Spelling Bee

Well

llama is an English word… in one of the few Ogden Nash poems I ever memorized:

The one-l lama, he’s a priest;
The two-l llama, he’s a beast;
And I would bet a silk pajama,
There isn’t any three-l lllama!

This is what I do too. I got really ambitious (or bored :joy:) one week and got a full week of queen bees. Now I play pretty much every day. Try to hit genius on each one but sometimes get distracted and forget to finish.

And then some days it only takes a couple of tries. :woman_shrugging: used hints on the last 6

Got genius in 5 minutes, will try to finish while sitting through a meeting later today

QB, using hints for 6 words

Got to Queen Bee. Looked at hints after getting to genius.

Blurring this spoiler didn't hide it well enough

I’m grateful that they accepted this word

I tried this again and got locked out after 2 words with a demand for money.

At least I got offhanded before it locked me out

Yeah, mine was unlocked for like a month and then mysteriously locked up again. Annoying.

Woot Queen Bee already. Couldn’t sleep so I stayed up late and got it done.

Queen Bee
You found everything! All 36 words worth 141 points.

Haven’t had the gumption to finish one of these for a while. Guess I have to get some actual work done now.

Word frustration:

Radar is a word today, lidar was not accepted as a word yesterday. Even though they have the same root, just with radio replaced by light.

Ok, I kinda got Queen Bee today with the hints page, with the disclaimer being I typed in ATTAR out of frustration, not because I thought it was a word.

Also tried LIDAR but they have a pretty squishy policy about that kind of stuff. If it’s not too common they usually don’t accept it, especially for science stuff. I send them emails about stuff like muon and they are always dismissive about it. They seem to love their esoteric food words though.

Ugh I’m at 26/27 words. Going to come back in a few hours and hope it just pops into my head in the meantime.

I’m happy at 24. It’s good to be not too good.

Yeah I should have stopped earlier. Now it’s going to bug me for the rest of the day if I don’t finish lol
