ACROSS ANANAS ANORAK ARSON CARCASS CASCARA CASK CASSOCK CORNSACK COSSACK CRASS CROSS RANSACK SACK SANK SASS SCAN SCAR SCORN SKANK SNACK SOAK SOAR SOCK SONAR SONORA SOON

Pangram: CORNSACK

Missing: SNARK

Wrong: SONORA (place), ANORAK (stupidity)

Thank you for your /msg communications to me. I appreciate the supplied missing words (which get added to the dictionary) and corrections to the current puzzle (usually not much to do but acknowlege).

I goofed in this puzzle: I added ANORAK last-minute, forgetting that S is the anchor. When rooibos pointed it out to me, I went to the dictionary to double-check, and sure enough, it's a word that works, again, forgetting the -S- requirement. Doi. Warren /msg'ed about SONORA - a place name, here in error. Just to be sure, when /msg'ing a correction, mention the reason - as you can see I can be quite stupid after looking at words all day.

ANANAS is the word for pineapple in a lot of languages (not in common use in the US, however).

CASCARA is a flowering plant native to the US Pacific coast.

CASSOCK: a Roman Catholic or Anglican clergy robe.

CORNSACK: apparently Australian for 'gunny sack'.

COSSACK... This one is weird, because in it main meaning it's capitalized. However, we have other usages: cossack hat, cossack post, so it eeks its way into the dictionary.

Another day.
