The last pangram? Wasn’t there only one?
I was intentionally vague to not spoil the number of pangrams
Sorry.
No PILLY today? I’d say it’s just as much a word as FRATTY, which was accepted the other day.
What’s wrong with MUON? Or MOULE?
10/12 SB:
Why isn’t TILLABLE accepted?
Yeah, I was wondering that myself.
Yes, MUON for sure. I always type it in anyway, just in case. I’m pretty much OK with MOULE being excluded though.
The problem with ABLE is I’m never sure to which words ABLE will addable – if that’s a word. I end up typing a bunch of plausible words that get me nowhere.
(That reminds me, if I and A and BLE are all there, it just makes things worse.) Which words are -able, and which are -ible. It depends. On what? The spelling! Silly language.
I type in anything that could be vaguely -ABLE. Sometimes I’m surprised.
There’s no harm in trying everything to see what’s ABLEable because god knows what Sam likes. And while we are on the subject, why not CALCABLE?
Why not
ABATEABLE
ABETTABLE
ABLATEABLE
BAILABLE
BAITABLE
BALLABLE
BELTABLE
BITEABLE
BLABBABLE
LIBELLABLE
or
TABLEABLE
in addition to the few ____ABLE words they did allow? How do they decide which verbs are _____ABLE?
And why not BETTA, which is one of the more popular tropical fish that people keep in aquariums? I’ve never had an aquarium, and I know that.
Anyone else get their badge for Pangram First (100)? Hmm, apparently the Pangram First badges come in increments of 25, since the stats popup has both the PF100 and a PF125 for the next target.
BTW, is there a way to see all one’s badges without downloading the app? I’m doing this on my laptop and I don’t know if the app would even work on it.
I’ve got 150 pangrams first, and I’m heading for 200 Queen Bees.
Click on “Stats” at the top right.
You have me beat there, but I have just a few more QBs than that.
That doesn’t give all the badges, just three and one of those is an upcoming one for Halloween.
Thanks, I didn’t know. I haven’t concerned myself too much with badges. I don’t need no… never mind.
Well, I don’t really care that much about badges. I just wanted to see how many different ones there are.
If I’m up late (after midnight, which is when the new game drops here in the Pacific Time Zone), I usually do half-hour to an hour worth of Spelling Beeing. That usually gets all the easy words and some of the harder ones (enough to get Genius). Last night was one of those nights. And then I got a natural QB in about a half hour. That’s happened before, but isn’t at all common. But then I don’t have the Bee to drop into for the rest of the day between other things.
I’m on the way to 35 pangrams first while I’ve got over 500 Queen Bees. (I only started to look for the pangrams first once they created badges for it, which is why the number is so low.)
TIL that one of the badges is count of words with 10+ letters
The lack of EMBOLIZE (or to a lesser extent, EMBOLI), annoyed me today. (spoiled for no reason, I guess)
