The answers are:
HIJACKERROGUISH
Quick one today. I put them in the opposite order:
ROGUISH – HIJACKER
Hijacker Rouges
Hijacker Rigorous
Same.
This one makes so much more sense!
That was supposed to be apropos of Jill’s solution.
The best solutions are the ones that read both ways.
Similar HIJACKER-ROUGES
Same here. For a moment, I thought a JAGUARundi was about to rear its head again, and CHOKIES was another that I looked into, right before I came up with the solution. Fairly quick today…
As for the official solution, I acknowledge its thematic superiority which would be reinforced if the words were placed in reverse order.
…which I overlooked Jill was quick to spot & execute 😉

An obscure beast with a lasting legacy of puzzler trauma…
Laughed my head off, Bernie; thanks for that!
I am still in therapy.
Hijacker Rouges here as well. I suppose one of them might, as a form of disguise. I admit Roguish is better, both thematically and reciprocally. Sad that I didn’t spot it…
In a brief post-mortem, I also had the chance to try out HEJIRA which, contrary to HEGIRA, was not accepted; get your grammar right, Joni Mitchell.
highjacker rouges
CARJACKER – ROGUISH
Some other hijackers include:
HIJACKER—RUGOSE
HIJACKER—RUGOSA
HIJACKER—RAGEOUS
Unpairable words for me:
CRACKERJACK
COURAGEOUS
SURCHARGE
GASHOUSE
HIJACKER – RAGEOUS. Which also works thematically.
I was mildly disappointed that I could do nothing with CRACKHOUSE.
hijacker – rouges
Same
Highjacker Roguish
Really tried to make SHOCKJOCK work but rageous shockjock kick was as close as I got
Thinking of Alex Jones—-AUGURIES SHOCKJOCK.
Play it again, Sam; great shout!
HIJACKER ROUGES came to me pretty soon, but now I see ROGUES would have been better! I had hoped Juicier, or Courage/ous, might work but led me nowhere.
ROGUES is not on, due to U & E being on the same side of the box.
HIJACKER ROUGES here too and not many interesting failed attempts, except:
JOCKISH HUGER (A) and some solo words:
GARISH
JOSHES
JURIS
RACKIES
RAKISH
REJIGS
ROCKISH
From Yesterday’s one: did anyone else find themselves becoming mildly livid when SYNDICATE / SYNDICATION was unworkable? I was so sure I found the solution! Only three letters left.
Also thought WAYSTATIONS SIZE (C, D)
COZIES STOWAWAY (N, D)
ACIDIZES STONY (W)
…were maybe on the right track, but nope!
I, for one, did…
I didn’t notice Syndicate or Syndication, but I share your outrage that it wasn’t accepted! How is that possible? Even Siri (as I call the dictation feature) recognizes it, and that idiot barely understands anything I say!
It was accepted, Bernie. It’s just that it left over the awkward W, O, & Z you could hardly work anything out with…
CARJACKER – ROGUISH. I was so busy carjack-ing, I never got around to highjack-ing. Roguish specialization. 😂
