This is a gemlog for the SpellBinding puzzle, in which you construct words using the specified letters (each word must contain the anchor letter).
ACYCLIC ALLAY ALLOY ALLY CATALYTIC CATTY CITY CLAY COOLLY COYLY CYCLIC CYCLICAL CYCLICALLY CYCLICITY ICILY ILLICITLY ILLY LACY LAITY LILY LOCALITY LOCALLY LOLLY LOYAL LOYALLY LOYALTY OILILY OILY TACITLY TACTICALLY TALLY TATTY TITTY TOTALITY TOTALLY
Pangram: LOCALITY
Missed: CLOY, LICITLY. God damn it, I keep missing it. Now there is a whole month's worth of queued up puzzles without it. We shall see.
There are some words which we use, especially jargon words like 'enqueue/dequeue', which apparently are not words, in any dictionary I check. Today: 'acyclicity' is not a word in any dictionary I could find. I actually added it, becayse of 'cyclicity', you know. But when I checked, nope. Neither is 'acyclical' or 'acyclically'. Go figure. What do I do with these? Some days I just add them because FU, dictionaries. Other days I'm like WTF, it is not a word, and who am I to say it is? But the answer is no, it is not a word.
Lots of words but no surprises here. Other than perhaps LAITY: laypeople, in a religious or professional sense.
Another day.
