VERMOUTH—HIJAB
Same.
Just knew about VERMOUTH from yesterday’s Connection puzzle. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have found it.
VERMOUTH HIJAB.
Found Rivermouth Hijab, but not accepted by LB.
That’s a great find. I think most dictionaries have it as two separate words. 🙁
OA in a minute. I started pairing the “O-U combination with the J, and saw that it might work better with the V and got VERMOUTH in just under a minute. From there I knew that the other word was either HAJIB or HIJAB. Both are real words, but the first was not accepted by LB.
Same here, had to double check whether it was HAJIB or HIJAB after getting VERMOUTH.
Similarly, I started with Mouthier and then realized Vermouth would capture a pesky V. Like you I was left with Hijab/Hajib. Only took a few minutes to sort it out. Now onto other things. 🙂

I struggled with BIJOU, BIJOUTERIE, MAHARAJAH, and TURBOJET (I figured by burying the ‘J’ I would be home free). Found EARTH, but EARTHMOVER wouldn’t work. Finally after seeing MOUTH, I got VERMOUTH and HIJAB was right there. Very tough matrix today.
