My Genius list:
Real pangram: BRICKWORK
Fake pangram: CRIBWORK
The area of parenting focused on sleep training an infant. Because of their stellar cribwork the new parents were able to sleep peacefully within a few months of birth.
Difficulty: Easy
Saw BOOK and WORK immediately as possible parts of a compound pangram (which also gave me both WORKBOOK and BOOKWORK straight out of the gate), so it was just a (short) matter of time before BRICKWORK fell into place. The -ROCK/-RICK/-ROOK endings proved to be fruitful in quickly attaining Genius level.
Olio: There aren't too many words I find in Spelling Bee that the layperson would not recognize, but I suspect BRIO is one. I know it from crossword puzzles, but I don't think I've ever heard anybody use it in everyday discourse. Maybe I'll start.
