NYT Spelling Bee

Good morning!

QB--the pangram was my last word. Missed arancini, attractant yesterday.

jumpsuit/tenable

Happy solving!

Morning!

QBwH for arancini. They used to not take that.

LB kept getting really close such as jumps-sustainable, saw suitable, tenable, but finally got a hint to find jumpsuit-tenable. Darn compounds.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

Got to somewhere past genius with pangram so far.  Yesterday was another bad bee day.  I was excited to see arancini in there, finally! I keep trying it, and I know others have complained.

At least I got jumpsuit-tenable right away!

Happy solving!

Morning!

QBw2LL, last word athwart. LB got a nudge for flatbread-dough - compounds again! Gah. Quick 2fer this morning.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

QBwSBB for ratatat and athwart, my last word. Today I'm at genius with the pangram.

LB: No luck! I saw dough and bread, but did not see flatbread! No 2fer yet today. Congratulations on a quick one, ciao_yall! It gives me hope.

Happy puzzling!

Afternoon!

Pangram and above genius. Last word yesterday was tartar.

doubtful/laughter

I've had good intentions of posting my bird sightings on the bird thread, will do so later.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

Past genius with pangram so far.  I think the pangram took me a bit today.  Also took me a bit yesterday, and even longer the day before! What the heck! Anyway, yesterday I almost got to QBABM but apparently couldn't find tartar.  At least we had team QB.

No luck on LB.  Among the thousand words I found, I managed to find dough, bread, and flatboard, but not the answer.  Sounds like cathwen had a similar issue.  How does this happen?! Congrats on already getting one today, ciao_yall!

Happy solving!

On preview: congrats on getting a different 2fer yesterday, Langue_doc!

Good morning!

QB. QB yesterday--last words were fulfill, fulfilled.

hairgrips/stricken

Isn't Chapstick a brand name and hence a proper noun?

Happy solving!

[ciao_yall]

Morning!

QBw2LL, last word felid which was kind of a wild guess. LB pageants-shicker.

@Langue_doc agree about chapstick being a brand name, but maybe it has achieved proprietary eponym status?

Happy solving!

[cathwen]

Good morning!

QBw2LL for duffel and felled (annoying, because I thought I had tried -ed on all possible words). Today I got to QBABM! But it did take me a long time to find the pangram.

LB: I'm having a run of bad luck on this. Thanks to a hint, I got thickener-repackages. And I was also surprised at chapstick.. No 2fer yet today. Sigh.

Happy puzzling!

Good morning!

Somewhere past genius with pangram so far.  Yesterday I almost made it to QBABM again but gave up on my final word.  And we didn't get team QB because husband was missing the same word.  Bee buddy helped us to get fluid.  :-(

No luck on LB yet again! I agree, I would have thought chapstick would have been considered a proper noun.  Congrats on your solutions!

Happy solving!

Did the Bee while I should have been sleeping.  Made it to QBw2LL+grid.  I have a vague sense of deja vu, like the pangram(s) appeared in a previous puzzle -- but maybe I'm misremembering.  Is there an easily searchable archive of Spelling Bee letter combos somewhere?

Good morning!

Pangram and above genius. That's probably it for today. Last word was malady.

Happy solving!

[ciao_yall]

Morning!

QBABM, last word myna. LB needed a hint for veranda-azimuth.

Happy solving!

[cathwen]

Good morning!

QBABM yesterday, last word amyl. Today I'm at genius with the pangram.

LB: Finally found one today! But yesterday was the third day in a row that I couldn't find a 2fer by myself. I finally went to hints to find veranda-azimuth.

Happy puzzling!
