Strategy note
Today's strategy note: Combine short words into compound words to get the maximum points. For example, today we have CALL and BACK as two 1-pointers, but when we combine them, we get CALLBACK, an 8-point word! Today's pangram is another example. Not sure if it's a word? Just combine things - there's no penalty for guessing.
Editorial note
Today was another fairly straitforward day, although it did feel like we were nearing the end of our options by the time we go to genius. There were still more words in our solver's list, of course, but a surprisingly high number were reject today. Even valid words (if somewhat inappropriate.... But hey, with that letter combo, they're asking for it!) Got to Genius with 38 words and 186 points.
