Pangram of the day

The pangram for 15 November is emoting. It works because it uses every letter in the hive at least once: E, M, O, T, I, N, G. That single word neatly combines a common verb root (emote/emotion) with an -ing ending to capture all required letters. Fun bit: emoting is a lively, expressive word — perfect for a puzzle that encourages finding a satisfying, all-letter solution.
