Only got QB today because two of my cousins have Jewish spouses.

Got pangram last in doing QB today.

I got it first. Sometimes it just leaps right out at you.

Today was likely easiest QB ever

Inconsistencies with proper nouns frustrate me. From today, we have Macadam and Mecca both derived from proper nouns.

ALLICIN is too a fluffin’ word!!! Stoopid game!!! :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

One exclusion that always bugs me that came up again today is CARACAL It’s at least as legitimate as all the random plants that are allowed.

Disappointed that RADICAND is not accepted as a word. It’s like the editors all failed their math and science classes.

Catching up on old puzzles. Disappointed that Wednesday’s didn’t accept COCKADOODLEDOO

Getting QB often involves typing in random 4-5 letter strings, finding out that they are right, and then looking up what they are. E.g., KENTE

Not sure I’ve ever seen one with an S, at least not online

There hasn’t been one, this is a special puzzle b/c it is the 2,500th spelling bee.

How FABULOUS
