Dang, I’m only at 32 words / 1 pangram. But I haven’t reviewed the hints yet, so that’ll help.

I think we should move the Blossom game to a different thread. @ArthurItas, can that happen?

I did get up to 29 words / 107 points on yesterday’s puzzle. Only 1 pangram though: hegemony. What was the other?

Please blur spoilers, even if it’s yesterday’s puzzle. NYT recently added the option of working on past puzzles - I sometimes take advantage of that feature.

Huh, well NYT is now once again cutting me off when I get to the “solid” ranking. Humph!

At 37/46 with the pangram and genius level, so calling it quits. Today’s spelling bee and I are not on the same wavelength and I found it to be a slog.

I don’t get which Spanish words are ok and which ones aren’t. I got llama, but not llano, which apparently counts. But meanwhile manana and mano are not ok, even though often used by English speakers. All in all, missed llano, plus 4 each of the H and M words.
