This is a wordlog for the SpellBinding puzzle (in which you construct words using the specified letters; each word must contain the anchor letter).
Yesterday's words:
EMIR EMPIRE HEMMER HEMP HERM MEME MERE MERRIER MEWER MIME MIMER MIRE PERM PIMP PREMIER PREMIERE PRIM PRIME PRIMER PRIMMER PRIMP RIME RIMIER RIMMER WHIM WHIMPER WIMP
Pangram: WHIMPER
Missed: WIMPIER, as a few of you pointed out. Curiosly, Merriam-Webster's dictionary does not have an entry or a notation like it usually does, but typing in 'wimpier' will take you to 'wimp', indicating that it is cross-referenced and meant to be there. And it's clearly a word.
MIMER is usually referred to as a MIME... PRIMMER is refers to the adjective PRIM, as in more PRIM. A RIMMER is one that rims, maybe a cutter or, curiously, "a worker who forms edge wires that are used as top frames of bedspring assemblies or one who attaches rims to the top coils of bedsprings". That's pretty specific. Also, a 'reamer'.
Another day.
