COMIC FILM FILMIC FIRM FORM FORMIC FROM LIMO LOOM MICRO MICROFILM MICROFORM MIFF MILL MIMIC MIRROR MOIL MOLL MOOR ROOM
Pangrams: MICROFILM
FILMIC is a bit weird, but straightforward: relating to motion pictures. FORMIC - not used by itself, but with acid or aldehyde (formaldehyde for short)... Should probably remove it...
MICROFORM: a process for reproducing printed matter in a much-reduced size. I've never encountered this word; I've used microfilm and microfiche at libraries back in the day, but microform? Curiously, Merriam-Webster has the following quote to illustrate the usage:
The Apollo Prayer League finally had its day when Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell carried 100 microform Bibles to the surface of the moon and returned them to Earth.
Our tax dollars at work.
MOLL: prostitute; a gangsters girl.
MOIL: (v) to work hard, drudge; to be in continuous agitation; (n) drudgery; confusion or turmoil. Not to be confused with a 'mohel', the guy who circumsizes Jewish boys.
Another day.
