I'm 8 shy of the 👑 but not sure it's doable. PGs late in the game.

🎓 on my own - multiple PGs get you there fast. But what about WOODYARD?

#nytspellingbee #nytsb #hivemind

Quick trip to Genius - puzzle only. Not going for the Gold, however.... 😃 🇺🇸

#hivemind #nytspellingbee #nytsb

If I claim "on my own" it means I looked at nothing but the puzzle. I'll look at word count, letter distrib. and PGs if "stuck", but am aware I'm "playing a relaxed game," so to speak. Hints beyond that is "cheating" & depends how impatient/curious I am - I'm busy! 😆 I wouldn't post those results. 😇

Boycotting the Bee today since NY Times wouldn't accept concomitant! Are you kidding, Sam? 😡

👑 -2 but now word blind. 🤪 Good luck everyone!

#nytspellingbee #hivemind #nytsb

Oh my, terrible to read this. Wishing her strength and health! Get some rest and forget about the Bee. 🙂 🙏

Some fun words today. OMO 🎓

I learned this word first year in grad school. GABION is sort of in the same camp with ADIT. If they are good enough for the NY Times to use them - why not in the Bee?????????

On my own 🎓 - will drink a toast from a CALICE. Not going further due to late hour. 🙂 At least it wasn't an -ING or -ED day! 🥰 🤸‍♂️😀

#nytspellingbee #hivemind #nytsb

Quick to 🎓 but no PG (found late). 👑 -1 forever; word was too fancy for me!

#nytspellingbee #nytsb #hivemind

🎓 ABM and PG first. Good start to the day!

🎓 GABM - we've had some unusual PGs lately, right? Not words in my lexicon, like DOGPILE. It remains confusing to me which words get to have prefixes like UN- and NON- 🤪 so I just keep guessing and sometimes get lucky. 🙄

#nytsb #nytspellingbee #hivemind

Oh, shocker! 🥰

#nytspellingbee #hivemind #nytsb

GABM - PG won the 🎓

#nytspellingbee #hivemind #nytsb

PGs 🙄 word 17/18. 🎓 on my own. Why no PEDI (or mani) but Sam allows CAMI, short for camisole? Also, not preferred spelling but IDEOLOG is a word.
