Hint 1 of 3

Every word must contain the center letter C. Words are at least 4 letters long, and letters can repeat.

Hint 2 of 3 - Pangrams

There are three pangrams today. One describes something lit from behind. One is the online headline trick built to earn a click. The third is a football backfield position.

Hint 3 of 3 - Stuck?

Look for word families: a BACK set (back, backbit, backtalk and one of the pangrams), a KICK set (kick, kickback and kickball), a TACT set (tacit, tact, tactic and tactical), and short C words like ACAI, BACK, CALL and CLICK to bank quick points.

The three pangrams

Each uses all seven letters: C, A, B, I, K, L, T.
