Like JRR Tolkein yesterday, today’s search topic was a mystery to me, but I still managed to find a passage.
When you come across a non-play word, like “mark,” it’s hard not to convince yourself that it must be part of the spangram, so I wasted some time trying to add another word to it before giving up, and failed to detect BRAIDED.
However, I saw BEAUTYSALON, which set me on my way in great style.
