NYT Spelling Bee: HAYNECK

Grid:

My Genius list:


Real pangram: HACKNEY

Fake pangram: HAYNECK

A cross between a hayseed and a redneck.

Difficulty: Challenging

HACKNEY went in straightaway, but I got stuck on the level before Genius for much longer than usual.  Finally, I saw ENHANCE which pushed me over the edge.  I couldn't find many long words (only three above five letters).  I'm not sure if others don't exist or if I just missed them. 

Olio: HACKNEY, qua adjective, is one of those words that means the same thing if you add -ED to its end.  My four-year-old is big on these.  He says things like The door is opened instead of The door is open.
