@nicollewallace.bsky.social love your show but producers need to prep guests re pronunciation. It’s beh-er County, not bexxahr. Uugghh.

I have a system. I get to genius and then I check the hints that say how many words start with each letter then I look at my word list and then I go to spelling bee buddy if I’m within 10. I don’t count it as cheating. It’s my free time to spend as I like.

I have gotten zero pangrams so far out of the 30+ words I have found, I see this awesome word, and it’s not in the word list? Mannnn….. #nytspellingbee

Someone’s got to get Sam out on a boat. #nytspellingbee @thegridkid

I’m doing more poorly on this one than any I can remember. Probably bc my brain is rotting from watching teenybopper Netflix skating drama w/my teenager as we wait out the cold. 🙄

Just because it’s unpleasant doesn’t mean it’s obscure. #nytspellingbee

So if 47 invades Greenland, doesn’t that mean that all of NATO would be defending Greenland? Do we want to send troops into that mess? (In addition to the obvious, i.e., that we shouldn’t try to annex Greenland anyway.)

I got the easiest word on like my 50th word entry.

“Bitterly cold.” “Frigid” sounds like what 47 would call a woman who doesn’t have children. Oh, wait. That’s not one of the 100 words in his vocabulary.

So if I give up 35 of my 37 pencils allotted under the China policy, what do I do with all the steel I’m buying with my pencil savings? Or will two pencils cost what 37 used to cost so our pencil budget just won’t stretch as far as it used to? Admittedly, I suck at economics. #37pencils

So they didn’t have many pencils…

And what was her message?

Hillary also lost because she ran a crappy campaign. I say this as a liberal Democrat.

The Dems indeed must hound the GOP on the bombings. 47 isn’t just morally corrupt. He doesn’t even know how corrupt he is. Even if he could, he doesn’t give serious thought to anything.

Not to mention mastitis. I fainted from the pain even though before that I was practically a cow. Everyone has their own situation. Generalizations are terrible.

Such an individual thing. Your body does it or it doesn’t. You can work around it at your job or not. There are a number of considerations and it certainly isn’t RFK Jr’s place to be talking about this like he has a clue, much less making any policy about it.

!! Sam…. #nytspellingbee

?? I don’t see how this is any more obscure than a lot of the other fish and fowl that make the list. And it’s such a cool-looking word! #nytspellingbee.

Hmmm. #nytspellingbee

I’m having an issue on iOS. Started playing and stopped and went back to it and had to start over and shows I have no stats.

UPenn professors have responded forcefully to the Trump administration's that colleges sign a "compact" in order to secure funding:

"When an invitation is accompanied by consequences for not accepting it, it is in fact a threat, not an invitation." aaup-penn.org/statement-by...

Well, this is obviously wrong. What on earth does @thegridkid #samezersky #thegridkid think they eat in the batcave on birthdays??! #nytspellingbee

“Undermines the dignity of others”? That’s exactly the kind of speech that is protected. Good lord.

Alas, I have all of your clues and am packing the last word. May have to resort to the dictionary!

Gonna raise this one again, #thegridkid #nytspellingbee

Sam…. #nytspellingbee

The M9 and not TONTINE? Hmmm. #nytspellingbee

“Dictator of the sofa” got me there even though the word I was missing was not part of your clue. 🙂

I am a progressive TX Dem, proud graduate of Richardson HS, graduate of a liberal university in the North, & I love TX & came back here on purpose. Sure, our governor is evil & the legislature has been bought by west TX oil. But we know how to get along with each other & tell it like it is. Yay KotH

I suspect that many people, unfortunately, do not find ONCOGENE to be obscure. #nytspellingbee.
