Hello from Day 17 of the current California COVID constant curfew! The real lockdown starts Monday, but I’ve not been making any trouble.
Yesterday I missed TWO of the FOUR pangrams. Four pangrams!
While I got WORKDAY and YARDWORK, I didn’t get DAYWORK or WORKADAY.
WORKADAY? Not special, unusual, or interesting in any way; ordinary. Now I know!
I also missed DOWDY, DOWRY, and ODOR.
Meatier misses
DOORYARD: A yard or garden by the door of a house. I guess this makes sense?
DRYAD: (in folklore and Greek mythology) a nymph inhabiting a forest or a tree, especially an oak tree. Each time I miss this, it’s new to me.
DYAD: Something that consists of two elements or parts. I keep thinking this is with an I, but clearly I is wrong.
