This is a gemlog for the SpellBinding puzzle, in which you construct words using the specified letters (each word must contain the anchor letter).
CLIFF FIFING FIGGING FILCH FILCHING FILING FILL FILLING FINCH FINING FINNING FLIC FLINCH FLINCHING FLING FLINGING GLIFF GLIFFING INFILL INFILLING
Two pangrams in this tiny puzzle: FLINCHING and FILCHING. I am fond of the word 'filching'.
GLIFF/GLIFFING is a bit of a strech. I am not sure how I feel about British-only (frighten) or Scottish (glimpse) dialect words that would not likely be heard anywhere else in the world.
FLIC is also bullshit - French slang for cops. I like 'f***ing pigs', preferrably with 'defund' or 'disarm' directly preceding. But it's good to have obscure options that don't get you shot.
I felt it was not a very satisfying puzzle.
Another day.
