Good morning!

QBwH for last word, tomtit, which I have gotten many times before! Argh! Genius with pangram today, only a couple of words to go.

LB: No luck yesterday! I was hoping for a match with biosciences, but alas. I did get a 2fer today, though.

Happy puzzling!

Good morning!

I think I have 2 words left today.  Fingers crossed! Yesterday I got to QBABM with final word ammo

We went out to dinner with friends, so I didn't get more time on LB yesterday.  I did have syncope.  Argh! Congrats!

Happy solving!

Good morning!

Above genius, but no pangram yet. Last word yesterday was puli.

armpit/thoughtful--didn't think that this would be the official solution as a couple of letters were repeated.

Happy solving!

ETA: Found the pangram and also a two-fer--just made up a word with the remaining letters and was surprised to see that it was actually a word!

Good morning!

QB yesterday; I got puli by accident, but my last word was bulb. Genius with pangram today.

LB: mugful-lithograph.

Happy puzzling!

Morning!

QBABM last word bubbly. LB armful-lithograph.

Good morning!

Somewhere past genius with pangram again.  Yesterday I got to QBABM with final word clubby.

For LB I actually got a 2fer: impart-thoughtful.  Congrats on your solutions! And I got another one today! Finally.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

Pangram and genius. Last words were royalty, loyalty.

extrapolates/snib, then please/extrapolate

snib, according to one of the online dictionaries.

Happy solving!

ciao_yall

Morning!

QBwSBB, last word tarry.

LB extrapolates-snib as well, which I also thought I made up and looked up a definition.

I challenge us all to use the word snib as often as we can today a d report back on the results.

Happy solving!

Good morning!

QBw2LL, last word altar. QB today.

LB: probabilities-sexton.

Game on! I will have occasion to use the word snib at least twice today.

Happy puzzling and snibbing!

Good day!

Got to a bit past genius with pangram but am struggling at this point.  Yesterday we had team QB.  I needed help with attaboy, batboy, tallboy.  Hmm.

For LB I had extrapolates-sibilant.  Congrats on your solutions! I will try to use snib, but it will have to be for a door as we don't really tend to open windows here.  I shall endeavor to use it today. 

Happy solving!

Morning!

QBwG last word linguini. LB needed a nudge for waltz-zirconiumwhich is driving me batty because zirconium is one of my go-to "z" words and for some reason I didn't see it.

Oh well. Happy solving!

Langue_doc

Good morning!

Pangram and above genius. Didn't get to complete the bee yesterday--turns out that the only word left was unliving, which I wouldn't have found anyway.

Easy waltz/zirconium, but not very original (unlike gambow).

Happy solving!

cathwen

Good morning!

QBw2LL for last word, diddling. Genius with pangram today, three words to go.

LB: Yet another waltz-zirconium.

Happy puzzling!

ab_grp

Good morning!

One more word to go today.  Fingers crossed.  Yesterday we both needed help for vigil.

I also had waltz-zirconium, though the latter took me forever to find! I have another one today, though! Woohoo.

Happy solving!

Langue_doc

Good morning!

Pangram and above genius. Last word was unground.

clunkier/rambled

Happy solving!
