Me neither. Sometimes when there are this many words it gets to the point where even after I have given up on my own steam (hopefully after getting pangrams and genius) and looking at all the clues I still can't tell which words I missed.

Also, really wanted LENTEN, I assume he left out because usually capitalized.

Again with the formerly-accepted-but-not-today: TELNET.

DIdn't even try.

Feel like there was a good (rejected) screenname based on that one once.

british spelling not being accepted is especially annoying today

lol just came here to post “they’re really trolling the brits/aussies today”

.. and canadians
― scanner darkly, Monday, 2 May 2022 14:29 (one year ago) link
ha yes them too, sorry canadiansmanaged to get to QB w/hints
― donna rouge, Monday, 2 May 2022 15:51 (one year ago) link
I think I've come up to three or four short but have never achieved QB without hints. there are always four-letter words that I forget, so I try to do those first
― Dan S, Tuesday, 3 May 2022 01:12 (one year ago) link
QB was easy today, I tried the AU/UK -our spellings just in case. He seems to use alt spellings sometimes but not always? I guess it'd get too messy.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 3 May 2022 01:36 (one year ago) link
the alternate spellings are not usually a problem
but even trying to conjure compound words like falloff, nobleman/noblewoman, bellmen I often miss them
― Dan S, Tuesday, 3 May 2022 01:54 (one year ago) link
Some of the, um, fun is typing in still-foreign words and hoping they will be accepted like CEMITA.
― Johnny Thunderwords (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 7 May 2022 12:01 (one year ago) link
Lol James, I think I tried MAMACITA at least twice today
― may the florist be with you (Ye Mad Puffin), Saturday, 7 May 2022 23:41 (one year ago) link
I’m too sexy for my (no longer acceptable) CATAMITE.
― Johnny Thunderwords (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 7 May 2022 23:47 (one year ago) link
Yeah I tried that too; meanwhile CRAP and CRAPPING were fine just a couple days ago

As seen here: Rewrite the openings to famous novels in the style of John Lanchester
― Johnny Thunderwords (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 7 May 2022 23:52 (one year ago) link
I had another pair to gripe about but capitalization.
― Johnny Thunderwords (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 7 May 2022 23:53 (one year ago) link
there were a lot of chemistry words today
tried both mamacita and catamite
missed words like climatic, lacteal, acetate
― Dan S, Sunday, 8 May 2022 00:22 (one year ago) link
and titmice!
― Dan S, Sunday, 8 May 2022 00:23 (one year ago) link
chemistry words and medical words
acetalaceticacetatecalcitemalic
celiaciliaclactic
― Dan S, Sunday, 8 May 2022 00:48 (one year ago) link
didn't hide it all, sorry
but not ictal, which an often used medical term

Keep typing LAIRD to no avail.

Yeah that’s bullshit. Fuck catamite not counting as well!!

Biggest bullshit today might be that none of the variant spellings of arrack are accepted

Ok I know the whole gag is that definitions of obscure are like subjective but let’s be real there exists no sane rationale for iodine but not iodide. It’s stoopid
― gop on ya gingrich (wins), Tuesday, 10 May 2022 23:03 (one year ago) link
a lot of chemistry words again today! oxide, dioxide, diode, iodine, monoxide, neon, xenon
I got doxxed but didn't think of doxx or the alternate spelling of the past tense, doxed

QB no hints today!feel like CAPING should be a word?
― donna rouge, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 14:18 (one year ago) link
Well done! May your reign last forever!
Agree on caping. I was genuinely surprised that there was no pipping allowed either.
― trishyb, Wednesday, 11 May 2022 14:44 (one year ago) link
I absolutely smashed it yday, QB in no time & some v satisfying words like COLDCOCKEDAnother bit of editorial stupidity to complain about tho: DECKLE but not DECKLED? The latter form is the only one I ever encounter, ymmv but in any case why would you not have both
― gop on ya gingrich (wins), Saturday, 14 May 2022 13:02 (one year ago) link
yes otmin orbit probably has thoughts on this

Thought the same thing about DECKLED.

I hit the wall a while back as well. Will need the hints tonight I guess

I wonder if today is an all-time low in the number of different letters that the words start with (sort of an anti-bingo).

yesterday I got tripped up by the -oid words - droid, android, paranoid, opioid
and I wouldn’t have thought of words like riparian and rapini on my own
