Good afternoon!

Morning!

QB-1 ABM then, needed the grid and a wild guess for kudu.

LB brawl-lightened.

Happy solving!

[ab_grp]

Good morning!

Somewhere past genius, but I think I only have one pangram.  Yesterday I got to QBABM with a total guess on kudu.  Took me forever to find that.

For LB I had wreathing-gabled.  Congrats on so many, Langue_doc!! I got another one today!

Happy solving!

Good morning!

Past genius with both pangrams today, but a way to go. QBABM yesterday with my last words, nunchuck/nunchuk.

LB: I had brawl-lightened. Congratulations, Langue_doc, on finding so many combinations!

Happy puzzling!

[Langue_doc]

Good morning!

Pangram and above genius. Missed ablate, oblate, and boatel. Boatel?!

flipchart/tribes

Happy solving!

[ciao_yall]

Morning!

QBwSBB for boatel, belate. Agreed. What????

LB febrile-earthscape.

Happy solving!

[cathwen]

Good morning!

Genius with pangram so far today. Yesterday I got boatel (???) by accident, but pleb was my last word.

LB: No luck yesterday! Congratulations, Langue_doc and ciao_yall!

Happy puzzling!

[ab_grp]

Good day!

Somewhere past genius with pangram.  Yesterday we also needed bee buddy for boatel.  I know it's been in there at least once before, but I don't think it's one that will ever come to mind unprompted.  Of course, as soon as it does it will go the way of telnet, landau.

For LB I had another one, birthplaces-safe. 

Happy solving!

[ciao_yall]

Morning!

QBwALTHICG for poinciana or however you spell it. New word, obviously! LB nudge for ubiqutous-shrewd.

Happy solving!

[Langue_doc]

Good morning!

QB and a quick twofer.

Missed anionic, canopic, and cioppino (had good intentions of looking up the spelling, but never got around to it). Manioc wasn't accepted--the bee makes up its own idiosyncratic rules on why certain words are excluded while other more obscure words are accepted.

Happy solving!

[ab_grp]

Good day!

Somewhere past genius, no pangram.  Husband is in the same boat.  Congrats on QB, Langue_doc! Hopefully that bodes well for us.  Yesterday we missed the same one as ciao_yall and needed bee buddy help plus bee community help.

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

Happy solving!

[Langue_doc]

Good morning!

Pangram and above genius. Last word was lifetime. I too was unaware of poinciana--this was the reason for my vent yesterday.

chimp/provident (chomp would have worked as well)

Happy solving!

[ciao_yall]

Morning!

QBw2LL to realize I was missing felt.

LB improvement-trenched, improvident-thence.

Happy solving!
