Cranially would be a pangram today and seems to be a dictionary word. The SB allows two related words, so it can’t be that obscure.
I agree. There have been quite a few excluded licit, reasonable words (including pangrams) in the last couple of weeks.
I tried that one too after finding the 2 related words and was disappointed that it wasn’t accepted.
PAVLOVIAN would have been a great pangram. I get why it wasn’t.
Yeah, me too. In fact, I couldn’t find a pangram today. I wonder why anil isn’t accepted.
Pavlov is a proper noun and therefore excluded.
Obviously
Ha. Me no read comprehensive England.
In an exciting twist, PAVLOVA was named for a person but became generic.
Annoyed that BAIRN and TRINITARIAN aren’t accepted today.
Today, I tried bivariant unsuccessfully though both variant and invariant were included. I also tried bairn, though you mentioned that.
That was my first guess for a pangram. Fortunately, rejected words don’t count against the First Pangram thing. So I persisted and got another FP anyway.
I tried BIVARIANT too as my first pangram guess.
And for those of us noticing fantasy world words, NARNIA was a possible today and a few days ago as well. And yesterday VORPAL (for Jabberwocky fans) was almost possible, just the L was missing but I kept seeing it, and remembering the line about it going “snicker-snack”
No MANIOC. Maybe someday, knowing his penchant for food.
Can someone please explain to me why ANKLEBONE is ok but not KNEEBONE?
I mean, if you at least tried BONKABLE, we are fam.
Meanwhile, I tried bankbook without success.
Well, duh
and BANKLOAN
Tried that as well, though I think it’s usually two words.
Heh, tried both of those also!
Neither worked for me…
I put in OBABAKOAK just for fun, as I type proper nouns and names in case I stumble upon another PANAMA, say.
