Spelling bee today

4 years ago

Anyone else finding spelling bee particularly hard today or is it just me.

    Just scooted over now and yup, seems tough to me. I found three words off the bat and I now have to think. No bueno. I bet it's a very low scoring game.

    Only 20 words, 88 points. Hard.

    I don’t subscribe so I just go for the pangram first, then see how many points I can get before getting shut out. Got the pangram half-asleep, and it kicked me off right away!

    Thanks for the reminder. I do it when it comes out at midnight and had to give up last night and go to bed. I'm not used to having to finish it in the morning, but I was really stumped and still about 13 points away from genius.
    eta: It was hard! But I'm finally a genius!

    I do the one called Free Bee. It's rather frustrating that you can have dozens of words and two hundred points and then kinda give up, look at the answers and see you need to have 300 points to be Queen Bee Status and there is a possibility of 400 points. With Wordle if you solve it you solve it. There is something vaguely dissastisfying about reaching "Superior" status or whatever the rankings are, only to look and see dozens of words you missed and dozens you've never heard of.

    Yes! My personal rule is that I do it ABM—no grid or hints—until I reach Genius and then I look at the Grid and Hints. I finally reached Genius but only did 1 more from the Hints. Too much other stuff to do.

    I haven't been doing the Bee much lately, but I figured I needed to check it out today. It's hard with that center letter. I've got the pangram and 5 other words so far.

    I didn’t even know there was a grid or hints! To me and my friends its just a joke to have some random internet game pronounce you a genius, so we brag to each other about our status. I have picked up some new words from playing, but find I miss the same ones over and over. If I do eventually remember one of those, then I will usually always remember after that. I do look at the page with stats to see how many pangrams there are so I’ll know whether to continue to look for more, as they are the fastest way to accumulate points.

    Not so easy! So far I have 12 words, including the pangram. Sometimes it takes me all day but I rarely give up without getting to Genius. The Mini Crossword is my favorite. I try to do it in less than a minute

    I fell 2 words short of QB yesterday (4/15). 😔 Today, I’m not doing so well.

    Yesterday’s bee was pretty easy. Today’s was more challenging. Today was my 271 st consecutive Queen Bee. Seventy four percent of the way to my goal of 365 days!
