ADONIZING – GARLICKY
ODORIZING—GARLICKY
🧄🧄🧄
I suspect Garlicky is essential today, and there’s nothing available starting with Y, so we have Adonizing, Anodizing, Dozing, Idolizing, Iodizing, Nodalizing, and Odorizing as the possible lead-ins, with Odorizing the clear winner for TI.
Not many good Y words, but a couple…
Yanking
Yarding
Oh, you meant to solve with Y, my bad
Alkaloidal-lyricizing
Not garlicky.
Um… lyriczing is not a word
Wanted Analyzing to work…but couldn’t do it
I wanted it to be dialyzing after it couldn’t be analyzing.
Took my forever, but I got there.
Strange that GARLICKY has a ‘K’ but GARLIC doesn’t. Perhaps not.
Couldn’t find the 2: DOZING GLAZING GROK
ANODIZING – GARLICKY
OA
What’s TI?
OA.
In a food coma with mouth open

Made the fatal mistake of coming here first today instead of the game, ugh 🤦🏼♀️
Well at least you spared yourself some precious time not being able to come up with garlicky. Ugh. Why no gorgonzola is it necessarily capitalized. And could something be gorgonzolay
I don’t know why no GORGONZOLA. That one surprised me.
Also found it strange that LB accepted YOICK and YOIK but not YOINK. Have I been saying it wrong all these years?
OA after struggling with ORGANIZING and ANALYZING. Funny thing is that DOZING was the first word I tried but thought that it didn’t use enough letters.
I also had hopes for ANALYZING or ORGANIZING. Only got 4w’s and this 3w: LICKING GONZO ORDINARY (or ORDINARILY) … never saw Dozing, not sure I would have spotted Garlicky.
I had to give up and solve in three today. A little miffed because I had ZONING and even figured that the second word had to end in ICKY. But I just wasn’t seeing GARLICKY. 😩
Today was AGONIZINGLY (couldn’t match it) challenging. Best I could do: CRAZILY-YOKING-GOD. Kudos to those who solved in 2!
You did very well! I got Crazily and had God in some of my 4w answers, didn’t try Yoking somehow… I prefer your 3w to mine (LICKING GONZO ORDINARILY – or ORDINARY, fewer letters)
my first try was
CRAZILY YAK KING GOD
eventually I found a two worder, but not as efficient as the OA.
CRAZILY / YANKING / GOD
DOG / GAZING / GARLICKY
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I couldn’t get the two-word answer, but when I came up with CRAZILY/YANKING/GOD, I was satisfied. LOL
I couldn’t get Gorgonzola out of my head. I can still smell it.
😆
Lots of good words but nope, no cigar. 😄
Me too.
I was able to do
IDOLIZING-GARLICKY
but it took me quite a few tries 🙂
OA, after giving up on finding any compound -CRAZY words. 🤷♂️
So excited about ANALYZING-GRIDLOCK— until I found layout wouldn’t allow the -lock part. ☹️ “Garlicky” was never in my radar.
RICKYARD – DIAGONALIZING (the latter word isn’t accepted by LB or Scrabble, but I’ve seen less plausible words in both places). I offer it here for the sake of ‘follow-through,’ if not conversation.
