The answers are:
CATSUPPHYSIOLOGY
CATCHUP – PHYSIOLOGY
even longer: PHYSIOLOGISTS-SCAPULA
I wondered (for a very little while) if there was a match for SCAPULA. Well done!
I finally found this and it’s my first 20/2!
Had to go through a lot of scientific/medical words and their variants.
The following I found can end with -Y, -IST, or -ISTS:
1. APOLOGY
2. HISTOLOGY
3. PHILOSOPHY
4. PHYSIOLOGY
Also found PAPALIST(S), CAPITALIST(S), LOYALIST(S), PUGILIST(S), and SOPHIST(S).
Bonus: SCOLIOSIS

CAPITOLS – SLOUGHY, mudslinging bound to happen.
COPITAS-SLOUGHY
UPLIGHTS – SCATOLOGY…
Colonoscopy!?!
This is fabulous!!
This was mine, too. However, I couldn’t find a theme there . . .
CATCHUP-PHYSIOLOGY for me.
HYPOCAUSTS – SLIGHT
No way! I’ve been wanting to use Hypocaust for the longest time, and I completely overlooked it. UGH!
(But good for you, Steve 🙂 )
HYPOCAUSTS SIGIL shaves a letter. I wanted to use HYPOCAUSTS SLIG, but that comes from reading too many Dune books.
I got the OA in less than no time. The two previous days I’d just fully failed.
I got so excited I didn’t even look at all the other potential words or solutions before I came over here to tell somebody, anybody, that I’m actually good at this game, and the two days were the aberration.
OA for me after failing for most of the week.
Same here. I hadn’t solved in 2 words for days, and when I do solve, it sometimes takes me an hour. Today it took less than 5 minutes 🙂
Catchlights Soupy, for the photogs out there with foggy lenses.
Not exactly efficient but I’m takiing it. Why? Because I’m still sore about CHIPOLATAS going nowhere 🙁
Chipolata Agush with a dangling Y is as close as I got.
CATSUP – PHILOLOGY, which has some lovely TI, in my opinion.
Clough – Hypostasis
Regular ole OA. On the bright side, it popped up quickly.
CAPITALS SLOUGHY
Provocation Network
for 10/30
Playact Toughish
Here’s looking at you, Bogie.
postcoital – laughy
Haha, Robin!
CAPTIOUS / SLOUGHY
I saw physiology/ physiologist early but couldn’t find a match
I settled for pistachios sloughy
catchup / physiologist
catsup / physiologist
physiologists / scapula
scaup / physiologist
SCAUP PHYSIOLOGIST
Scaup was a guess. I looked it up after and its a duck.
PHYCOLOGIST TAUT
A very short story about three characters.
Taut, Tact, and Topo.
👨⚕️ 👩⚕️ 👨🏫
TAUT, the PHYCOLOGIST—TAUTOLOGIST, and TACT, the PHYSIOLOGIST—TACTUAL, saw the CAPITOLS—SLOUGHY.
They saw the members starting to PLAYACT—TOUGHISH, while ignoring the GLITCH—HYPOCAUST.
They knew they needed to call upon TOPO, the HYPOCAUST—TOPOLOGIST, from the LIGHTSHIP—POPULACY, who would wildly wield GOLIATH’S—SCYPHUS.
CLOUGH-HYPOSTASIS
I didn’t even know CLOUGH was a word. Need to look up its definition now.

PROVOCATION NETWORK
Couldn’t play for the last two days – technical issues with the site – but should be back in business tomorrow, Halloween. Missed the fun, but it’s amazing how much time it saves….
I’ll be on the lookout for Ghoulies and Ghosties and other holiday themes in the OA tomorrow.
