I’m up to 25/27 for yesterday’s puzzle. Made it to genius today, might just stop there with 8 words to go.
Same boat here. Lots of Fs to give at work so I’m going to tap out at 39/51 words today.
Just one point from genius and can’t figure out how to get there. Will get back to it later today.
Was able to EDUCE the word needed to bring me to genius. Now 4 words/31 points to go, haven’t yet looked up the letter grid.
Yesterday was the 2nd straight day of falling 1 short. Never heard the word CELLULE before. Tuesday the one I missed was one of things I thought I had guessed before - hate when that happens.
For me it was DECKLE. new word to me.
That one was a wild guess for me - never heard of it either
If I’m going to figure out how to spell Huguenot then it should count as a pangram, damnit. I don’t care if it’s a proper noun. Especially if goth counts.
Woot got them all today.
Looks like they finally took my advice on one word. A few weeks ago it didn’t accept NUCLEON as a word, but yesterday they did.
Rant about today’s pangram(s): It feels like having the only pangrams in a puzzle be compound words is cheating. And kinda sucks that they both combine the same 2 words, just in different orders.
I had only heard of one of them
The spelling bee editors apparently buy into the idea that the clit is fictional and doesn’t exist.
I tried that too, but I guess technically it’s an abbreviation, not an actual word. Still it’s slang in pretty common use so it seemed like it was worth a try.
Oh ffs, decile is a word. Either that or I’m doing my job wrong.
Didn’t think of that, industry terms don’t always land - I keep thinking they will accept novation but no luck so far. Not too hard to get to genius today, if I have the desire I might try to get to genius on yesterday’s but really struggled with it yesterday.
Or maybe they are all male and just can’t find it
Just missed my 2nd straight QB yesterday - never heard the word bibelot.
Today they didn’t accept rarify
I’m two words away today. Can’t believe they didn’t accept rarify and rimy. Those are pretty common words imo.
Woo finally got queen bee today. Learned a new word - RAITA
Even though I know that word, that was the R word I was missing.
