Hints, in order

Hint 0 of 3

Tap to show one hint at a time.

Hint 1 of 3

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

Hint 2 of 3 - Pangram

There is one pangram today: the word for what a politician does when they keep reversing their position, back and forth - read literally, it is also the past tense of flopping around in a pair of thong sandals.

Hint 3 of 3 - Stuck?

Look for word families: a FI- set (fiddle, fief, field, fife, file, fill and flip, plus the pangram itself), a DI- set (diddle, diode, diploid, dipole and dipped), a LI- set (lied, life, lipid, lipped and lollipop) for the long points, and short I words like DELI, DIED, DILL and IDLE to bank quick points.

The pangram

It uses all seven letters: I, D, E, F, L, O, P.
