Sent you a hint, ciao_yall.

QB and two-fer. Tomorrow's crossword is done.

ciao_yall

Ooh found my almost 2fers from yesterday. Will share them here for posterity.

parvenues-soylent
parlours-seventy
papyrus-solvent


Wouldn't take soylent, and two b4ss solutions.

Langue_doc

Good morning!

Pangram and genius so far.

Last word yesterday was the pangram. I think yesterday's bee was much more challenging and therefore more mentally stimulating than today's.

develop/puritan

Happy solving, all!

cathwen

Good morning!

Pangram and genius today.  I don't know what was wrong with me yesterday—I missed several blindingly obvious words found only after 2LL help. Diacritic was my last word.

LB:  I had vapored-dilution.  Once again, several possibilities, as neither Langue_doc nor I had the "officlal" solution. 

No 2fer yet today, but came frustratingly close a few times. 

Happy puzzling!

Morning!

SB - Read Langue-Doc's hint, read the online hints and still couldn't figure it out. Then this morning it hit me... but noooooooooo, new puzzle loaded. So TOQB-1WITHICG (Timed Out Queen Bee Minus One With All The Help I Could Get.") Keep forgetting arcadia.

LB - pronated-dilutive.

Happy solving!

ab_grp

Good morning!

I'm at Alpha today, but husband had to go to a doctor's appt he's been dreading, so we will get back to it later.  Yesterday I finally thought of attract and then tract.

For LB, I got repudiation-navel.  Lots of different solutions, and still not schmofficial one. 

Happy solving!

ab_grp

Husband got to QBABH while waiting at the doctor's office, and I got there after he got home.  And I got a 2fer!

cathwen

Just got a 2fer!  But it was a struggle today.

Parasaurolophus

Blah, I'm back on my losing streak.
I know it's a genus.

Langue_doc

Good morning!

Pangram and genius so far. It's a sloggy one today, but fortunately short.

Last word yesterday was tippet; found all the words by noon.

prophylactic/caulk-cuck; tried the latter just for the heck of it; I don't know what it means--possibly a bleep word.

Two-fer already!

Happy solving, all!

cathwen

Good morning!

Beta with pangram, which was the first word I saw.  I agree, Langue_doc, this is sloggy.  Yesterday, my last words were expellee and tippet. 

LB:  I had the "official" hypocritical-luck.  I found a 2fer today, too.

Happy puzzling!

ciao_yall

Morning!

GwP and just 3fers here yesterday.

Let's see what today brings.

ab_grp

Good morning!

I have two more words, but husband's off to another doctor's appt, so I will wait for now.  Can't recall what my final word was yesterday.  Maybe tippet?

I also got the schmofficial solution yesterday.  Congrats on your 2fers today, Langue_doc (plus interesting and different answer yesterday!) and cathwen!

Have to restart my computer again.  Ugh!

Happy solving!

ab_grp

Got a 2fer!

But I gave up on the final two bee words and got assistance.  Good enough!

What's with the red? Did the powers-to-be change you from alkaline to acidic?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Good luck with today's bee.
