It wasn't too difficult. Put on your academic hats, and you'll all spot it.

I also got a 1fer! 

[ab_grp]

Count me in for the 1fer as well! Yay! I wonder if that will be the schmofficial solution.  Maybe I'll try to find a 2fer as well if I get time.  That was exciting, though.

GWP.

[Langue_doc]

Good morning!

Pangram and above genius. Missed dietetic and eidetic--I think I've seen both before.

lexicography--woohoo!

Happy solving!

[cathwen]

Good morning!

Yesterday dietetic and eidetic were also my last words, found with 2LL hints.  Today I am at Alpha with five words to go.

LB:  I also had lexicography!  No 2fer yet today.  I thought I had one, but then noticed that one letter was unused.  Back to square 1!

Happy puzzling!

[Parasaurolophus]

Quick GWP this morning.

[ciao_yall]

QBwATHICG for eidetic. And lexicography - I recall it was once almost a solution, b4ss.

Happy solving!

[ab_grp]

Good morning!

Got to genius with pangram pretty easily today also.  Yesterday I was missing a few words such as deice(d), indecent, dietetic, eidetic.  Ugh! We did have team QB, at least.

Also got lexicography! I guess that's what all the buzz on Twitter was about that I should have paid attention to earlier.  I see there was a 2fer solution provided, but I never did find a mate for geographic(al), and I certainly don't think I would have found calyx.

Cathwen, I hope your visit went well or is still going well if it's still ongoing!

Happy solving!

[ab_grp]

Whew, finally got a 2fer after a lot of tries.  And I'm down to 3 words on the bee but am currently stuck again.

[Langue_doc]

Good morning!

Pangrams and well above genius so far. Last word yesterday was cabala, which I've seen umpteen times before.

prefaced/division

NYT Games has been eerily silent about the onefer.

Happy solving!

ETA: QB--familiar words all, and twofer.

[ciao_yall]

Morning! QBwH to remember allele. LB provisioned-deface, prefaced-division, preface-envisioned.

Quick 2fer this morning and so, back to the bee.

Happy solving!

[cathwen]

Good morning!

QBABM yesterday!  Last word was blah.  Today I have only a few words to go.

LB: I also had prefaced-division.  I found one today, but not quickly, like ciao_yall!

Happy puzzling!

[ab_grp]

Good morning!

Got to genius with the pangrams pretty quickly.  Congrats on your QBABY, Langue_doc! Yesterday I almost had QBABM but couldn't find the last word (allele, again!!) by the time we quit and compared.  We did have team QB at least.  Congrats on your QBABY, cathwen!

For LB, I had faced-disproven, which I think is a new one to the list.  Tons of solutions! Congrats on so many, ciao_yall! And congrats on all your 2fers today! I haven't looked yet but hope it is as easy for me.  I guess I am also surprised not to have seen more hullabaloo about the onefer!

Happy solving!
