This is a gemlog for the SpellBinding puzzle, in which you construct words using the specified letters (each word must contain the anchor letter).

Pangrams: LEGWORK
Yes, RELOOK is a word. The enormous families of RE- words (and un-words, and over-words, and many others) are an issue. Every now and then I take a day to sort one of these out - there are tons of words, and it's curious and arbitrary how some exist and others do not. My dictionary has grown 25% over the last few months of SpellBinding operation, largely due to these.
The solution is fun to look at, as it interweaves work into other words in an amusing way. I guess I can be amused by anything abstract. The real world has offered few amusements lately.
Another day.
