Today's puzzle by the numbers
Difficulty, rank thresholds, pangram etymology and what makes today unusual.
Difficulty
5/ 10
A solidly middle-of-the-road puzzle that leans slightly easier than average thanks to a generous spread of common short words. Today's 54-word list runs well above the historical average of 42 words, giving solvers more chances to accumulate points even if a few answers slip by. The single pangram is a satisfying compound that rewards methodical thinking about long combinations, though it may take some hunting. The trickiest corner is a cluster of doubled-letter words and a French-origin culinary term that could stump solvers unfamiliar with Cajun cuisine.

About the pangram
bottleful16 pts
A straightforward English compound formed from 'bottle' (from Old French 'bouteille,' ultimately from Late Latin 'butticula,' a small cask) plus the suffix '-ful' denoting a quantity; its debut in the Spelling Bee makes it a rare treat despite being a perfectly ordinary measurement word.
