Y is required—try attaching common suffixes (-y, -ly, -en, -ive, -ness) to familiar stems and hunt for combinations that use all letters.

Y: Common as a suffix (-y) to form adjectives meaning 'full of' or 'characterized by'.

A: Frequent vowel in roots and in the '-able' family that makes adjectives meaning 'capable of'.

E: Appears in the verb/adjective-forming suffix '-en' and many short stems.

I: Key vowel in '-ing' forms and many short verb/adjective stems.

L: Look for the suffix '-ly' (adverb/adjective formation) and L-led root families.

N: Common in negation prefixes like 'non-' and noun-forming suffixes such as '-ness'.

V: Often part of the adjective-forming suffix '-ive' and of many verb roots with a voiced V sound.

Pangram: a single adverb (uses every tile) that can describe acting innocently or credulously.
