NYT Spelling Bee

[cathwen]

Good morning!

QBwH yesterday for aargh (I had tried many variants to no avail), guar, and hurrah, my last word. Today I'm past genius with the pangram, which took me a long time to find.

LB: enjoyment-textspeak. I was amazed that the second word was accepted.

We had some excitement yesterday with the report of a large black bear wandering around our condo complex. I did not see it, but apparently there are photos and videos.

Happy puzzling!

QBwSBB last word vivified. LB champignons-suit.

Happy solving!

Good morning/afternoon!

QBw2LL for delve/d. Today I'm past genius with both pangrams.

LB: shotguns-scampi.

Happy puzzling!

Good day!

Got to genius plus with the pangrams so far.  Yesterday I finally crawled to QBABM with final word viol.  It took me forever to find the pangram!

No luck on LB, though I had some pieces that would have gotten me somewhere.  Maybe today.  Congrats on your solutions!

Happy solving!

Afternoon!

QB. Didn't get back to the bee yesterday, but found gunshots/shotguns-scampi.

Happy solving!

Morning!

QBw2LL last word ammonia.


LB found workflows-skintight, skinflint-throwing.

Happy solving!

Afternoon!

Pangrams and above genius. Last words yesterday were amnio and tannin.

skinflint/throwing--LB puzzle setters don't seem to know how to chose the best/most efficient answer when there are several solutions: right would have been more efficient than the official fright.

Happy solving!

Good day!

Two more words to go.  Yesterday we had team QB, but I needed help with amino, imitation.

I also had skinflint-throwing.

Happy solving!

Good afternoon! 

QB yesterday with a hint for monomania. Today, I'm at genius with all pangrams.

LB: I had skinflint-throwing. Found a quick 2fer today.

Happy puzzling!

Good morning!

Got to genius with pangram so far.  Yesterday we almost had team QB but needed bee buddy help for whiting.  I needed husband help with eighth.  Argh!  And he needed my help for one of the nines.  Seemingly difficult to remember all of them.

No luck on LB.  Maybe today!

Happy solving!

ETA: Got a 2fer!

[cathwen]

Good morning!

QBABM yesterday! Last word whingeing. Today I'm beyond genius with the pangram.

LB: empirical-laywomen.

Happy puzzling!

Good morning!

QB. QB yesterday--cathwen, great minds think alike as my last word was whingeing as well.

principal/laywomen

Happy solving!

Good morning!

I think I have only one word left today. QB yesterday, with tepee, teepee ending the list.

dayworker/receives--didn't think that the former was a legit word, but who knew!

Happy solving!

[ab_grp]

Good morning!

Getting there but earlier than usual morning for me with meeting (and bad sleep).  I will try to work on it later.  Yesterday we had team QB.  Not sure what I was missing.

For LB I had workdays-screwdriver.

Happy solving!

Morning!

QBwH for payee. LB dayworker-receives.

Happy solving!
