Happy solving!

Good morning!

QB yesterday, last word deity.  Today I have the pangram and two words to go. 

Langue_doc, thanks for the quotations from Shakespeare illustrating yond!

LB:  I had frowzier-runlets.  I was skeptical of the second word, but a runlet is apparently a small stream.  The first word reminded me of my childhood, as my mother would call me "frowzy" when I was disheveled, or at least not neat enough to suit her.   

I found a 2fer today, but I don't like the second word (it seems iffy), so I may try for another one if I have time.

Happy puzzling!

Good morning!

Took me the pangram to get to genius, but I finally got there.  Not sure this will be quite as easy as yesterday.  From social medial, seems like that one might have been the easiest ever! My last word was fitted.  Husband's was fidgeted, and that was late in the game for me, too, which is kind of funny.  We both found fidgety, fidget as our first two words and then abandoned that root, I guess.

For LB I had the schmofficial sunflower-ritz.  Congrats on your different 2fer, Langue_doc!

Happy solving!

Oop just saw cathwen's.  Congrats on your other different 2fer! My mom used frowzy as well.  That is an interesting combo.  And congrats on another today! Good luck if you try for a second one.  And good luck with your final bee words!

QBABM! Last word tiff. LB was zits-sunflower which I realized could also be sunflower-ritz.

[ab_grp]

Finally got to QBABM! Boy howdy, that was some work.  And I have a bunch of contenders but no 2fer yet.  I will keep at it.

QBwH for ovular. LB justifies-sparkish which I didn't think would take but it did.

Happy solving!

[Langue_doc]

Good morning!

Pangram (whew!) and genius. Didn't think that I'd find any more words, but just added 20 or 21 points after resuming the bee on one of the computers. Last word yesterday was afoul, which I thought I had entered much earlier.

jukes/shapeshifter (found the latter first), and then justifiers/sparkish, and then realized that justifies would be more economical.

Frowzy is an apt description of dishevelment.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

Got to genius with the pangram (which took a little bit).  Yesterday I was glad to get to QB after a lot of effort with last word afro.  It was also husband's last word.  Guess it hasn't been in there for a while.

No luck on LB! Darnit! Congrats on your 2fer ciao_yall, and your two or three 2fers, Langue_doc!

Happy solving!

Good morning!

I got to QB yesterday with 1L help to find falloff.  Today I am at QB-1 and just can't find that last word.  Maybe later?

LB:  I first had justifies-sparkish, then found the "official" upshift-tearjerker.  I don't have a 2fer yet today. 

Happy puzzling!

QBw2LL and a wild guess at logy. LB bushwhack-kempt.

Happy solving!

[cathwen]

Good morning!

QB yesterday with 1L help for, embarrassingly, hotly.  Today I'm above genius with the pangram, which took me an eternity to find. 

LB:  I also had bushwhack-kempt.  I have a 2fer today also. 

Happy puzzling!

[Langue_doc]

Good morning!

Pangram and above genius. I don't think I'll have much time for the bee as there's still the crossword to tackle.

Missed logy and mothy--I've seen the former before.

Found bushwhack right away (remembered the bushwhacking hikes) and then the mate kempt.

Happy solving!

[ab_grp]

Good morning!

Finally, finally got the pangram and to genius.  Yesterday I got to QBABM with last word otology.

No luck on LB! Again! I had some good contenders but couldn't make them work out.  Congrats on all your solutions!! And congrats on getting another today, cathwen!

Happy solving!

[ciao_yall]

QBwH and a new word rotatory. LB watch-hydrogen.

Happy solving!

[Langue_doc]

Good morning!

QB today and also yesterday. There's only one slightly offbeat word today, but you'll get it.

Happy solving!
