NYT Spelling Bee drives me crazy

I’m blown away they’re not allowing HOLOCENE today. I mean, I know they hate geology and related disciplines, but this is the freakin’ era the whole planet is in now, and has been for ten thousand years! (Yes, I know about the Anthropocene).

I tried that too. I think because it’s typically capitalized.

Ah, okay - that makes sense.

That would have been in yesterday’s game. Have you updated the page today?

I guess gibbet was too archaic for today.

Thanks. My wife always gets us started, and then I finish us off to “genius.” We were a day behind. We haven’t quite gotten to genius with today’s…still need ten points.

Yup. Plus its gerund.

And crows!

Something’s wrong with the Bee. The stats are missing. When I first started, shortly after mdinight here (3 a.m. EDT is midnight on the left coast), it still had yesterday’s letters up. I reloaded and new letters came up, but the history is missing.

It wasn’t a very hard set of letters. I got a natural QB in about 20 minutes. But I’m wondering if I’ll get credit for it once the history gets restored. Or possibly there will be a different set of letters put up later. That’s happened before.

wtf. I got around twelve points short of QB, went off to do something else, and when I came back it to it it had all zeroed out. I’m not sure how much I want to go fill all that back in.

The Yesterday results gives the list but doesn’t show which i found. Stats is still not displaying.

My wife’s device and mine didn’t sync while we were playing, and the Spelling Bee Buddy isn’t showing any of the words I’ve gotten. We’ve tried logging out of our NYT account and back in. No help.

When I finally decided I had given it all I had today, and opened up the hints, I was one word shy of Queen Bee, missing only ghee. I always miss that one.

Yes, it’s broken today. Normally I use Spelling Bee Buddy to track my progress but it doesn’t seem to think I’m logged in. So I got to Queen Bee on my phone without the Buddy, but now that I’m on my computer, the puzzle is completely unsolved. And I even had a pangram first.

AWS is reporting outages, I’m sure lots of things are down this morning.

I’m sure that lots of things are down, but I had a streak going and don’t want that interrupted.

Seems to be fixed now as far as yesterday’s results being ready. Not sure how stats are affected.

My Spelling Bee Buddy synced on the NYT website, but not in the app.

The app also wouldn’t load the Connections pzzle, but the website did.

I still see no stats, and a result list that doesn’t indicate which words I used yesterday. I did today’s Bee and screenshot my words in case I lose them when it’s fixed.

Yes, it shows everything I had last night but now it knows who I am. As far as stats, I don’t have the numbers for most of them memorized, but I’m pretty sure it gave me credit for a Pangram First.
