GIRTH GOTH HIGH HIGHT HOGG HOOT HORROR HOUR HURT OUGHT OUTRIGHT RIGHT ROUGH RUTH THIGH THOROUGH THOU THOUGH THOUGHT THROUGH THROUGHOUT THUG TIGHT TOOTH TOUGH TROTH TROUGH TRUTH

Pangram: OUTRIGHT

HIGHT: being called, named, as in 'I met a wise man hight Stacksmith'. Archaic, and not likely to be seen unless you are reading 'King Arthur'.

HOGG. This is an error - a proper name of a Scottish poet. I goofed.

RUTH - not the name... 1): compassion for the misery of another 2): sorrow for one's own faults : remorse. Funny, I never looked at the definition and had a good idea of what it actually means. What is really curious is that the two definitions are distinctly different: the second one is sollipsistic while the first one is altruistic. But the word 'ruthless' bring both together - looking at the two items: 1) without compassion and 2) without remorse, the two are not that different. Maybe it's just me.

TROTH, a curious one:

a person's solemn declaration that he or she will do or not do something (by my troth, I will not trespass on your precious property);
the act or state of being engaged to be married (as in 'announced their troth');
adherence to something to which one is bound by a pledge or duty (as in "pledge one's troth");
a verb form of any of the above

And that's the TRUTH.

Another day.
