Likewise
I got WIZARDS SOULING both valid words.
Good work! Now do Lizards!
I have only popular favorites Downsizing Gradual / Granular. Pretty much the opposite of DOGE’s approach.
Same, with a voice like magic.
WIZARDS SOULING
almost faster than a speeding bullet.
Same here, but offer a play off Downsizing-Gradual: the charcoal needed to neutralize Musk.
WIZARDS SOULING
yes, or a flashing sword…who was that masked man?
Wizards souling
WIZARDS-SOULING for me too… didn’t know “souling” was a word!

WIZARDS-SOULING
WOUNDS-SOLARIZING
taking an island vacation after a breakup 🏖
same
Unwinds-solarizing
UNWINDS – SOLARIZING for me too. Had DOWNSIZING, but didn’t see GRADUAL/GRANULAR. Look so obvious in hindsight…
Same! It took a bit, tried starting with ‘solarizing’, then realised.
Same. WOUNDS SOLARIZING
👍
Meant for Steph. 😊
Same. Solarizing is acceptable but wizarding is not? Pffft
Right???
Forgetting Sarah Marshall, yah?
Windows Singularizing
OA
Same. When I found DOWNSIZING, it took me so long to find GRADUAL. But first I had to resort to many made up words for the leftovers RAUL which kinda frustrated me for a while.
After trying DOWNGRADING, I shifted to DOWNSIZING and GRADUAL came easily.
DOWNSIZING—GRADUAL
WIDOWS—SINGULARIZING
WOUNDS—SOLARIZING
RUNDOWNS—SOLARIZING
DRAWINGS—SOULZ°
DOWNLOADS—SINGULARIZING
DOWNLOWS—SINGULARIZING
Wizards Souling
WIZARDS-SOULING here too (I didn’t consider soul as a verb , but stumbled on it).
Me too. Wizards-souling. Surprised that souling was accepted, I just was working with the leftover letters and thought “what the heck, I’ll try it”.
DOWNSIZING—GRANULAR
DOWNSIZING – GRADUAL
Not if you’re the first to go.
🙃 Timely.
Stumbled onto downsizing-gular and learned a new word.
Yep, wishful thinking 😎
I wanted to do a
DOWNSIZING GUARDRAIL but can’t with today’s puzzle.
But did find this 3-worder:
LIZARDS SNUG GLOW
😎🐝🇺🇸
SINGULARIZING — GODOWN
Found SINGULAR and then when I saw that I could bury the Z I knew it was going to be a solution. That led me to DOWNSIZING.
DOWNSIZING — GRADUAL
DOWNS — SINGULARIZING
DISOWNS — SINGULARIZING
GODOWNS — SINGULARIZING
I bet that there are a ton of other plurals that work as well. I’m out of here!
Adding to your SINGULARIZING list Bill. Some were OEDs. I did not check elsewhere. Good one on GODOWNS! I missed that one.
DOWNLANDS, DOWNLOADS, DOWNLOWS, DOWNSWINGS, DOWNWARDS, DOWS°, LANDOWNINGS°, RUNDOWNS, SWOUNDS°, WIDOWS, WINDOWS, WOADS°, WOUNDS.
ZOUNDS! That’s a lot!
No w of course
I tried so long to use Zounds! 😟
OA. It’s now a week since I’ve gotten anything but the OA Feeling stupid
i got it but i didnt get the OA. ur not dum
Rundowns salinizing
Yup
WIZARDS – SOULING was my first solution, but I play with the Scrabble word list and SOULING is not on it, so on I went. I had hopes for WIZARDING, but was surprised that neither Scrabble nor LB accepts it (it is in the OED, and, of course, in Harry Potter). I didn’t see a match for it anyway, though. I ultimately settled on DOWNSIZING – GRANULAR.
I knew the word souling from a truly lovely Peter Paul and Mary song. A long time favorite:

WOUNDS – SINGULARIZING
Gradualizing gowns. Real words LB didn’t accept
Slowgoing gradualizing. Again,LB not taking
Widows singularizing. Windows singularizing wounds singularizing. We are having a thunderstorm here, I wonder if ionized air helps in arranging letters?
DOWNSIZING-GULAR (15/2) N
gular
adjective: relating to or situated on the throat of an animal, especially a reptile, fish, or bird.
noun: a plate or scale on the throat of a reptile or fish.
DOWNSIZING – GRANULAR
Ruralizing godowns
wizards souling
Wizards souling, the -ing added out of desperation, and Lo and behold, I’m a “Genius!” Had to google it: “Souling” refers to the historical practice, particularly in the British Isles, where people, especially children, would go door-to-door on All Hallows’ Eve (October 31st) and All Souls’ Day (November 2nd), singing songs and begging for soul cakes in exchange for prayers for the dead.
no drama today?
OA and
WIZ ZOUNDS SNARLING
WIZARDS – SOULING
Non-evil version of Hocus Pocus (the Disney movie)
When you go as Gandelf for Halloween
Is Gandelf a thing, or a typo? If it’s a typo, it’s a pretty clever one with DOWNSIZING and all…
OA.
Whoa — for the second time ever I’ve got a pair no one else seems to have posted: RUNDOWN NASALIZING. I thought it had a good chance of being the OA, but nope …
