This is a gemlog for the SpellBinding puzzle, in which you construct words using the specified letters (each word must contain the anchor letter).
AVATAR AVER AVERT EAVE EVER EVERT EXTRAVERT EXTROVERT OVATE OVER OVERATE OVEREAT OVERRATE OVERT OVERTAX OVERTREAT RAVE RAVER REVERE REVERT REVOTE ROVE ROVER TROVE VEER VERTEX VERVE VETO VETOER VEXER VORTEX VOTE VOTER
Missing: REEVE REAVE REAVER, some -ER/-OR words
Pangram: OVERTAX. It's like I made this puzzle. Oh, I did!
A TROVE of OVER- words here: OVERATE, OVERRATE, OVERTAX, OVERTREAT. I suspect a couple of others are missing as my dictionary is a bit short on prefixed words (I am working on that). Same for RE- words: REVERT, REVOTE...
AVATAR, an incarnation of a Hindu deity, is now solidly in our repertoire as a digital representation of a person.
To AVER is to declare positively. To EVERT is to overthrow or upset.
The only VEXER for me was the alternate spellings of EXTROVERT and EXTRAVERT.
Another day.
