This is a gemlog for the SpellBinding puzzle, in which you construct words using the specified letters (each word must contain the anchor letter).
AIRBALL ARIA BACILLAR BARB BARBARIC BICARB BIRACIAL BRAIL BRASS BRASSICA BRIAR BRILL CARACAL CARCASS CASCARA CIRCA CRAB CRASS CRIB CRISIS IRIS LAIR LIAR LIRA RABBI RACIAL RAIL RAILCAR RASCAL RIAL RILL SABRA SACRAL SARI SCALAR SCAR SCARAB SCRIBAL
Pangrams: SCRIBAL
Missed: SIRIASES (sunstroke)
BRILL: a European flatfish, aka turbot
CARACAL: a long-legged reddish-brown nocturnal cat
CASCARA: aka buckthorn (a plant)
SABRA: a native-born Israeli. I have several problems with this. I generally disallow place-names and people-of-some-place-names... I also have serious problems with Israel's place in the world, as a religious, highly militarized state, actively involved in genocide. And the idea of a social structure that is really paying attention to whether you are native to a specific place makes me vomit a little. I will now delete this distasteful word. No nationalities or any directly-derived words (and if you see one, it's an error).
Another day.
