About the May 20, 2020 Wordscapes Puzzle
The Wordscapes daily for Wednesday, May 20, 2020 ran 14 required words with an average length of 3.8 letters - a lighter, quicker board. The letter pool C E M R R U Y builds to a full pangram in MERCURY, and the spread runs from 3-letter fills up to the 7-letter anchor.
No anagram traps today - every word uses a distinct tile set, so a rejected word means a wrong word, not a wrong slot. Longest-first remains the fastest route: anchor words expose crossing letters that pull the short fills out almost automatically.

What letters are in today's Wordscapes daily puzzle?
The May 20, 2020 wheel holds 7 letters: C E M R R U Y. Every required word and every bonus word is built from these tiles only - if a word needs a letter that is not here, the game will not accept it no matter how valid it looks.
Why is a valid word not being accepted?
Two usual reasons: the word needs a tile the May 20, 2020 wheel does not have (C E M R R U Y only), or it is a valid English word that this board simply does not include - Wordscapes accepts a fixed answer set per puzzle, not the whole dictionary.
