This is a gemlog for the SpellBinding puzzle, in which you construct words using the specified letters (each word must contain the anchor letter).
Play Wordo beta (yesterday's solution: TRAPS)
ALAS ALIAS ANAL ANNAL ANNUAL ANNUL ANNULI ANNULUS ASSAIL DIAL DILL DUAL DULL INLAID INLAND INSULIN ISLAND LAID LAIN LAND LANDSLID LASS LAUD LULL LULU LUNA LUNULA NAIL NASAL NULL SAIL SALAD SALSA SANDAL SISAL SLAIN SLID SNAIL SUNDIAL ULNA UNNAIL UNUSUAL USUAL
Pangram: SUNDIAL
Missed: SILL, UNLAID, LUAU, LASSI
ANNULUS: 1.ring 2.a ring-like structure.
LAID,LAIN. So the way I was taught to remember the difference between lay,laid,laying and lie,lay/lain,lying is that you get laid lying down. Although it doesn't really help. Plus there is lie,lied,lying as in not telling the truth. Argh.
Again wiuth LULU.
LUNA is obsolete silver (as in alchemy), or foreman in Hawaii. Huh. I thought it would be more moon-connected.
LUNULA: a crescent-shaped body part, (such as the whitish mark at the base of a fingernail).
SISAL 1a. fiber used for ropemaking 1b. agave 2.any of fibers resembling sisal
Ok.
Another day.
