This is a wordlog for the SpellBinding puzzle (in which you construct words using the specified letters; each word must contain the anchor letter).
DERIDE DERIDED DERIDER DIDDY DIDO DIED DIODE DIRE DIRER DRIED DRIER DROID EDDIED EERIE EERIER EIDER EYRIR IODIDE JOYRIDE JOYRIDER OOID REDID REDRIED RIDDER RIDE RIDER RIDERED
Pangrams: JOYRIDE JOYRIDER
So we have -ED and -ER here, for some of the words, and many English words that end in -Y (not good here) have -IED or IER forms that are good here...
We had DIDO before, but I had to look it up again. 1)a mischievous or capricious act : prank, antic —often used in the phrase cut didoes 2) : something that is frivolous or showy. Now this is curious - I've never heard of the phrase 'cut didoes', but as a carpenter, I've cut dados! Dado cuts are a bit tricky and require some preparation. I think 'cutting didoes' is a mistake that spread. That's my theory, anyway.
OOID, we've had also... (adj) egg-shaped, (n) an individual grain of an oolite (a kind of a rock formation).
RIDERED: (adj) having riders across the stakes — used of a fence.
Another day.
