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:
AMIXIA AXEL AXIAL AXILLA AXILLAE AXLE CALIX CLIMAX EXAM EXCEL EXCLAIM EXEC EXILE EXILIC IXIA LEXEME LEXEMIC LEXICAL MAXI MAXILLA MAXILLAE MAXIM MAXIMA MAXIMAL MAXIXE
Pangrams: EXCLAIM
AMIXIA (n) Absense of interbreeding (biology)
AXEL: (n) A 1¹/₂-turn skating jump
AXILLA(E) (n) Armpit(s)
AXLE: (n) A pin/shaft holding a rotating wheel, axis
IXIA: (n) a genus of southern African plants. Confusingly, Merriam-Webster definition claims the word is capitalized, even though it is lowercase in the same definition! Other dictionaries seem to allow lowercase meaning for 'any of the plants of the genus Ixia', so I will let it be.
LEXEME: (n) a lexical unit in a language.
MAXILLA(E) (n) a jaw or jawbone, especially upper (as the lower is the mandible).
MAXIM: (n) a general truth, fundamental principle or rule of conduct; a proverbial saying.
MAXIMA: (n) plural of maximum.
MAXIXE: (n) a Brazilian ballroom dance. Pronounced 'meshEEsh'. I sure as hell did not get this one.
Another day.
