I don’t think unediting can be a word. How about unbending?
Hey we can make up our own game with that word. Let everyone start with that pangram. Choose a middle letter and let it rip.
I’m sure it doesn’t meet Sam’s exacting standards–I mean, it’s no ROMCOM, but:
UNEDITING has never come up, but UNEDIT has been rejected twice.
But they need that word, they can’t use STET because they don’t use s’s. Esses?
On the Saturday 11/23 Spelling Bee, am I correct in remembering that TENON has not been accepted before? Now it accepts both TENON and TENONED. Argh.
TENON has been accepted in all of the 30 puzzles in which it was a possible word. TENONED has been accepted both times it came up.
OK, then not tenon. There is some other woodworking term that it never accepts when I try it. Maybe DADO?
Yes, dado has always been rejected, which is probably why I didn’t even try tenon.
Neither DADO nor DIDO is accepted.
Yep, I gripe about this one a lot.
Yesterday was the first long list I’ve seen that didn’t involved -ED or -ING endings, and it made the puzzle more enjoyable, although there was one ridiculously obscure word it took me several clues to figure out. I mean “African game using seeds and stones” doesn’t really help much.
Also - although it didn’t really need more words - they missed out ACTINIC.
Today’s, on the other hand, is chockablock with -ED words. Ah well.
Feast or famine when it comes to word knowledge. That African game is the root mechanism in a fair number of modern board games, so it’s a word we hear semi-regularly.
Today is fun despite the ED. Though I put in BIGHEAD as a joke, and as often happens was surprised by a word being there, this time a pangram.
That one’s been a pangram before, the previous time with a B as index letter.
My kid learned it in kindergarten and proceeded to beat me nearly every time we played. Of course I didn’t think of it for the Spelling Bee.
Apparently I’m out of touch with the African game market.
Are you referring to the game of Saturday, November 30, 2024 and is the word you’re thinking of mancala? If not, which day and word are you referring to?
Today, Sunday, December 1, 2024, the word I got stuck on was “baaed”.
Yes. Never heard of it. I seem to be an outlier, judging from the responses.
Okay, because, yes, I remembered that word on my own. I got stuck on other words.
It’s been 2 1/2 years, but TOWHEE is back. Sigh. Just infrequent enough to completely forget.
Got that one totally by accident.
