Check this pattern late

wringing is worth 8 points before any pangram bonus.
It uses 5 unique letters, so it can fit boards that include g, i, n, r, w plus any remaining hive letters.
Watch the repeated-letter pattern (G x2, I x2, N x2); those are easy points to miss when scanning quickly.
The ING ending makes this a useful pattern check after you try the WR start.
