GULLABLY IS NOT A FREAKING WORD. Dont even try and tell me it is an "alternative spelling" it just ISNT A WORD.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 16 February 2022 03:18 (four years ago)
I somehow guessed that one but not gulag and lallygag
― Dan S, Wednesday, 16 February 2022 03:24 (four years ago)
I got the first of yours but yeah the second I got from buttonmashing cos thats not how I know it to be spelt.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 16 February 2022 03:25 (four years ago)
Yeah I also completely objected to gullably and lallygag

Isn't it lolly with an o not a??
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 17 February 2022 02:21 (four years ago)
can't remember for sure but I think it accepts both
― Dan S, Thursday, 17 February 2022 02:24 (four years ago)
Madness!
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 17 February 2022 02:26 (four years ago)
But doesn't accept "vittle"
it's a slippery slope from gullably to gluggably

i guess it’s from “to gull” or to trick someone? so actually means the same thing as gullible? whatever, it’s moronic
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 17 February 2022 11:19 (four years ago)
At least a couple words today that should appease darra.
― Mobile Suit Gundam Style (Leee), Thursday, 24 February 2022 18:19 (four years ago)
damn today’s is hard!
― donna rouge, Friday, 25 February 2022 22:13 (four years ago)
I just hit genius with dumdum which I protest is not an actual word.
― Jaq, Friday, 25 February 2022 22:31 (four years ago)
I have never heard of colcannon, from yesterday
― Dan S, Saturday, 26 February 2022 01:49 (four years ago)
jaq, it's a type of bullet, named after a place in India
― koogs, Saturday, 26 February 2022 07:18 (four years ago)
Ah, thanks koogs - I only knew it as a brand of lollipop.
― Jaq, Saturday, 26 February 2022 16:09 (four years ago)
lol I would never have expected the Bee to know COLCANNON tbh.
― Ima Gardener (in orbit), Saturday, 26 February 2022 16:12 (four years ago)
I didn't know that one nor CODON, which somebody told me was in another Bee very recently.
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 26 February 2022 16:15 (four years ago)
Colcannon (the cabbage dish) seems on the obscure side to me, especially if mildly specialized terms like conn, nacelle, tuff, and teff are not on the word list. Plus, not allowing mild Briticisms like toff but requiring knowledge of Irish cuisine, Indian breads, rare birds and plants, etc.
The selectivity is understandable but it is mos def arbitrary and idiosyncratic

i wonder if today’s bee is sam’s subtle “fuck you” to russiaas every letter exists in the russian alphabet except I - which makes it the ukrainian alphabet
― scanner darkly, Sunday, 27 February 2022 03:48 (four years ago)
Should be accepted: PION
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 27 February 2022 23:31 (four years ago)
got close to QB today for the first time. missed NOHOW, which I only guessed after seeing the clue Sam, there is NOWAY this is a word (5)
― Dan S, Sunday, 27 February 2022 23:43 (four years ago)
Which clue source do you go to?
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 27 February 2022 23:53 (four years ago)
the comments section at the NYT "Today's Hints" link
― Dan S, Sunday, 27 February 2022 23:56 (four years ago)
yesterday I couldn't get PICOT even after seeing multiple comments/clues referring to it as a loop stitch in crocheting
― Dan S, Monday, 28 February 2022 00:06 (four years ago)
Oh, thanks. I only ever looked at the top with the stats, which is a tiny bit helpful but not that much. A friend of mine likes to use some other guy's hints, Kevin something. Davis, Kevin Davis.
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 28 February 2022 00:19 (four years ago)
Okay, the set of hints by Sarah of Norway were really good, thanks. Done for today.
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 28 February 2022 00:31 (four years ago)
ONe word kept me from QB today (GI7), and it turned out I didnt know it (but a well worded clue in the NTY chat helped.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 1 March 2022 22:23 (four years ago)
NYT rather. I am so tired.
Had exactly that experience although couldn't find the chat when I was doing it so ending up finding that word myself.
― Gary Gets His Tonsure Out (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 1 March 2022 22:30 (four years ago)
I also got the Wordle in 2 tries, so I'm chuffed.Now I just have to try and beat S- on the mini crossword leaderboard, he keeps kicking my arse.

3/3's had the most bullshit words since I started playing

NAMETAPE ??
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 4 March 2022 09:01 (four years ago)
PENMAN is some bullshit too. not a word
Yup
― Gary Gets His Tonsure Out (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 4 March 2022 09:44 (four years ago)
it just feels gratuitous, tipping the scales, like he wants to make sure QB remains rare
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 4 March 2022 10:00 (four years ago)
PENMANship is a word, so why not PENMAN?
― koogs, Friday, 4 March 2022 11:52 (four years ago)
use it in a sentence
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 4 March 2022 12:10 (four years ago)
The penman is mightier than the swordsman
― ✖, Friday, 4 March 2022 12:21 (four years ago)
Ian Penman -- What's he up to?
― Gary Gets His Tonsure Out (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 4 March 2022 12:36 (four years ago)
if PENMAN is accepted i demand PACMAN and ANTMAN should be as well
― scanner darkly, Friday, 4 March 2022 17:20 (four years ago)
Ha, exactly. I tried all those, didn’t even bother with the other one although I thought about it.
― Gary Gets His Tonsure Out (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 4 March 2022 17:22 (four years ago)
he had good penmanship, he was a good penman.
