NYT Spelling Bee

[ab_grp]

Good morning/afternoon!

Haven't gotten too far today, almost to genius with the pangram.  Yesterday I was also foiled by tinfoil.  We had team QB, though.

For LB, I had anthemized-dory (or -dormitory), so one or two more solutions for the mix.  Congrats on another one today, cathwen, and I hope you get your final bee word!

Happy solving!

Blah, fell a few short.

[Langue_doc]

Good morning!

Pangram and genius so far.

Last word yesterday was ennui; this word, along with epee, tonne, belle, and a few others hides until the very end.

As for the previous puzzle, I found tinfoil early on--must have seen the word spelt as a single word somewhere.

markings/salutary; masks/singularity

Happy solving, all!

QBwH, all ones I should have already gotten but my brain just wasn't there. As in, my last word was linen. Gah.

LB lurking-gymnast and the awesome b4ss muskrat-tingly which just had to be shared.

Happy solving!

[Parasaurolophus]

Quick GWP for me this morning.

[cathwen]

Good morning!

Genius with pangram this morning.   Yesterday, my last word was julienne. 

LB:  I had the "official" lurking-gymnast.  Ciao_yall, I like your b4ss pair! 

No 2fer yet today.  We'll see...

Happy puzzling!

ETA:  Found a 2fer!

[ab_grp]

Good morning!

Didn't really get started yet but will get to it later.  I think julienne, jell, lieu were last words for me.

No luck on LB despite a lot of trying! No matter the contender, I seemed to keep having the same general set of letters left with no idea of what to do with them.  Congrats on your solutions (and near solution, ciao_yall) and on another today, cathwen!

Happy solving!

[ciao_yall]

Morning!

QBwH and a new word curacy. For LB I had bulk-kryptonite.

Dinner party tonight so got some potchin' to do. But first, coffee and puzzles.

Happy solving!

[Langue_doc]

Good morning!

222 points so far--I need just two or three more words, one of which is the pangram.

Missed curacy; didn't have the motivation or energy to complete the puzzle last night; I thought I had entered harry, but not so, according to the bee.

Happy solving, all!

[cathwen]

Good morning!

Curacy was my last word yesterday, too.  A new one for my Bee list!

I have three words left to find in today's puzzle, including the pangram.

LB:  I also had bulk-kryptonite.  I have a 2fer today as well.

We had to be up early today to await an Xfinity repair person.  Nothing works—internet, TV, phone (we still have a landline).  It appears that a line has been cut somewhere outside.  A truck is here and the line specialist is working on it.  Our cell service is still fine, so we are not cut off from the outside world.  So that is today's little drama!

Happy puzzling!

[ab_grp]

Good morning/afternoon!

Not too far into the bee yet, as I had been concentrating on the crossword.  I don't have the pangram yet, either.  Curacy, accuracy were two of my final words yesterday.  Definitely needed some help. 

And no luck with LB.  Congrats on your solutions! And on another today, cathwen!

Enjoy your dinner party, ciao_yall! and I hope your internet gets restore quickly, cathwen!

We found out that husband has to go back to work on site 5 days/week starting Monday, so we are trying to figure out some suitable and easy lunches to take along.  But at least we got through graduation #2 for our youngest.  I think everyone is glad that the ceremonies are over.  At least the high school ceremony was way more organized than the community college ceremony.  We are very proud but are looking forward to more informal celebrations!

Happy solving!

[Langue_doc]

Congrats, ab_grp, on the graduations!
cathwen, hope your devices are now working.
ciao_yall, enjoy your dinner and company.

I'm taking it easy, so might not get to the crossword or complete the bee. Took a much-needed long nap, and now have to think about a major spring cleaning project.

[ab_grp]

Thank you Langue_doc! I hope you enjoy the nap now and that the spring cleaning goes well when that takes place.

Finally got the crossword done and got to genius with 6 words left, but still no pangram!

And I got a 2fer!

[Parasaurolophus]

Genius, but no pangram.

[ab_grp]

Good morning!

Not quite to genius but have the pangrams and am working on the crossword.  Yesterday I finally found the pangram quickly right after complaining to my husband that I couldn't find it.  After the fact, I wasn't sure why it was so tough for all of us! I think my final word was felid, but feel was not far behind, unfortunately.

For LB, I got fundamental-loiter, which I kind of thought might be schmofficial, but I guess not.

Happy solving!
