Hint 1 of 3
Every word must contain the center letter A. Words are at least 4 letters long, and letters can repeat.
Hint 2 of 3 - Pangram
There is one pangram today: a word for a ghostly presence that keeps returning to a place, or for something that keeps coming back to mind.
Hint 3 of 3 - Stuck?
Look for word families: a big -ING set (gaining, hanging, nagging and tanning among them), a TA- set (tahini, taiga, taint and tang), and short A words like ANTI, AUNT, GAGA and GNAT to bank quick points.
