it today. Had VINYLS, but didn’t see STOMACH (as soon as I looked up the solution I jumped back to the puzzle and it looks so obvious in hindsight! 🤦♂️).
Then again, after yesterday’s failure, I was not going to keep noodling on what could be another obscure singular solution all afternoon, so I gave up a bit prematurely — so in a way I blame Ezersky for today too! 😝
These puzzles really need some kind of warning when it’s a GLOXINIA day — maybe a devil emoji next to title or something. 😈
Agreed. I was thinking the same thing, but kept plugging. Had about 50 words on my tracking sheet before seeing Vinyl(s). Paired it quickly. But hours of my life I’ll never get back. Still mad about yesterday.
Same!

TI: the drudgery of a botanist’s workday
Very disappointed that LB didn’t accept conclavists nor hymnists
