Very possible. The've loosened the rules have a bit since I originally generated the puzzles e.g. they now allow more than one vowel, i+n+g and e+d are allowed in puzzles, possibly more

The original Bees allowed only one vowel? That must have made it really tough to get long Bees!

Maybe it was 2. It's been a while..

the "ed" and "ing" puzzles are just annoying.

Toot, trot, tort, and moot aren't legal?

From the list of words, I think F was the required (central) letter.

As others have pointed out, all words must have the center letter, which was "F" on this day, the outer letters were "I M O R T Y"

You have to use the center letter, whatever it was.
