Good morning!

Above genius, but no pangram yet. Last word yesterday was colleen, which is usually a word that takes me forever to find.

Happy solving!

QBwH and learned a new word - coulee - after multiple hints and Googling.

LB - just 3fers. Got close with mad-doldrums-stink, rum-modals-stink, and was rather proud of nasturtium-milks-sod but alas.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

Got to genius with the pangram, but the pangram took a while! Yesterday we had team QB.  I needed help with coulee, colleen, nucleon.

No luck on LB, though the schmofficial components go well together!

Happy solving!

Good morning! 

QBABM yesterday with last word a wild guess—nucleon.  Today I have three words to go.  I may need help.

LB:  I found outdrinks-slam, which sounds like a scene from a depressing movie or TV series.  I have a 2fer today as well.

Happy puzzling!

Parasaurolophus

I know it's a genus.

QBwG, last word dean. I remembered dace from a previous puzzle.

LB complexity-yous. Didn't think the second word would take but hey, try everything!

Good morning!

I got dace yesterday entirely by accident.  Then I remembered having seen it before.  I needed help to find deejay/ed and ennead.  Today I am two 5L words away from QB and thoroughly stumped.

LB:  I also had complexity-yous and was surprised when the second word was accepted.  I then looked for something else and found the "official" music-complexity.  I have a 2fer today as well.

Happy puzzling!

Good morning!

Got to genius with pangram.  Yesterday we almost had team QB but were both missing dyne.  I was also missing decency, yenned.

I got the same 2fer as yous people! With the y and the u and s leftover, I figured I'd try yous but didn't think it would take it.  Whee! Cathwen, I like your 2fer from two days ago (and for two yesterday and another today)! I think I had outdrank at one point. 

And congrats on your QBABY 2 days ago! Hope you find your words today.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

Pangram and well above genius so far. Last words yesterday were decency and needy. The pangram was quite difficult to spot--I think I found it only because the letters were aligned properly after one of the many reshufflings.

exoticism/multiply, then complexity/yous

This week's crosswords have been relatively painless.

Happy solving!

ETA: QB!

Congrats on your 2fers yesterday and QB today, Langue_doc!

Parasaurolophus

Alpha, I think. Can't be missing much.
I know it's a genus.

ab_grp

Good morning!

Finally got to genius (but only one pangram) before switching to the crossword.  Yesterday, we each got QBABO!

No luck on LB, sadly.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

Pangram and genius; didn't realize that there are more pangrams today.

phantoms/squir(m/t)!

Happy solving

ciao_yall

QB with grid, last word title which is kind of embarassing because I had already found tittle.

LB phantoms-squirm.

Really? More than one panagram today? No wonder I'm stuck at Amazing with one P, and even with some pretty crazy words I thought I made up.

Oh well. Happy solving!

Good afternoon!

QBABM yesterday; I had been stuck at QB-2, then looked for words in -ée and found gelee and melee.  Today I have three words to go, one of which has to be the other pangram.  It took me ages to find the first one!  I may need hints today.

LB:  I had phantoms-squirt.  Playful ghosts with water pistols?  I found a 2fer pretty quickly today. 

Happy puzzling!
