NYT Spelling Bee

Plodded up to 83, but haven't found the pangram yet.

I haven't found it either.

[ab_grp]

It took me a long time to get the pangram, too.  But a weird coincidence (?) helped.  We ended up getting all but two words.  It's tough with that y in the middle!

Yeah, I'm at 85 and pangramless for the time being.

[Parasaurolophus]

Finally got the pangram. Don't think I can attempt QB, given the commitment to watching election returns live. (Why we do it, I don't know.)

[Langue_doc]

I don't think I'm destined to get the pangram tonight. Must be the election related brain fog.

[Langue_doc]

Found it.  Made it to QB.

The coincidence (?) I was talking about yesterday was that the pangram and at least two other words were answers in the main crossword.  I don't think there is too much crossover in staff working on those, so maybe it was just meant to be.  If I hadn't just done the crossword, I definitely do not think I would have figured out the pangram for a long while, and probably only then from the trying random letters approach.

Today has been pretty easy so far, but I'm sure I will be eating those words soon.  Still 23 points from genius, plus we had to get up early.

Today's isn't too bad. I found two pangrams which put me slightly above genius.

That's interesting about the crossword.

I got one of them. :)

Interesting that it won't accept 'chiral.'

Sometimes I find the same clues across multiple crosswords for a few weeks - like the word is in the zeitgeist or something. Then it goes away.

I'm sure you'll find the other!

Still struggling along to genius.  Five more points to go.  Coffee does not seem to be helping today.

[Langue_doc]

I just found the third one.

[ab_grp]

I don't know if I'm happy or not to hear that there is another pangram hiding in the forest.
