Good morning!

Two pangrams and above genius. Last word yesterday was unhinging--found the two oddballs much earlier.

buckshot/target

Happy solving!

Morning!

QB, needed the 2LL for gigging even though, like Langue-doc I remembered the two oddballs from a previous puzzle.

LB - just 2fer b4ss. breakthrough-scab, boughs-stacker, touchbacks-surge, egret-touchbacks.

Oh well, happy solving!

Good morning!

QB with 1L hints for nunchuck...then I remembered nunchuck as well.   Today I am above genius with both pangrams, but running out of steam.

LB:  I had bucks-shortages.  I found a 2fer today also. 

Happy puzzling!

Good morning!

Got the pangrams and to a bit past genius.  Yesterday I needed help with hinging, hung, and all the un- words.

No luck on LB, either.  Congrats on all your solutions and on another today, cathwen!

Happy solving!

Parasaurolophus

One pamgram, still far from genius.
I know it's a genus.

Good morning!

Pangram and genius, but that's probably it for today. Last word yesterday was tallit--was quite pleased with having found netizen quite early.

Happy solving!

ETA: found a twofer!

ciao_yall

Morning!

QBwH, not a fast brain yesterday for some reason. Last words were tanzanite, titan. Did get netizen though.

LB boutique-empowered.

Happy solving!

cathwen

Good morning!

Tanzanite and netizen were my last two words yesterday, found with hints.  Today I have one 5L word to go, and cannot imagine what it can be.

LB:  I also had boutique-empowered, but no 2fer yet today!  Congratulations, Langue_doc, on having found one!

I'm convalescing from my usual post-vaccine reaction.  I had a flu shot two weeks ago, and yesterday had the new Covid shot, and both times I have had overnight chills, muscle aches, and a high fever.  This morning I am merely achy and a little woozy.  I know it will be over soon—maybe even by this afternoon.  Better than the flu or Covid, though, in any case.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

Got to genius with pangram so far.  Yesterday we had team QB again.  I was missing tanzanite, titillate, tain.  I don't recall the latter word being in there before but could be wrong.  And where did attaint go now that I remembered that one?!

I had empowered but couldn't get the mate yesterday.  Congrats, ciao_yall and cathwen! And congrats on yours today, Langue_doc!

Cathwen, I hope your side effects go away soon.  Don't go jumping around in the meantime! ;-) At least we get used to the expected recovery over time, I guess.  Definitely better than covid or the flu! Husband got his covid and flu shots on Monday and again had no trouble except for being a little worn down.  I just saw that you only have one bee word left, so good luck!

Happy solving!

Or zumba! Hope you're feeling better and free of the side effects.

As for tain, I don't think I've seen it before; got it by trying different letter combinations. It apparently refers to the tinfoil that is used as a backing for mirrors.

cathwen

Tain probably comes from étain, 'tin' in French, since it involves tinfoil.  It must have been in a previous Bee at some point, because it is in my list of Bee words. So is attaint, but that was rejected yesterday.

Don't worry, no jumping around for me today!  : )

Parasaurolophus

Blah, I've fallen just short again. I'll try to finish in the morning.
I know it's a genus.

Made it, phew! On to today's!

ciao_yall

QBwH and a new word that I probably keep forgetting annular.

LB - just 2fer b4ss and 3fers. Close-ish with foundations-shark but oh well.

Happy solving!

ab_grp

Good morning!

Hurrah, Parasaurolophus, and good luck!

Made it to genius with the pangram plus a little so far.  Yesterday we had team QB.  He needed raja, and I needed llano.  Guess it's been a while for that one.

Lots of attempts at LB but no luck.  I did not have either part of the schmofficial solution.  Maybe today I will get a 2fer!

Happy solving!
