…finally
Stoker-Reverifying here. Not sure If it’s just been a busy few weeks at work and having less time, or that the puzzles have been harder. But this was only the 4th of this months 12 puzzles I’ve solved. Hopefully this starts a good streak.

STOKER – REVERIFYING.
Checking on mah besties Miss Irim and Kanishk-boy later.
Well done, RF!
STOKER-REVERIFYING almost immediately here as well, my lovely. Started with VERIFYING, then thought, hmm, REVERIFYING would give me some leeway at both ends. Saw STOKER almost straightaway (wanted to play with STORK!).
High five, great minds, Kanishk, I hope you’re having a wonderful birthday weekend, kiddo – hope to see you soon!
Good luck, all, and happy Sunday!

FYKES SOVEREIGNTIES
Impressive! OVERFITS-SKYING here. Not words I think I’ve ever used in a sentence, but hey, it’s a win!
Same here.
A quick OA, but when I checked, STIRFRYING is neither a PSW nor in the OED. The mystery of the word list deepens.
Stir frying didn’t occur to me because I think of it as 2 words, so that was a bit of a surprise.

EVOKES-STORIFYING
Fykes & Sovereignty
I saw Sovereignty quite quickly and then had the arduous task of finding a partner word. I did so by experimenting with the remaining letters. The result was Fykes, a word with which I was totally unfamiliar.
Not Sovereignty BUT Sovereignties. So Fykes & Sovereignties
What an ugly solve!
Stoker/stroker reverifying Also tried sovereign but when Ty wouldn’t work , didn’t think to try ies fykes would have been some kind of guess
Hi Bill. My word Fykes was the result of trial and error. Heretofore, it was unknown to me.
Hi Catherine, yes a fun new word! Don’t know if I’ll ever use a fish net trap like that but I’ll remember it. Might drop it in conversation sometime for fun.
Oh, Bill the obscure terminology dropper. LOL
Yes that would be funny, but not as far fetched as you’d think. When I was growing up we had several small ponds, mostly for the cattle, but one we kept stocked with catfish. We usually fished it with poles and earthworms but every few years we’d seine it and have a big fish fry for the extended family. I could see myself telling the kids “back in the day…..”
OVERFITS – SKYING. I didn’t think either of these words were acceptable but there you go!
Back in the day we used large seines and that sure beat using fykes . Haha
