?? 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.

Got me my last word yet again!

The latter

This is going to be happening all over the country.

Hand to go back to college literature class for that last one.

Is the T5 new to the list? I thought I remembered it being rejected before but maybe that was the French version that ends with an E. #nytspellingbee

The less-common A7 is new to the word list. Way to go, Sam! #nytspellingbee

And 🐈‍⬛🐈

My go-to when I’m stuck!

There was a replacement puzzle. Some technical issue.

Same. I’m in bee #2 for the day now too.

Is it just me getting the wrong letters on the Hints page? #nytspellingbee

Rubio’s not that smart and isn’t charismatic. He’d never get elected.

Got me my penultimate word. I suspect the last one is hidden in your post too. So clever!

#nytspellingbee

OMG I was blind to the Swiss words and thought surely there was a mistake until I read your post.
