Today's Pangrams
Both use all seven letters, but neither is a perfect pangram: PARANOID repeats the A, and RAINDROP repeats the R. They also split the hive nicely, one built around the -OID ending and the other around the DROP pattern.

NADIR
Word of the Day
Nadir means the lowest point of something, the opposite of zenith. In astronomy it is the point directly below an observer, and in everyday use it describes a low point in a career, a season or a streak of bad luck. It is a great Spelling Bee word because it is short, common in writing and easy to overlook.
Key Takeaways
- There are two pangrams today: PARANOID and RAINDROP.
- D is in every answer, so build outward from it.
- The -OID ending gives you Droid, Opioid, Android and Paranoid.
- The DROP family gives you Drop, Airdrop, Paradrop and Raindrop.
- The RA- words (Radio, Radar, Radon, Radian) make up a big share of the list.
- Doubled letters (Dodo, Droop, Doodad, Indoor) are easy to miss.
