The answers are:
TRIUMVIRATEEXILING
MULTILANE – EXTRAVAGANT
Almost immediately. I expect there will be lots of possible 2 word solutions since there is the potential to use “multi”, “ment”, and “ing” for words.
Not to mention “un”, “ex” and “er.
MULTIGENE EXTRAVAGANT. whatever works I guess
MULTILANE – EXTRAVAGANT…
The roads it took to find this answer.
Many roads here, too, including a wild guess for MULIE-EXTRAVAGANT.
MULTILANE — EXTRAVAGANT too. For a second there it looked liked I wouldn’t get something to go with ‘extravagant’! Phew!
Mulie and extravagant for me as well!
More Mulie Extravagant here (vottever dot means). Also Exigent Triumviral, perhaps in the run-up to a good bout of Exiling, and Triumvirate Exalting / Exulting, perhaps in the aftermath.

Same multilane-extravagant.
MULTIRANGE* – EXTRAVAGANT
also, EIGENVALUE–EXTREME
Also
INTEGRAL – LIXIVIUM
REGENTAL – LIXIVIUM
Multigene Extravagant also. Far from efficient but that’s life!
Life indeed, in its multigenetic abundance!
MULGA-ANTIVAXER.
mulga being one of those unsatisfying words one plays with and it’s accepted
Cool. And ‘Antivaxer’ is a word!
MULGA – ANTIVAXER for me too. Definitely trial and error, but happily accepted, considering the OA. 🙄
Looked forever for a match with EXTRAVAGANT, especially with MULTI- so obviously left over, but just couldn’t close the deal. Kudos to those who found a solution, as well as VIGILANTE solvers, another one I was stuck on forever!
VIGILANTE -EXTREMUM
TRIUMVIRATE – EXULTING
With OA, empires rise and empires fall.
VIGILANTE-EXTREMUM
Vigilante extremum
Oh, excellent! Was looking for the pair for VIGILANTE.
Vigilant Trumeaux New word for me.
looking at these answers, I’m happy to have tapped out.
Me too! 😂
mulie – extravagant
Same here
EXTRAVAGANT – TRIUMVIRAL
OA here, and amazed I got it without too much mucking about. 😄
Same here!
I typically wake up to discover that someone has already reported my solution, but, to quote Aragorn, “It is not this day!” MULTILINE – EXTRAVAGANT. Yes, I know; small difference.

DW, thanks for this EXTRAVAGANT TRIUMVIRAL:
Merlin, (White breasted) Nigrita, (Summer) Tanger
“Lady hawks” of olden time,
White of breast in humid clime,
Purest red, summer’s sublime.
Love it! A more satisfying meter than haiku, too, IMHO.
Ugh, typo–
Tanager!
So funny that this was my same experience except of course the crushing reveal here near the bottom that someone had already found my variation. Was doubly disappointed that “multiextravagant“ is not a thing. I certainly have known a few people i might have described that way
Ultraextravagant is surely a thing, but also rejected.
I also tried those two words ULTRAEXTRAVAGANT and MULTIEXTRAVAGANT, to no avail.

EXIGENT-TRIUMVIRAL (17/2)
My 9th grade vocab books have finally come in handy!
MULTILINE-EXTRAVAGANT
Buying too much insurance, perhaps?
Another Mulie-Extravagant
I found ANTIVAXER / RAG / GLUM
VULGAR REMNANT TIX
I’d pay money to see the vulgar remnant.
Love it! A more satisfying meter than haiku, too, IMHO.
Got EXILING but no 2w answer, lots of 3w’ers, and many good words missing one letter for 2w. VALUE EMERGENT TIX, VINTAGE EXULT TERM, AXE EMULATE ENGRAVING, VALUATE EXILING GERM, etc.

Super annoyed I didn’t see MULTI- as a possibility as I got EXTRAVAGANT early and was flummoxed with the remaining letters.
