Gameboard only - all I have time for this morning, thankfully quick w/ a PG! .... May revisit 😃
#nytspellingbee #hivemind #nytsb

No food is too esoteric; no foreign dance, no obscure mechanical part, no neologism is too absurd for Sam -- but when it comes to our beautiful green planet, oh no - those words don't count. 😡 Got pg and 🎓, BTW

How coincidental! I checked it out - intriguing!

PGs #1 and #2. A STROKE of insight on word 46 got me to 🎓

#nytspellingbee #hivemind #nytsb

I'm 8 shy of the 👑 but not sure it's doable. PGs late in the game.

🎓 on my own - multiple PGs get you there fast. But what about WOODYARD?

#nytspellingbee #nytsb #hivemind

Quick trip to Genius - puzzle only. Not going for the Gold, however.... 😃 🇺🇸

#hivemind #nytspellingbee #nytsb

If I claim "on my own" it means I looked at nothing but the puzzle. I'll look at word count, letter distrib. and PGs if "stuck", but am aware I'm "playing a relaxed game," so to speak. Hints beyond that is "cheating" & depends how impatient/curious I am - I'm busy! 😆 I wouldn't post those results. 😇

Boycotting the Bee today since NY Times wouldn't accept concomitant! Are you kidding, Sam? 😡

#nytspellingbee #hivemind #nytsb

I learned this word first year in grad school. GABION is sort of in the same camp with ADIT. If they are good enough for the NY Times to use them - why not in the Bee?????????
