#hivemind #nytspellingbee I coulda had QBABM twice in a row if only I'd gone straight to the noun for showing mercy. It shows I am defeatable. Now I'll have a little snack of Russian pancakes (sing. & pl.) at the infirmary where I will contemplate my concave navel

#hivemind #nytsb Does a short 🐝that led to QBABM make up for yesterday's ridiculous one? (2 PGs, neither one of them legit) Yes it does!

#hivemind #nytsb #nytspellingbee Short one today - QBABM b/c I filled in all the answers in the exercise guide. My patio is made of pavers & my dog goes woof-woof, my baby in the cot has an owie, & I like Italian bowling

#hivemind #nytsb #nytspellingbee It's adverb day: I'm smartly dressed, I do things gently & neatly; at the start I may be affected by the surging/ebbing of the waves, but only by a teensy amount. Will move farther from the ocean & plant some hemerocallis

And now for a few clues to this long, dreary 🐝: Al2O3; atomic no. 73; far-right armed groups; to set free; "do this or else" demand (sing. & pl); German dieresis; trivial little details; Japanese mat; Nepalese priest; S. American camel; postal carrier ♂; Spanish lace head covering
To make matters worse, there's a very similar word for the 9L daily morning ritual, in 7L, maybe a bit less obscure -- but it's not accepted!
#hivemind #nytsb #nytspellingbee This🐝wins my prize for worst ever! Too long, & neither pangram should be accepted. One is a proper word for a particular secret society that gets accused of controlling the world; the other is a very obscure word for morning ritual www.nytimes.com/badges/games...

#hivemind #nytspellingbee I was able to renew my fading career when I got a new teased-up hairstyle. I made a brief but memorable appearance in a movie playing someone in a vegetative state. & I wrote a recipe guide to make hot choc & torte. The show host loved it www.nytimes.com/badges/games...
#hivemind #nytsb #nytspellingbee Got QB early this AM but this nanny/granny job leaves me little time to post. My mesencephalon is underused; I feel like a blockhead or an uncultured foreigner. I wish I could speak Chinese. Also wish male ornithologist was accepted!

#hivemind #nytsb #nytspellingbee A long but still a quick one. After aligning myself w/ a disorganized group of left-wing radicals, I realized I was an innocent; I now see they were not succeeding but puffing up their numbers (which were in fact not moving at all - dead), so my interest was waning

#hivemind #nytsb #nytspellingbee Tech trouble w/ this 🐝- I entered 5 words (abs sure I did!) but didn't get credit & had to figure out which ones & reenter, incl the PG. If I become a famous head monk I'll live chastely, doing sums on my bead-boards. Don't defame me!

#hivemind #nytsb #nytspellingbee I missed getting QBABM b/c during the entire puzzle I believed I'd already typed a word that was an outcropping of another word. So I asked myself, What hath God (or Sam) constructed? I've cogitated on this more deeply than he has.

#hivemind #nytsb #nytspellingbee Hunter S. Thompson, the wild journalist, wrote that everything's rusting. He was rooting in the dirt for Vidalias when a bluish-purple T-rex hit him on the head. I was snoozing but woke to the ringing of a temple disc.
