NYT Spelling Bee for October 9 (Spoilers!)

The_Other_Waldo_Pepper · October 9, 2020, 1:31pm

Got to have an “n”. Clonic?

RitterSport · October 9, 2020, 1:37pm

No, but clonal works. And anon.

The_Other_Waldo_Pepper · October 9, 2020, 1:46pm

Avionic?

The_Other_Waldo_Pepper · October 9, 2020, 1:47pm

Avian!

The_Other_Waldo_Pepper · October 9, 2020, 1:52pm

Clavian!

The_Other_Waldo_Pepper · October 9, 2020, 2:02pm

Convivial!

RitterSport · October 9, 2020, 2:36pm

Convivial is the second pangram!

Avian was the only other one from those four that the NY Times accepts.

ETA: We’re one point away from Genius, but still 14 words short of all of them.

ETA2: “Colonial” gets us to Genius. Still 13 more words

The_Other_Waldo_Pepper · October 9, 2020, 3:43pm

Convo?

RitterSport · October 9, 2020, 4:13pm

No to “convo”

RitterSport · October 9, 2020, 7:25pm

When I figure out how to use spoiler tags, I’ll put in the missing 13 words. Some were really easy, some I don’t know.

RitterSport · October 9, 2020, 7:34pm

Nope, that’s not it. Grrr.

RitterSport · October 9, 2020, 7:44pm

OK, I give up. I’ll put the words in later without spoiler tags.

The_Other_Waldo_Pepper · October 9, 2020, 8:38pm

Well, you have the . . . conn.

RitterSport · October 9, 2020, 9:03pm

Here’s the list of names we missed:

CANCAN
CANNA
CANONIC
CIVILIAN
CLINICIAN
COCOON
COLCANNON
INCIVIL
LLANO

Thanks for the help! See you next time the Genius score is super high.
