Hints, in order
Hint 0 of 3Tap to show one hint at a time.
Every word must contain the center letter I. Words are at least 4 letters long, and letters can repeat.
There is one pangram today: a seven-letter adjective for pieces connected by a hinge or a fitted seam, the way good carpentry - or a skeleton - is put together.
Look for word families: the -TION run (dentition, detention, edition, intention, notion), the JOIN family (enjoin, join, joined, joint), and the TIN- cluster (tine, tint, tinned). There is even a Canadian coin hiding in the list: TOONIE.
The pangram
It uses all seven letters: D, E, I, J, N, O, T.
