I’ve evolved to usually getting Genius before looking at the grid, and when I can’t get to QB on my own, I look at the 3 letter lists before hints. Today was a hint free, fairly fast QB. ---

> [@now\_samantha](#): > > I look at the 3 letter lists before **hints**. I’m not sure what you mean by hints in this context. Is that the grid/2-letter list or something additional, such as readers comments? On a related note, once one does open hints, does looking only at the 2-letter list make it easier than only looking at the grid or vice-versa? I tend to look at both (after I’ve got to Genius). ---

One away from QB using the grid. I’m missing KO6 Edit: Nevermind, literally as I hit send I realized what the word was. QB with grid! ---

Almost got yesterday without hints, needed a hint for one of those recurring obscure 4-letter words ---

QB, no hints. Easy as long as you know the recurring words. ---

I’ve been playing the non-subscriber, cut-you-off-PDQ version. One of the puzzles would not take villi , even though it is a perfectly cromulent word. 🙄 😒 👎 ---

Been on a pretty good streak of QBs. Usually using the grid for a couple of words. ---

I was surprised that people would know LEITMOTIF. I knew it from studying music, but thought it was pretty obscure. ---
