Instead, it was EARRINGS, a spangram which I needed to get as in my ignorance I tapped out EARDROP and missed the letter T.

STUD was the first word I looked for, which after getting it immediately exhausted my knowledge of the many types of ear adornments.

Like clip-on ties and clip-on moustaches, there is something comical about CLIP-ON earrings. Largely because they are the type of thing you’d put on as a child and wear while doing impressions of your mother and her friends gossiping about the neighbors at a Tupperware party. No? Just me then!
