NYT Spelling Bee

Morning!

QBwH, last word horror. LB bough-hospitality.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

Got to genius with the pangram so far.  Yesterday we needed bee buddy for rowan.  I know I needed husband help for nonart because that's a nonstarter for me.

Finally got the schmofficial bough-hospitality after pursuing other contenders! Congrats, ciao_yall.

Langue_doc, it's a home sleep study, and I am planning to do it tomorrow night, if it ends up being a fairly normal day.  I want to do it on a weekend since we will have to turn off or disable all other bluetooth devices, and it turns out we have quite a few of them around in the bedroom between various trackers, headphones, etc.  I don't know how representative a night of sleep it will be if both of us have to make those adjustments, but I guess they know what they're doing.

And I'm so sorry that you were feeling off yesterday! Are you doing better today?

Happy solving!

Good morning!

QBwH yesterday, last words athwart, nonart. Today I am at genius with the pangram and I have a way to go.

LB: I also had bough-hospitality. I found a 2fer today also.

Langue_doc, I hope you are feeling better, and ab_grp, I hope the sleep study goes well!

Happy puzzling!

Morning!

QBWATHICG for gigue. LB purifying-gimlet.

Happy solving!

[cathwen]

Good morning!

QB with SBB help to find untuning. And I thought I had tried all the un- possibilities!

LB: fruit-temptingly. Congratulations on a different one, ciao_yall! Looks like a variety of possibilities this time.

Happy puzzling!

Good morning!

Got to genius with the pangram just now.  I had to check, and sure enough I had not gotten to genius yet, so I wanted to avoid the mistake I made yesterday of giving the wrong status at check in.  Yesterday I actually was nowhere near genius at the time, so I don't know what I was thinking, other than I was anxious about the dentist appointment.  I know I was holding off on doing more bee so I would have that to do in the waiting room, but despite me getting there early my new hygienist was ready for me! Anyway, I did finally get to genius and a bit past, and we ended up having team QB.  The only word I donated was gigue.  :-(

No luck on LB despite a lot of trying.  I had parts of your solutions but no matches.  Congrats, ciao_yall and cathwen!

Hopefully today will be a more relaxing and puzzle-filled day, though I just realized I have not even started the crossword yet.  I think I am still recovering a little from the covid vaccine (and still have a red and sore area there), and even getting up 15 minutes later than usual cuts into my puzzle time quite a bit.

Happy solving!

Afternoon!

QB. Last word was gigue, which took me ages to find, despite BB.

petrifying/glum; couldn't find a mate for gimlet, one of my favorite words.

Thanks, ab_grp and cathwen. I don't know what I had other than that I was wiped out the last couple of days with nothing else to show for it such as a temperature and other symptoms associated with getting a bug.

ab_grp, hope your recovery from the Covid vaccine is fast and smooth.

As for the crosswords, I thought that Tuesday's was unusually challenging for that day of the week. There's still Thursday's to complete, and I have to double-check today's which seems to have a typo.

Happy solving!

[ab_grp]

Congrats on your QB, Langue_doc! I think I still have about 6 words left.

I hope you are feeling better now? Thanks about the vaccine.  I am really almost 100% but just have some lingering mild symptoms.

And I agree about Tuesday's crossword! Definitely more tricky than usual for that part of the week.  I am not sure why it turned up there.  Good luck with yesterday's and today's.

Good morning!

Got to genius with the pangram so far.  Yesterday we had team QB, and again I only donated one word: lull.  LOL.  ;-)

No luck on LB yesterday, but I got a 2fer today!

Sleep test is done.  Whether it got the data it needed or not, I don't know, but I think we did everything in our power to try to make it happen, and we did not get good sleep (though I'm sure it's better than sleeping in a lab).  Good thing we did it on a weekend.  Should get some info in a couple days, I guess. 

Happy solving!

Good afternoon!

QBwH yesterday for my final three words: lunula, unclutch, lacuna (my last word). I'm at QB today.

LB: I had topknots-seriously and tokens-spuriously. I found a 2fer right off the bat this morning, which almost never happens.

Happy puzzling!

[ciao_yall]

Morning!

QBwG, last word halt. Got hints for linkup-polyester, keynotes-spuriously.

Happy solving!

[Langue_doc]

Afternoon!

Pangram and above genius. QB yesterday, last word was cannula.

slipknots/surety

Happy solving!

[ab_grp]

Good morning!

Got to past genius with pangram.  I think I have 3 or so words left.  Husband is down to 1.  Hopefully this will be like yesterday, where we each got QBABO! My final word was oozing.

And for LB I got the schmofficial hacking-glorious.  I feel like I'm close today.

Going to meet the youngest chucklehead for coffee later this morning.  We were up later than usual watching a longer movie, so I am dragging.  Definitely need to catch up on some sleep at some point.

Happy solving!

[cathwen]

Good morning!

Congratulations on QBABY, ab_grp! I needed a 1L nudge to find my last two words, dioxin and dodging. Today I just made QB.

LB: I also had hacking-glorious as well as glorious-shacking. After a bit of a struggle, I found one today also.

Enjoy coffee with your youngest "chucklehead"!

Happy puzzling!

[ciao_yall]

Morning!

GWP yesterday - saved QB for later with a friend I was going to see at a dinner party and we never got around to it.

LB - Lots of 3fers, 2fer b4ss and a few where it didn't take words I thought it should, such as kohls-surcharging, cloaking-grush.

Let's see how we do today. Already at GWP and 2fer b4ss.

Happy solving!
