Okay, that FB page is a lot! They are hardcore with their acronyms and incredibly parsed details of what level of hint/not hint each person will go to, and when, and why.
Might have to only check in very sparingly.
But still a fun new resource.

The Bee is frustrating because the NYT doesnât own up to its mistakes. Sometimes they will fall back on âItâs a GAMEâ. But a game must have rules. âUndauntedâ should have resulted in a correction/mea culpa. While the NYT can claim certain words arenât included because they are obscure, the word undaunted appears dozens and dozens of times in the NYT ( as a search will quickly show).

Yeah, I have had to work to get past that one because it made me so angry.

Oh wow, I didnât even know this was a thing. I solved the free version of todayâs puzzle. Would have been faster if I had read instructions to know you could use letters more than once! (Instructions, what a novel idea)
I donât have a subscription so will have to evaluate that in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for the fun!

Ballyard? Dooryard? But not undaunted, penpal, or alee? I donât feel bad at all that I didnât get to Queen Bee yesterday.

Bodyboard??? (spell check say it is two words. Same with mahi mahi a few days ago.)
Yeah they disregarded a really basic one for today. Wonât say, due to spoilers, but pretty unhappy about it.
An asideâI thought yesterdayâs trick for the Sunday NYT crossword puzzle was very cute once I finally figured it out!

Yes, bodyboard was another âwordâ I missed.

My interest in on-line games waxes and wanes, so I wonât pay for the NYT Spelling Bee.
However, there is an iPhone app âSpelling Bee pangram word playâ that is free. You might have to watch an occasional short add, but you can play entire games for free.
There is another app called âPangramâ that looks similar. I havenât downloaded it though.
Iâm addicted to online Scrabble.
Iâm becoming totally addicted to Spelling Bee. Happened to wake up right at 3am when the new puzzle is released and did it before going back to sleep. First time to get QBWG. There werenât any hints yet so had to do it all on my own.
