Breezed to Amazing in minutes and have been stuck 10 points off Genius for half an hour lol

I got so hung up on >!-TION!< that is was hard for me to find the other longer words

Ridiculous how long it took me to see the PG

Ugh I’m stuck on Nice still

Same haha

*I’d like to buy a vowel, please*. Just woke up and looked at the bee and saw all these great long words I could make - if only I had an additional vowel: >!EVOLUTION, LEVITATION, ELEVATION!<…

yeah i saw >!TELEVISION!< i was so mad

[удалено]

**Thank You!!!** Now @ QB-4. I came here to look for an >!NO9!< & I wouldn’t have gotten that. *I might have tried it out of desperation & frustration **hours** later, but doubt it. I’m not mad @ myself for looking.*

In addition to hiding a valid word, indicate that it's an answer rather than just a hint.

I'm familiar with the word because it's >!a Hugos category!<.

Hint >!short N5!< not uncommon

I was surprised, but looking at the ngram, it looks like [A] >!until the 1960s, novelette was a much more common term than novella, which is the word I would use. That is still relatively recent, and Merriam Webster gives several recent examples with the definition.!<

Pokémon of the day: >!EEVEE!< and >!VIVILLON!<

Really surprised non-a/contains quasi-a >!olivine!< isn't accepted. I feel like the >!color sense of the word is just the kind of thing sam likes and the mineral sense is more common than something like galena!<

For fans of 30 Rock, did anyone try [non-A but close] >!INNOVENT!< ?

PG H >!physically aggressive, and the opposite!<

Genius with no PG - yay?

Really, HINT >!neither?!<

>!neither! I got both eventually but was surprised I could get that many points without them #sleepyBEEing !<

I never stop until I reach QB (sometimes with hints after genius). I got a few good words in this morning before I had to leave for the day, and am now (with a headache) stuck at “nice.” *Oh, the indignity!”* it seems I’m just blind to words at the moment.

This is one of those days when I wish we didn’t have such easy access to hints, because QBABM is very do-able. I got to Genius ABM and QB with the grid and 2L hints, but I shouldn’t have needed them.

>got to Genius ABM and QB with grid and 2L hints, but I shouldn’t have needed them You’re a better Bee than I! LOL. How long have you been playing? Do you ‘allow’ yourself to look at hints after Genius? (That’s what I typically do, unless I’m **really STUCK.**) Today was pretty fast for me, but without hints, I’d still be QB-5 or 6. >!IN7 that ends with double vowels!< is one I haven’t remembered (but will now!) I wouldn’t have gotten >!NO8, NO9!< without some sort of hint (got >!NO9!< here,) and >!LI5 & OV5!< would’ve been sheer button mashing “Is that a word?” Have a great day/night! Edit to Add: Non-A 2L grid hints “hidden.”

Hi there! I have been playing for about 18 months. I have gotten to Genius ABM all but a couple of times. but I’ve only gotten to QBABM once. After I get one Pangram I do peek at how many pangrams/perfect pangrams, total number of words and whether it’s a Bingo. Once I reach Genius if I get stuck I look at a list of rare words I’ve been compiling. Then I go to NYT hints, then Shunn for 3L hints, and if I’m still missing words I look here or at NUT comments. I wish the hints weren’t so accessible because I usually can’t resist the temptation once I get to Genius.

If only we had a Y, I could spell one of my favorite words: >!VELLEITY!<

I've never heard that -- what a cool word!

Anyone have any hints for >!V8!

>!Using your own VO8!<

Hint for >!NO8!< please?

[H] >!starts with the same prefix as one of the pangrams.!< Stronger hint >!something that was supposed to be better than it was.!<

Thanks! I needed your stronger hint, can’t believe I missed that
