The answers are:
OBVIOUSSTYLIZING
OBVIOUS — STYLIZING
With the Y,V,Z on the same side along with a B, I knew I was in trouble!
I found VIOLINIST, BLITZING, OBLIVIOUSLY, and OBVIOUSLY, but could not connect them. I finally found STYLIZING and has to work backward. It will be interesting to see how many other pairs are found today in this difficult array.
Yeah, this is a very difficult puzzle. And, it made me gave up early.
Hey Bill – similar for me, i looked at Blitzing and Blintz, and then
Obviously/Obliviously but of course couldn’t find a pair.
Then i tried a few words that look Yiddish to me (Touzling, Gintz, etc) but those were rejected by LB.
Then after looking at Styling/Stylizing i realized i could work backwards with Obvious/Oblivious.
My impression is that LB will often make an “LY” or even “ILY” suffix available but also not pairable. And i am very greedy and i want to use up as many letters on the first word i find, i’ll latch onto the suffix and then waste time not finding a pair, like today.
I think
OBVIOUS/OBLIVIOUS STYLIZING will be the only solutions today.

Either way, it’s when AI writes your essay.
OA……or the homes on real estate websites….
🙃 GINZO also LB accepted. With OBVIOUSLY only misses the T
Yup
That’s exactly my MO as well. I always want to use up as many letters as I can. I also tend to fall into the trap of finding long suffixes (-ATION) that result in lots of words but that all have similar leftovers that ultimately can’t connect. Those 9/10 letter words look impressive and I have trouble giving them up!
Saw Obvious(ly)/Oblivious right off the jump. It took literal hours after that before I saw Stylizing. There were really not many words available with this array of letters. It’s pretty frustrating until I finally end of the two day losing streak. One interesting thing is that while LB is generally pretty liberal in terms of Yiddish words, YUTZ is not accepted.

OBVIOUS – STYLIZING
Now that you mention it.
STYLIZING was the key. Everything else was obvs, as the kids say.
I tried BLITZING, found OBVIOUSLY, then figured dropping the LY would leave me with an S for starting second word. Bingo! OA
Stumped for the fourth day in a row.
I found STYLIZING but I was OBLIVIOUS to the OBVIOUS second word. I had to settle for a 4 word solution.
Better luck tomorrow.
Found myself with blitzing and was so enamored with it couldn’t get myself to move past it
Oa, took me a while.
OA
After finding stylizing, obvious was obvious.
agree
Good morning.
It looks like there’s only two pairs, but we’ll see later today:
OBVIOUS—STYLIZING
OBLIVIOUS—STYLIZING
Some anagrams (unchecked):
OUSTING ≜ OUTINGS ≜ OUTSING ≜ TOUSING
LISTING ≜ SLITING ≜ TILINGS
SITOLOGY ≜ TSIOLOGY
UNYOUNG ≜ YOUNGUN
GOUSTY ≜ GUYOTS
Some palindromes (unchecked):
STOTS
SULUS
ULULU
OBLIVIOUS / STYLIZING
Saw OBVIOUS and didn’t put it together…duh!
Really wanted SLIVOVITZ to work…
Me too! I thought SLIVOVITZ would be the key.
oblivious – stylizing
Me too!
Would’ve been so OBVIOUS if I had paused to look for a more efficient word before submitting (an) OBLIVIOUS-STYLIZING
🙂
oa took a while. Wanted to do something with izing saw stylus,led to stylizing. Then the solve was obvious.or I could’ve been oblivious
Blitzing was inviting but alas unloving
Obvious stylizing – sounds like one of the Kardashians
I was oblivious of stylizing so completed in 3
OBVIOUS. SIZING. GUSTILY
I knew that ____ZING was the key to the solve, but never found STYLIZING and had to tap out.
Feel dumb that I didn’t see STYLIZING.
Submitted BOGUS SLIVOVITZ ZINGY
VIOLINIST/S got me nowhere. Found OBVIOUSLY but somehow didn’t think to try OBVIOUS. Missed STYLIZING, found other -ings including SIZING. Found two 3w’s: ZITO OBVIOUSLY YOUNG, and OBVIOUSLY YOGINIS SITZ, which might have TI (Thematic Integrity) of sorts. Yoga practitioners soak in a bath afterwards?
BOZO OBLIVIOUS STINGY
Fiddled with Obviously forever but never saw stylizing. Obviously.
Here is the full list. No Scrabble words today
** Don’t look at the list if you haven’t finished solving the puzzle **
(The first number is a count and the second number is the number of letters used)
1 – 18 oblivious / stylizing
2 – 16 obvious / stylizing
