4/3 rant: Dumbest pangram ever. It’s two words. And for it to be 15.5% of the total points? ---

Nothing like a good Spelling Bee rant. ---

FWIW “cowlike” was NOT considered a word in Letterboxed today. Perhaps cuteness is a factor for NYT to decide what is and is not a word. 🤷‍♀️ ---

Several questionable words in today’s, but no PUKEY?? ---

Pretty sure NYT is going to catch some flak for saying RAPING is not a word 😬 ---

Maybe they just want to avoid controversy. I can’t believe they didn’t accept PIKA today. That’s not obscure at all imo. ---

Bc I think you need a C and not a K, no? Or am I thinking of a different word? ---

Two different words. One is a cute furry animal and the other one is the typing thing. ---

Having tough time finding pangram today, might be able to get genius without it. ---

I’m in the same boat. Still working on it. ---

Yep, maybe will come to me during my workout. At least I got genius. ---

I’ve tried ATTACKRABBI and RABBITTRICK but nothing seems to be working here. I figured the latter would work, as in Silly RABBITTRICKs are for kids ---

Third straight QB, needed the hints after genius, last word involved a lot of trial and error but finally discovered DENGUE - never heard the word before ---

Something I learned from experience. Never heard of GADDED but once I remembered that occasionally a six letter word is a past tense version of a 3-letter word, I tried all the different 3 letter possibilities. ---
