I just put up a couple of tournaments. I'm hoping that the first one
will be possible even though it has some difficult words, considering
that they all finish the same and come from a common theme.

The second one may be much harder unless you think ahead on the clue
about pain relief. I wish now I had added some extra words like
"Generic Pain Relief Products" but maybe that makes it too easy?
Maybe not.

In all cases, I tried to arrange the letters to hide the word while
trying to leave a few options for other 6 words, hopefully with some
success. Perhaps this would be more fun with a 5+ word size allowed?
There are a LOT of 5+ words in these...

As for the word that cost me, I just noticed that "esconce" and
"esconced" aren't in the WW dictionary. Cost me many points... I'm
surprised as these are clearly relatively common words. I'm pretty
sure I spelled them right. Cost me about 50 points (what it deducted
from my score plus what it would have brought me...)

Seeing that my "pain relief" tournament is really too hard, I just
posted another one waaaayyy in the other direction... with 9-letter
words. Hope this makes up for any frustrations out there from the
last one...

I am not sure what that word is. Did you happen to mean ensconce?

If not, please provide a reference as my sources do not list that word.
