Description
Pangram is a simple game - just make words!
See how many words you can make with the letters on the screen. Each word must include the center letter(s). Use letters as many times as you want in each word. Can you guess the pangram? Pangrams are words that use all the letters on the board. Each game has at least one, and many have more. Bonus points for finding them!
Configure games how you like them:
• Set the number of center (required) letters
• Set the number of outer (optional) letters
• Set the minimum word length
That's it! No lives to lose. No penalty for guessing wrong. No stress. Just play!
For some extra fun, send games to friends and family, publish them on the public games listing, or join other public games that fellow Pangrammers have posted. Each shared or public game has a leader board where you can track everyone's progress.
In the free version you can create and play one game a day. If you're having a blast, upgrade to the Unlimited Games in-app purchase. Create game after game after game...
Requirement: You must have iCloud Drive enabled to share games and play public games. The basic free tier is all that's needed.
Final note: My kids want you to know that Pangram looks even better in Dark Mode. Embrace the dark side, they say.

Ratings and Reviews
Fun but what database???
Some minor annoyances:
So taggant, caribbean and megagram aren't words but carib, and obscure words in archaic gaelic are? Other reviewers have noted other odd inclusions and exclusions, but it's fair on scoring in that everyone is checked against the same list, wherever the heck it originates.
Public games show their letters, so on time-limited games you can't be sure that everyone is playing fair. It would be better if you got game "type" and not the actual letters for time-limited public games.
As well, similar public games are posted on successive days allowing players to polish play on those letter combos, so it favors frequent players in competitive play in a way that isn't initially obvious; it is not so much unfair as something you have to learn. Then you realize that you aren't as bad at it as the scores might suggest.
These cavils aside, decent implementation of a fun game, especially if only playing against yourself. The word lookup function is very good, so you can easily add to your weird short word vocabulary.
It doesn’t fit on iPhone screen
Deleting it.
Fun but missing words
Why would ´italian’ and ´latin’ not be valid words?
