This is a gemlog for the SpellBinding puzzle, in which you construct words using the specified letters (each word must contain the anchor letter).
CESS COCK COCKCROW COCKER COERCE COERCER COKER COOK COOKER CORE CORER CORK CORKER CORKSCREW CORSE COWER COWORKER CREEK CRESS CREW CREWER CROCK CROOK CRORE CROSS CROSSER CROW RECESS ROCK ROCKER ROCOCO SCORE SCORER SCREE SCREW SCREWER SOCCER SOCK SORCERER SORCERESS WRECK WRECKER
Pangram: CORKSCREW
Missed: ESCROW
This is one of those puzzles where so many words have an additional -ER form... Take COCK/COCKER; a cocker is a keeper or handler of fighting cocks. But, there is a transitive verb to COCKER: to indulge, or pamper. A COCKCROW means dawn.
Another day.
