Two words today that I couldn't really get even with hints
― Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 11 March 2022 00:00 (four years ago)
Lots of fun words in this short one
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Friday, 11 March 2022 08:11 (four years ago)
I have the exact opposite feeling! Frustrated at missing just W-7 and JO-6 and have utterly no idea what either could be.
― Vladimir Poutine (Leee), Saturday, 12 March 2022 00:08 (four years ago)
Those were the same two I couldn't get even with hints. Went to one of the popular solvers to ease my mind and get it over with.
― Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 12 March 2022 00:24 (four years ago)
got JO-6 by some miracle and JA-7, but didn't even think about the WA-7 slang word
― Dan S, Saturday, 12 March 2022 00:28 (four years ago)
I only knew jo-6 cause I live in AZ
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Saturday, 12 March 2022 00:34 (four years ago)
Ohhhhhhh that was enough to job my memory! I've heard of it in the context of facial cleansers. Last one is sure to elude me however.
― Vladimir Poutine (Leee), Saturday, 12 March 2022 02:22 (four years ago)
Did you see Dan's hidden text about it? it's a compound slang word and a hit song
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Saturday, 12 March 2022 02:39 (four years ago)
This is interesting because I solved all of today by myself (even the oddities mentioned) but really struggled with Thursday's oddities, which I think were gavotte, gallette, geotag
― jenny from the blockchain (Ye Mad Puffin), Saturday, 12 March 2022 06:08 (four years ago)
WAP?
― Vladimir Poutine (Leee), Saturday, 12 March 2022 07:17 (four years ago)
Ah, I got it, thanks!
― Vladimir Poutine (Leee), Saturday, 12 March 2022 07:18 (four years ago)
Okay, in what world is unimmunized not a word?
― When the Pain That You Feel is the Bite of an Eel, That's a Moray (Old Lunch), Saturday, 12 March 2022 14:22 (four years ago)
Thine alabaster cities gleam UNDIMMED by human tears
The Sheik, he drove his CadillacHe went a-cruisin' down the villeThe MUEZZIN was a-standin'On the radiator grille

garbage game
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 12 March 2022 15:35 (four years ago)
Appropriately enough no MIDDEN either.
― Vladimir Poutine (Leee), Saturday, 12 March 2022 18:52 (four years ago)
Was stuck on last word and gave up. Don't think I've ever had last word be such an easy, common word: medium. Hard to feel good about getting all the other words when you miss such an easy one.

it's irreversible, no?
― flopson, Saturday, 12 March 2022 19:09 (four years ago)
oops sorry forgot to re-do the hide tag
Had the same reaction, Leee. That was the point where I peaced out.
― When the Pain That You Feel is the Bite of an Eel, That's a Moray (Old Lunch), Saturday, 12 March 2022 20:23 (four years ago)
oh yeah, that one. Me too.
― Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 12 March 2022 20:35 (four years ago)
One word completely unknown to me today but managed to construct it from the hint.
― Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 13 March 2022 15:13 (four years ago)
Muon is definitely a word, idiots.
― trishyb, Saturday, 19 March 2022 12:19 (four years ago)
I know right!!
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Saturday, 19 March 2022 13:47 (four years ago)
Unless it's a bird, Sam doesn't care.
― Justice League: Picard (Leee), Saturday, 19 March 2022 19:05 (four years ago)
Not even all birds make the cut with Sam - no caracara, no motmot
― Jaq, Saturday, 19 March 2022 21:01 (four years ago)
not allowing yoyo baffled me. Is it because its hyphenated?
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Saturday, 19 March 2022 21:55 (four years ago)
Probably
― Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 19 March 2022 22:26 (four years ago)
The hoopoe is another rejected bird
― Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Saturday, 19 March 2022 22:31 (four years ago)
Almost got to QB without having to look up the NYT chat column on yesterdays! Had to use them only for one word, so I'm pretty chuffed.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 21 March 2022 22:03 (four years ago)
Anyone get QB today? I've got 2 LI words left and wondering if it's worth it to keep trying or of they're too bizarre.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 24 March 2022 19:58 (four years ago)
Lol ok now it's 1 word left. How the fuck did I not see linen until now.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 24 March 2022 20:00 (four years ago)
Granny, I used to always overlook that word till I forced myself to remember. As for the last word:
If it's an LI8, then it's a compound wordIf it's an LI7, then it's a noun derived from an LI5
― Ace of Base Are Belong To Us (Leee), Thursday, 24 March 2022 20:09 (four years ago)
Good on you guys. I almost never make QB without hints, probably will not happen today.
― Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 24 March 2022 20:12 (four years ago)
I've got 5-6 points to go, I'm presuming it's one word. Annoying
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 24 March 2022 20:50 (four years ago)
I turn to the official hints once I've reached "Amazing" and my progress has halted. (Which is why I knew it was LI words I was missing)
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 24 March 2022 22:10 (four years ago)
Thanks for the hints Leee! It was the latter one and no way I would've gotten it without your hint. Now gotta file it away for reference.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Thursday, 24 March 2022 22:13 (four years ago)
How come FIEF but no LIEF?
― Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 24 March 2022 23:59 (four years ago)
Also would never have gotten LIBELEEE without the hint.
― Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 25 March 2022 00:01 (four years ago)
I knew to expect that one from previous Bees.
Actually the last few days have been pretty clean, with relatively few "why this but not that" outrages. Like, MINICAMP but no PAPI is one I remember.
The compounds and baby talk remain a realm of mystery. Like BOOBOO and CANCAN and BOOHOO but not YOYO.
― takin' care of bismuth (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 25 March 2022 02:35 (four years ago)
Like all Bee players I have extremely precise gripes about what gets deemed foreign. Like, if NADA is okay, why not ARRIBA?
On some level it's pointless to belabor these, but the consensus on this thread has generally been that griping is part of the game. Okay
― takin' care of bismuth (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 25 March 2022 02:43 (four years ago)
Outside the thread too.
― Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 25 March 2022 02:56 (four years ago)
lol it was BELLE i missed. ffs
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 25 March 2022 11:10 (four years ago)
Happens all the time
― Mardi Gras Mambo Sun (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 25 March 2022 11:10 (four years ago)
As a Canadian, I keep getting distracted from legitimate words this Saturday by the presence of “Manitoba” and “Timbit”.
― Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Sunday, 27 March 2022 03:19 (four years ago)
Yesterday was my first time to reach Queen Bee level without looking at the two-letter hints. So proud of myself.
― trishyb, Sunday, 27 March 2022 08:44 (four years ago)
nice!
― Tracer Hand, Sunday, 27 March 2022 11:22 (four years ago)
Well done!
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Sunday, 27 March 2022 18:15 (four years ago)
Not a Canadian but I also kept seeing Manitoba
No, wait, not Queen Bee, but Genius. Yes, that's what I meant. False alarm. Stand down, everyone.
