The last few days have been such slogs that it was nice to be able to speed to Genius for a change.
Yeah, I bailed yesterday. I’m retired, and it felt like work.
I thought it would be a sprint straight to Queen but I was undone by unbuild.
After 8 appearances, they’ve removed CARIOCA.
It’s always fun to get to use RATATAT
I completed today’s Spelling Bee puzzle with few issues and reasonably quickly.
Today’s puzzle was basically too quick and easy.
As a non-subscriber who gets booted upon reaching ‘solid’, I entered exactly one word (albeit a pangram) and the game was over for me.
Haha! And, the PG couldn’t be any more obvious.
I found it pretty quickly and easily got to Genius. Maybe QB is a possibility without hints
Yes, pretty boring.
I also reached Queen Bee fairly quickly. Actually, I’ve done so for three days straight. Usually I need hints for the last two or three words, though I usually get to Genius on my own.
I came here to post that I’ve also had an easy, straightforward past 3 games. Does that mean a crazy difficult one coming up?
Here’s a gift link to John Hodgman’s column in this week’s NYT Magazine. On-topic for this thread:
Sam is apparently not Scottish, since he deprived us of a pangram today.
I tried that word. I only know of it because of Terry Pratchett, so it wasn’t a surprise it wasn’t accepted.
I tried that word as well.
BTW I achieved Queen Bee without hints, which was the case most of this week.
I know it’s a proper noun but I too tried it. Why not?
Still no GAMMON though.
I’ve only managed that twice but I mostly quit now after reaching Genius.
Spelling Bee has taught me that there are way fewer words that start with N than I would have guessed.
