Good morning!
Not to genius yet, but at least the pangram came quickly. We had team QB yesterday, but I can't remember all the words I was missing. I'm sure it included lability, bait, vitally, viably.... I had to spend some time fixing a mistake with my car registration. Ugh!!
And no luck on LB! Maybe today. Good work on your 2fers yesterday and today, ciao_yall and Langue_doc (and yours made me hungry!).
Langue_doc, I noticed this morning that the new app feature with the rankings was gone again. So I guess they were just trying it out? I looked on Sam's twitter and didn't see anything. On the NYT Games twitter, I noticed it has a post about what's not allowed in the bee, including "anything too informal"... like wanna, gonna, dunno (was that in there)? Anyway, I haven't seen any mention of the brief change anywhere yet, which is kind of odd, but I'm probably just missing it. And I agree that it is super annoying to have to click past the genius achievement screen each time you return. That is what happens (kinda sorta, haha) when you get to QB, with more screens to click through to get to the word list. I wonder if they did that to make genius seem like more of a big deal given that it is supposed to be the top rank or winning rank or whatever. Previously, you'd get to genius and get the brief hooray and then just keep going (or not).
I will be taking husband to his cardiologist appt this afternoon (in the truck, not my car). Not sure if I will be going in with him or will have time for puzzling in the waiting room.
Happy solving!
