This is another one I don't feel like I'm wired for. No panagram, I'm still looking for at least two 4 letter D words. I'm at 36/133 and I'm gassed.

I eventually sort of figured out connections, but it's still tough for me (and I often miss the purples). This one kills me.

This definitely eats up the most time. I usually have to go away from it for a while and come back with fresh eyes. I don't even try to get all of the words anymore. Yesterday's pangram was LIKELIHOOD

I would never spell it without a couple of hyphens Yeah, I tried one compound word that I would probably hyphenate if I were writing it...just because... seemed more of a UK usage than US anyhow. Probably a few medical terms in there that I didn't feel inspired to toy with.

I guess there's no such thing as a "moondial".

I guess they don't consider "moondial" a word.
