NYT Spelling Bee

[cathwen]

Good morning!

QBABM yesterday, last word agape. Congratulations on QBABY, ab_grp! Today I have both pangrams and am a bit beyond genius.

LB: I had goofy words whose acceptance surprised me: redoubtably-yike. Eyebrows went up to my hairline, but who am I to complain. I found a 2fer fairly easily today with normal words.

Happy puzzling!

Good morning!

QB--whew! Last word yesterday was oompah. Congrats all on your QBs and twofers.

cathwen, I too came up with redoubtably/yike, but took it in stride, knowing well the vagaries of the puzzle setting process. Yikes, indeed!

[ab_grp]

Congrats on your QBs and 2fers, cathwen and Langue_doc! I had deliberately, doubletake, redoubtable, yolker, and others and thought at least one would work out! Got close with some combos.  I'm glad you found a solution that worked, even if we are left to scratch our heads about it.  It's always worth a try.

How else would I find words for the bee?😊 I associate redoubtably/redoubtable with detective novels of yore, for reasons that elude me.

Good morning!

Pangram and above genius. Last word was faucet. I think I had a twofer, but will have to review the puzzle to see what I found. I've been too distracted by Quordle and Blossom to pay much attention to LB.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

QBwH to find actuate, faucet, tactual, and lacteal, my last word. Today I have all three pangrams, but a good way to go yet.

LB: I had the "official" watchful-liver. No 2fer yet today.

Happy puzzling!

Morning!

Busy day yesterday so just made it to Genius, Wordle, Connections and a little fooling around with LB.

Feels incomplete...

Good morning!

I have two pangrams and am past genius, but I still have a ways to go! Yesterday was a total failure on puzzles.  I don't know what happened to the time.  We had a bunch of words we needed help from bee buddy with that are just kind of oh come on kind of words, like calculate, lettuce, along with acetal, lacteal.  Ugh.

I tried on LB when I had time and thought I had some good contenders but just couldn't make anything work.  Congrats, cathwen! And I am annoyed by some b4ss today, so hopefully something will make sense at some point.

Langue_doc, sounds like just another good reason to read detective novels! And I don't think I have heard of Blossom but am assuming it's another game.  Sorry if you have mentioned it before! I do recall Quordle.

Happy solving!

ab_grp, good luck on finding the rest of the words in today's bee. Made it to QB.

Here's the link for Blossoms. Try it with and without the music, and then decide which format you prefer.

Good morning!

50 words so far. QB yesterday, with bobbled at the end.

Happy solving!

Morning!

Didn't make QB - by the time I got to bed it was after midnight. That's usually when I go through and find my last words. And just a 3fer czarina-adoringly-yak, zonal-licking-grody.

Slow start this morning. But the NYT has been delivered so reading and coffee awaits!

Happy solving!

Good afternoon!

QBwH, last word boodle. Today I am at genius with the pangram, but have ten words to go.

LB: No luck yesterday! I have a 2fer today, though.

Langue_doc, I think that Blossoms will become part of my game repertoire. Thanks for the link!

Happy puzzling!

[ab_grp]

Good morning!

Past genius with the pangram (finally!).  Yesterday I almost made it to QB but needed help with oblong, which I feel like I always miss.  Argh! I don't know how I missed belonged for so long but got the other two.  Congrats, Langue_doc!

No luck on LB! Guess that was a tough one.  Glad you got one today, cathwen!

Langue_doc, thanks for the Blossoms puzzle! I had not seen that before.  I tried todays and have been working my way backward.  I scored better after I read the instructions.  ;-)  It's interesting that it's similar to the bee but involves some strategy.  Definitely enjoying it!

Happy solving!

Good morning!

QB. Missed anionic, indicia.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

QBwH for macadamia and monomaniac, my last word. Today I'm at QB-1 and hoping for inspiration.

LB: locksmith-hijab.

Happy puzzling!
