The letters, categories, or grid logic that made this one tricky.
What made this one tricky:
COLDBLOODED was the spangram because the theme words were animals associated with herpetology. BULLFROG brought the amphibian side, while CHAMELEON, CROCODILE, SNAKE, and TURTLE covered familiar reptiles. The clue pointed at the field of study first, then the spangram explained the biological trait shared across the set.
