BOOKENDS puzzle #7, November 3, 2026

Tuesday's BOOKENDS word was AMONG. It has five letters, starts with A and ends with G. The day's shelf held 400 words that fit between the bookends at the start.

Worth knowing about this word: a word starting with A sits about 4% of the way through the alphabet, so a first guess near the middle of the dictionary, such as a word that starts with M, cuts about half the shelf whichever side the answer is on. Aim each later guess at the middle of the gap that is left.
