This game was all about how many different words you could think of that were OUTOFORDER, although I admit I was pretty confused myself at first.
After first receiving SCRAMBLED, I thought the kind of “all mixed up” we were looking for was related to cooking, but I quickly changed my mind after connecting the letters from JUMBLED and CHAOTIC.
Then, after being SHUFFLED, I managed to see the spangram. Overall, I’m surprised I didn’t use a hint.
