There is one pangram today: a seven-letter noun (and verb) for something put in place inside the body, like a dental or medical device - or a seedling put into the ground.
Look for word families: the MILIT- run (militant, militia, militiaman), the PLANT- family (plant, plantain, plait, plaint, pliant), the PALAT- pair (palatal, palatial), and the TATAMI / TILAPIA / TIMPANI long shots.
