This is a gemlog for the SpellBinding puzzle, in which you construct words using the specified letters (each word must contain the anchor letter).
This was an experiment: a week-long game, with a special rule: only long, 8-characters or longer words allowed. And it does not seem to be a success - daily games draw more hits every day than the long game drew in a week. Too bad: I thought slower games are more appropriate for the slonet.
The game looked intimidating with 8+ -long words... But look at all the words below! The reason for long words only is that there are so many words with these letters that the puzzle would be really annoying. Limiting to really long words cut the solution set to a reasonable size.
There were a couple of technical snags (due to the size of the game and special rules, my bad), and a few illegal words were accepted initially...
I haven't given up on the slower puzzles, as the daily ones seem like a race for me to make and for you to solve. I will make another try soon.
