Every word must contain the center letter N. Words are at least 4 letters long, and letters can repeat.
There are three pangrams today, and all three are adverbs ending in -ALLY: one built on MANIAC, one on its shorter cousin MANIC, and one on INIMICAL, meaning hostile.
Look for word families: the CLINIC run (clinic, clinical, clinically, clinician), the MANIA run (mania, maniac, maniacal, maniacally), the CYNIC pair, and two spellings of the same small crocodilian: CAIMAN and CAYMAN.

Three words use all seven letters: A, C, I, L, M, N, Y.
