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:
ALLUVIA ALLUVIAL ANVIL AVAIL AVIAN AVID DIVA DIVAN INDIVIDUAL INVALID LAVA LIVID NAVAL UVULA VAIN VALID VALVAL VANDAL VANILLA VANNAL VIAL VILLA VILLAIN VILLI VIVA VIVID VULVA
Pangrams: INDIVIDUAL
Missed: DILUVIAL, DILUVIAN (darn it)
So I missed an entire pangram here. OK.
ALLUVIA, pl. of alluvium (n): clay, silt, sand, gravel, or similar detrital material deposited by running water.
ALLUVIAL (adj): relating to, composed of, or found in alluvium.
VANNAL (adj): of, relating to, or constituting a vannus and especially a fold between the remigium and vannus of the wings of some insects. Vanus is (n): the anal(?) lobe of an insect's wing especially when large and fanlike
VILLI, pl.of villus (n) a small slender often vascular process: such as: one of the minute finger-shaped processes of the mucous membrane of the small intestine that serve in the absorption of nutriment; one of the branching processes of the surface of the chorion of the developing embryo of most mammals that help to form the placenta. [By process here MW means 'projection'].
VULVA (n): the external parts of the female genital organs.
