OA… rusty lawn ornaments.
Lol! Same solution and same TI!
Maximizing Golfed
Me tooooo!
Ditto
Same, MAXIMIZING – GOLFED (saw it immediately for a change with the -ZING ending)…kinda surprised it wasn’t the OA!
Same here. I was pretty sure that the solve would come from either the root of MAXIMIZE or OXIDIZE. Turns out that both would work. I never did find FLAMINGO. I found MANGO but couldn’t clear the F.
I never found flamingo or mango which is incredulous considering I’m sitting here in Florida. I did see golf, golfed & golfing right away 😅
Same and without much struggle.
OA as well after playing with… Exiling, Agonized/Agonizing, Maximizing, Manifold.
Alternate solution in a world where an apostrophe is accepted 😂
Fold’em – Maximizing.
MAXIMIZING-GOLFED. Pretty quickly. I find that Maximize and variants are often available in the X/Z puzzles.

I thought maximizing golfed but don’t like golfed. Maximise and enfold much nicer…a warm embrace to start the day.
Maximize enfolding of course!
maximizing-golfed
Because the LB included an x and a z it looked like it would be more difficult than it was. However, because -ing and -ed were playable there were a lot of options.
Maximizing golfed. Easiest in a week phew
Maximize Enfolding
Maximizing – golfed. Didn’t know ‘golfed’ was an actual word.
US President Turnip “golfed” while the entire world economy suffered due to his Liberation Day tariff antics!
Maximizing – Golfed
OA, but it is absolutely unconscionable that well-established words like enflame/ing/ed and doxologize were ‘not in the word list’.
NYT getting dumber by the minute.

Good ones!
Another good word list!
Maximizing golfed.first try,seconds
Oxidizing gelfoam. LB doesn’t accept gelfoam ; thought it a word but maybe a proper noun, a brand name like kleenex
Retirement looming. Another Maximizing Golfed.
Had hoped for Flaxen Nondemonizing. But alas, nondemonizing is not a word, outside of my head!
Maximizing/Golfed
Maximize enfolding
Maximizing + golfed but also flexagon + nominalizing
FLEXAGON-NOMINALIZED
Another MAXIMIZING GOLFED. A relief, since I tend to get thrown off by words that use the same letters more than once.
MAXIMIZING GOLFED
And FLAMEN NONOXIDIZING* (MW)
Also FLAXED* DEMONIZING
*OED archaic.
Really hoped to use DEFEMINIZING
MAXIMIZING – GOLFED also.

Oxidize was the first word I typed in, but flamingo didn’t saunter by to complete it.
