I KNEW there was one for DROPLIGHT, how did I miss tabouli?!
UPDRAUGHT-TABOULI. Thought this would’ve been easier with all the -GRAPH, PARA-, -OUGH(T), OUT-, options, yet still took quite awhile because I didn’t see DIRTBAG. Thankfully, a number of you had mentioned Tabouli for a puzzle a few days ago, so when I found UPDRAUGHT it was right there for me. Ended up with 110 words on my list before I was done.
Yikes! And I thought my list of 20 was a lot. Good on you for persisting!

Also found HOLOGRAPH, PHOTOBLOG, PHTHALO, PHOTOGRAPH, DIPOLAR, UPLIGHT, DROPLIGHT, DIGRAPH and BAROGRAPH, but failed to connect any of those.
I believe one day GARIBALDI will finally work.
