You used 4 hints, found all 7 words, and found the pan last.

Hrmm. It's definitely a plus one from a simple word search, but I don't know if it's one I'll get addicted to.

Trying to get the sprangram on the first move seems intimidatingly impossible, so I don't know what "hard mode" rules light emerge from this.

Interesting

Seems a bit redundant to have both the theme and the yellow word, though

I think the title gave away the Spangram a bit, but it's a neat gimmick. Bookmarked.

It's basically a word search except the words don't have to be in a straight line, every letter is used exactly once, and there's one word that is basically the category for all the other words which will touch two opposite ends of the letter grid.

So does going for hints get you more points or fewer? On the one hand, good for you you found some extra words. On the other, lol needing hints. I need to know so I can impress you all with my brilliance.

You want no hints if possible.

I'm sure it was, but it's easy to accidentally touch a neighboring letter, which means the game won't count it. That's probably what happened.

It still should count towards opening a hint. But like I said, if you're doing this on mobile it's easy to accidentally add or miss a letter, which leads to it saying "not a word."

I guess the goal is to get all the words that fit the category, and to get the "spangram" as early as possible? I kind of wish there was a timer like in the crossword, it would probably be a better scoring method than this Wordle/Connections-type emoji-results garbage.

Yeah it's kinda lame. So ideally you would get the spangram without any hints or related words.
