Same, and within one minute. First thought LUMPFISH, but that wouldn’t work in the grid, so I tried LUMPISH, and then saw BIFOCAL would work.

There’s no shortage of phobias.

Ironically I had APLOMB right out of the gate but didn’t see the match. Quickly moved onto BIFOCALS – SCHLUMP and threw in BIFOCAL – LUMPISH for an extra!

Picturing when one’s glasses slide down to the tip of the nose.
FUCHSIA – APLOMB.
Took me relatively longer to find my first word with today’s array. I started with BASHFUL. Word ending in B is difficult but oddly I tried to find it first. APLOMB came after 2 minutes. Then FUCHSIA spelled itself slowly for me after another 2 minutes. This was a very satisfying solve.
Bifocals schlump
FLUMPS — SCOPOPHOBIA
Went down the -PHOBIA path and got PHOBIA, PHOBIAS, HOMOPHOBIA, OCHLOPHOBIA, and SCOPOPHOBIA. Guessed at words using the remainders until FLUMPS was accepted. I had never heard of it before today. Also found LUMPISH, COALFISH, BASHFUL, etc., but couldn’t pair any of them.
Bifocal lumpish
Nice!
