Pangrams: FLATFISH FLATTISH
Missing: SAILFISH *FISHTAIL* SHITLIST SILL
Oh, I can't belive I missed 'SHITLIST'. Actually, Merriam-Webster lists it as two separate words, for some reason. Gah. It's definitiely a word, and MW screws up sometimes. In fact, it is even a verb which is widely used in some circles. I also missed a pangram 'FISHTAIL'. Also, 'SAILFISH' and 'SILL'. Warren proposed 'SAITH', but I generally don't list archaic-only words - my dictionary is already getting too big and the games are getting uncomfortably long...
ASSHAT - what a great word! Although I shun modern words, this one is rightly a word as far as I am concerned.
And it is a great day - we have HASH, HASHISH, SHIT, SHAT, ASSHAT, SHAFT, SLIT, FIST, and probably a few other potentially offensive words!
Another day.
