This is a wordlog for the SpellBinding puzzle (in which you construct words using the specified letters; each word must contain the anchor letter).
Yesterday's words:
BILLY BIOLOGY BOBBY BOGGLINGLY BOGGY BOGY BONNY BONY BOOBY GIGGLINGLY GIGGLY GLIBLY GLOBBY GOGGLY GOLLY GOOGLY GOONY IGNOBLY ILLY LILY LINY LOBBY LOBBYING LOLLY LONGINGLY LOONY LYING NINNY NOBBY NOBLY NONYL NYLON OBLIGINGLY OILILY OILY OLLYING ONLY OOLOGY YOBBO YOGI
Pangrams: BOGGLINGLY IGNOBLY LOBBYING OBLIGINGLY
What a puzzle! 4 pangrams, -ING, -LY...
GIGGLINGLY. Say it outloud. Nice.
IGNOBLE: characterized by baseness, lowness, meanness; of low birth or common origin, plebeian. Nice.
NONYL: an alkyl radical C₉H₁₉ derived from a nonane especially : the normal radical CH₃(CH₂)₇CH₂− maybe this is too obscuure...
OOLOGY: just like it sounds, the collection and study of bird eggs, especially in relation to shape and coloration.
OILILY is quickly becoming one of my favorite words, even more so as the NYT spelling bee does not accept it.
YOBBO: ordinarily I dont include Britishisms, but YOBBO is just so good... (Lout, yokel, hoodlum).
Another day.
