Heh.
Accepted today: FART
Not accepted: TURD
Right? Why wasn’t your second word accepted??
Yup.
…
I mean, we all tried it.
For sure. I even tried it twice, thinking perhaps I misspelled it (I’m a touch typist). First time in forever that I didn’t have to consult the clues to finish, so I’m happy with that.
Today was somewhat annoying. I’d gotten all but one 4-letter word and I didn’t want to go to the hints just for that. The best solutions are those without hints and I surely could get a single four-letter word, right? So I was trying all kinds of potential words without success. Until I remembered there are a few accepted words, or maybe just this one, without vowels.
Well, it goes with FART.
I didn’t even have to unspoil to know exactly what that is.
What a funny omission: OXIDANT is to OXIDATION, as ANTIOXIDANT is to…?.
I definitely tried that!
ANNATTO and DOODAD are my bugaboos.
Mine too (along with MENTEE).
A quick run to Genius today, but still plowing onward.
Yes, a quick jaunt without any 4LW, going to stop there.
Two days in a row getting to QB without clues or hints. I’ve done this before a couple times, but never had three in a row. So going for three tomorrow.
Yeah, I know I’m jinxing it by announcing it, but I’m not superstitious. And it didn’t help not announcing it the previous time, so there’s that.
Tomorrow will end up being one of those monsters with UN and ING, and you’ll have to try every combination of UN and a word to see what Sam considers an acceptable negative.
200 points for Genius, and there is a U and N! No -ing though. Good luck!
I’m already at 252 points, but QB is 290. Have not found any words beginning wtih U yet.
Uncial, but it’s not accepted.
That was one of the first words I tried. I think it’s been accepted previously, but I could be misremembering.
I feel like responding either way is a spoiler, so I’ll spoiler my response either way: UNCUT for sure.
