My Genius list:
Real pangram: COTTONMOUTH
Fake pangram: OUTMUNCH
To surpass in munching.
This fake definition reminds me once, in Bangalore, India, I saw a little restaurant called MUNCH BOX. The women with me were like, Yes, please!
Difficulty: Challenging
I got COTTONMOUTH in the middle of my solve, which is strange. Usually, I get the pangram right away, because I'm looking for it, of if I don't, I usually don't get it until the end, because I set it aside mentally and try to fill in everything else first. In general, this one took me longer than usual. I finally tipped over to Genius level once I started looking for OUT and UN words. The last one to go in was UNCOUTH. Weirdly, I got the much less common COUTH very early on.
Olio: I always want COUNTOUT to be valid. It's a pro wrestling term. I also always try to put in HONCH even though I know it's spelled HAUNCH. I see now I missed HOOCH, which is a shame I love old-timey terms like that.
