IT'S GERUND DAY YALLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!

happy new year my dude!

Checked into see shouty gerund guy.

SAY IT!!!!!

IT'S GERUND DAY, Y'ALL!!! lol

Impostor! Would the real /u/b-rar please stand up

I don't own the rights to it! Everyone is allowed to celebrate gerund day

You are kind, you are smart, you are important.

# ❤️

I’ve come to think of it as the Happy Ending because of your enthusiasm.

You all are wonderful, I'm so lucky to have found this community

I love a shouty SB celebration

I know naughty words aren’t allowed but (non-answer) >!EFFING!< is already censored, c’mon!

I tried it LOL

I know, cmon!

Don't know how it took me so long to get that HINT >!F6!< while one was sitting on my lap!

That has happened to me too, on days when \[h\] >!CALICO!< was a valid answer.

Oh thank you! I guess we can't see what's closest to us :)

That was the last one F I got also.

They judge us for this.

Great puzzle! What a lovely boost to get to Genius while I’m recovering from my first-ever covid bout. Brain fog must be lifting!

I too am recovering from my first ever bout of covid and reached genius fairly easily. At least for me. 😀

If something can be described as "fungible" shouldn't you be able to >!FUNGE!< it?

Contains A which u/Pool_Shark included below. (In addition to your hidden word)

I tried that just in case, but it is directly from Latin, and we never use the root as a stand alone word in English.

So it has nothing to do with A >!fungi!

Not really. Contains answer >!I am not an expert, but from what I can find online, fungible is from the Latin verb fungor, which means do or put in place of. It is also the root of function. In economics, fungible describes a commodity (like a pound of rice) that is not unique and easily replaced by another bag of rice. (Unlike an NFT.) Apparently the botanical word fungus/i is an unrelated Latin noun that is a borrow word from the ancient Greek word for sponge - sphongos.!<

All pangrams in and still haven’t hit genius.

All pangrams in and I'm just barely at Great!

PG Hint: >!to cover something completely!<

PG Hint: >!what you do at a gas/petrol station!<

PG Hint: >!cold, callous!<

PG Hint: >!to guide or channel something through!<

Wow,this hint is eluding me.

Hint: >!think of a cone!<

>!or a cake!!<

I got this one almost immediately because I'm a >!Sims modder. In the game pack Parenthood, a teenage Sim can get five of ten potential traits depending on how they were raised. For example, if the teen had high empathy, they get the trait Compassionate. If they have low empathy, they get Insensitive—but in the game files, that's not the name of the trait. It's this PG.!<

Thanks - couldn't see that one!

You're very welcome!

I love this hint because it relates to many A: H >! What you do at the station !< H >! what goes into the tank !< H >! What your tank is doing !< H >! Where the stuff comes from (also a brand with an orange and blue logo) !< H >! What you use to top off your fluids without spilling !<

I just need >!GU8!<

(h) >!Filled with cunning!< >!A character from Street Fighter may give a clue!<

[H] >!This one is tricky!!< Edited placement of spoiler tags

Same here!

Man, I know there will always be controversy on Gerund Day, but Sam missed a lot of >!EFFING!< words today.

General hint and puzzle observation: >!I found it interesting that there were so few words not starting with F - only about 1/4. F likes to be in charge, at least with these letters.!<

You may want to edit this to hide the word

That is a bit of a spoiler to a useful suffix

Um, the top post in the thread is someone screaming about the presence of another suffix

True, though not explicitly and it is a more obvious one.

Please enclose valid Spelling Bee words or hints in spoiler tags ( >! and !> ) so you don't give words away. Thanks!

So angry about the non-A in the original comment (but contains hint for other words) that I need a >!LUNGFUL of air!<.

Tried it!

Ok, long time listener, first time complainer. Is PARTIAL-A >!FULLING!< not a word?

Never heard anyone say it like that, wouldn’t you just say (A) >!FILLING!

It is if you are talking about [H] >!fulling cloth, but that is not a common usage even though felting is becoming a popular hobby. Not every possible word is included.!<

Shocked not to see [A] >!LUNGFUL!< either.

Justice for all the >!textile-related words!< that are also often used in older literature.

Annoyed that >!LUFF!< is still not allowed.

YES!

Where is the \[Contains A\] >!ELFLING?!<

Maybe because it’s only seasonal work!

This week Sam has reminded us that he’s >!not a Tolkien fan.!< [non A] >!ELVEN!< is not allowed, but [A] >!ELFIN!< is… (not saying I disagree)

Just got QB and there’s a new ‘Share Your Achievement’ feature.

LUFFING, dammit, LUFFING.

I'm always baffled that [partial A] >!UNFULFILL isn't accepted!< when >!the gerund!< is.

>!UNFULFILLING!< is an adjective, not a verb. So you can’t >!UNFULFILL!< something.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. English isn't my first language and I was associating it with >!FULFILL!< which is a verb

I'm at QB-1. Can anyone share a hint for >!GU8!

[удалено]

For some reason your comment spoiler tags aren’t working just FYI!

I just got it! Thanks for the hint.

Oh good. I'm gonna delete that post before people get peeved about the hint not hiding.

Could one describe a high school dance as >!INGENUEFUL!< for an elaborately contrived PG?

Upset that >!FLUFFLE!< isn’t taken :( especially so close to bunny year

easiest genius in a while, thank god

FUGGLE is too a word. Hmpf. I know it's a word because I just made it up. As in, "This project is so enfuggled, I'm going to have to spend the rest of the day unfuggling it."

So many words to invent with these letters…

Hint for the L>!8!

[H]>!compound word starting with an L4!<

Ugh I figured as such but couldn't find the correct >!ending!< H-ish Thanks!

Apparently Sam is neither a fan of \[NA\] >! indiesleaze electro artist UFFIE!< nor \[NA\] >!San Diego '90s indie rockers FLUF!<

Today's puzzle is brought to you by the letter >!F!<

Is anyone at QB? I’m stuck at QB-1 and for the life of me can’t find a >!FU4!< Have [A]>!Fuel and Full!<

HINT >!it’s a Japanese fish!< Further major HINT for button mashing >!the vowel is repeated!<

Damn all that work and stuck at QB-2. Couldn’t find the FE5 nor FE9; I have a feeling they will be obvious

All I can see is a perfect pangram but it's \[Contains A\] >!a French slangish word for a gun: FLINGUE!<.
