The answers are:
OBVIOUSSTYLIZING
OBVIOUS — STYLIZING
With the Y,V,Z on the same side along with a B, I knew I was in trouble!
I found VIOLINIST, BLITZING, OBLIVIOUSLY, and OBVIOUSLY, but could not connect them. I finally found STYLIZING and has to work backward. It will be interesting to see how many other pairs are found today in this difficult array.
Yeah, this is a very difficult puzzle. And, it made me gave up early.
Hey Bill – similar for me, i looked at Blitzing and Blintz, and then
Obviously/Obliviously but of course couldn’t find a pair.
Then i tried a few words that look Yiddish to me (Touzling, Gintz, etc) but those were rejected by LB.
Then after looking at Styling/Stylizing i realized i could work backwards with Obvious/Oblivious.
My impression is that LB will often make an “LY” or even “ILY” suffix available but also not pairable. And i am very greedy and i want to use up as many letters on the first word i find, i’ll latch onto the suffix and then waste time not finding a pair, like today.
I think
OBVIOUS/OBLIVIOUS STYLIZING will be the only solutions today.

Either way, it’s when AI writes your essay.
OA……or the homes on real estate websites….
🙃 GINZO also LB accepted. With OBVIOUSLY only misses the T
Yup
That’s exactly my MO as well. I always want to use up as many letters as I can. I also tend to fall into the trap of finding long suffixes (-ATION) that result in lots of words but that all have similar leftovers that ultimately can’t connect. Those 9/10 letter words look impressive and I have trouble giving them up!
Saw Obvious(ly)/Oblivious right off the jump. It took literal hours after that before I saw Stylizing. There were really not many words available with this array of letters. It’s pretty frustrating until I finally end of the two day losing streak. One interesting thing is that while LB is generally pretty liberal in terms of Yiddish words, YUTZ is not accepted.

OBVIOUS – STYLIZING
Now that you mention it.
STYLIZING was the key. Everything else was obvs, as the kids say.
I tried BLITZING, found OBVIOUSLY, then figured dropping the LY would leave me with an S for starting second word. Bingo! OA
Stumped for the fourth day in a row.
I found STYLIZING but I was OBLIVIOUS to the OBVIOUS second word. I had to settle for a 4 word solution.
Better luck tomorrow.
Found myself with blitzing and was so enamored with it couldn’t get myself to move past it
Same with Blitzing, and also Blintz, but Stylizing quickly came to the rescue, and than Obvious / Oblivious Stylizing (Ru Paul, Madonna). I doubt there are other solutions.
Oa, took me a while.
OA
After finding stylizing, obvious was obvious.
agree
Good morning.
It looks like there’s only two pairs, but we’ll see later today:
OBVIOUS—STYLIZING
OBLIVIOUS—STYLIZING
Some anagrams (unchecked):
OUSTING ≜ OUTINGS ≜ OUTSING ≜ TOUSING
LISTING ≜ SLITING ≜ TILINGS
SITOLOGY ≜ TSIOLOGY
UNYOUNG ≜ YOUNGUN
GOUSTY ≜ GUYOTS
Some palindromes (unchecked):
STOTS
SULUS
ULULU
OBLIVIOUS / STYLIZING
Saw OBVIOUS and didn’t put it together…duh!
Really wanted SLIVOVITZ to work…
Me too! I thought SLIVOVITZ would be the key.
I toyed with Zlotys for quite a while!
oblivious – stylizing
Me too!
Would’ve been so OBVIOUS if I had paused to look for a more efficient word before submitting (an) OBLIVIOUS-STYLIZING
🙂
oa took a while. Wanted to do something with izing saw stylus,led to stylizing. Then the solve was obvious.or I could’ve been oblivious
Blitzing was inviting but alas unloving
Obvious stylizing – sounds like one of the Kardashians
I was oblivious of stylizing so completed in 3
OBVIOUS. SIZING. GUSTILY
I knew that ____ZING was the key to the solve, but never found STYLIZING and had to tap out.
Feel dumb that I didn’t see STYLIZING.
Submitted BOGUS SLIVOVITZ ZINGY
Say, what’s in this drink?
VIOLINIST/S got me nowhere. Found OBVIOUSLY but somehow didn’t think to try OBVIOUS. Missed STYLIZING, found other -ings including SIZING. Found two 3w’s: ZITO OBVIOUSLY YOUNG, and OBVIOUSLY YOGINIS SITZ, which might have TI (Thematic Integrity) of sorts. Yoga practitioners soak in a bath afterwards?
BOZO OBLIVIOUS STINGY
Fiddled with Obviously forever but never saw stylizing. Obviously.
Here is the full list. No Scrabble words today
** Don’t look at the list if you haven’t finished solving the puzzle **
(The first number is a count and the second number is the number of letters used)
1 – 18 oblivious / stylizing
2 – 16 obvious / stylizing
