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:
ABATE ABET AGATE AGITATE BAIT BATE BATTY BEAT BEET BEGAT BEGET BETA BETTA BITE BITT BITTY BYTE EATAGE GAIETY GAIT GATE GAYETY GIBBET GIGABIT GIGABYTE TABBY TATTY TEABAG TEAT TETE TIBIA TIBIAE TITBIT TITTY YETI
Pangrams: GIGABYTE
BETA is the second letter of the Greek alphabet, while BETTA is a small tropical fish.
BITT is the curvy post or a pair of posts on a ship (or a dock) for securing lines (can also be a verb, for securing lines to a bitt).
GIGABIT and GIGABYTE are absurdly large units of storage. Anyone who can fill a GIGABYTE drive is surely a wizard! You'd have to, like, digitize an entire movie or something!
Unfortunately, the International System of Units defines GIGABYTE ass 1,000,000,000 bytes. Everyone knows that a gigabyte is 2³⁰, or 1,073,741,824. Kids today know this quantity as, what is that ridiculous word? GIBIBIT? That is just ridiculous. Kids today.
Another day.
