Every word must contain the center letter V. Words are at least 4 letters long, and letters can repeat.
There is one pangram today: the word for reasoning that starts from general principles and works down to a specific conclusion - the kind of logic a detective uses to work from clues to a culprit.
Look for word families: a DE- set (deceive, deceived, detective and device, plus the pangram itself), a DI- set (dive, dived, divide, divided and divvied), an EV- set (evict, evicted and evictee) for the long points, and short V words like VICE, VIED, CIVIC and VIVID to bank quick points.
The pangram
It uses all seven letters: V, C, D, E, I, T, U.
