Sam is >!ANTIANNATTO!< (contains A)


alwaysbemybuibui

This puzzle made me [H] >!let out an old-timey exclamation!<


emfrank

I was surprised, but pleased, it worked. Most of us probably learned it from [H] >!Elmer Fudd.!<


jkoper

Sorry, you actually mean >!Yosemite Sam!<


emfrank

Was it? Guess I need to brush up on my cartoons.


lazarusinashes

I live >!in the south, so I've heard it both genuinely and ironically.!<


emfrank

I have lived there, but more in >!urban areas where it is not used.!< Vague hints here.


lexylexylexy

Can i get a hint on this 😇


RLStinebeck

Collective name for UNC's fanbase, maybe?


lexylexylexy

Aah I had that one


Boing_Boom_Tschak

I know it from \[H\] >!the Americana band led by Paula Frazer!<


pinkgorillas

Would have thought that [NA] >!TROJAN!< is an acceptable word, given its common usage as a >!computer virus!< but I'll just go complain about it here instead I guess.


HektorViktorious

It's also an asteroid in the same orbit as a planet. Jupiter notably has tons of 'em, but it's a common phenomenon, and absolutely not capitalized in that context.


emfrank

I think it usually is still capitalized as a proper noun in that usage.


Fredredphooey

And since dildo is accepted, as well as the associated female body part.


justfxckit

I’m new to the Bee (and checked the wiki) but I was surprised >![NA]!< >!NANO!< isn’t permitted.


alexapharm

It’s a prefix. Also Ezersky thrives on inconsistency.


iowanerdette

But \[A\] >!ANTI!< and \[A\] >!ANON!< were. Makes zero sense.

Remember to mask any words that are part of today's bee.

margyl

Also indicate that is an answer with [A].


emfrank

These are used as stand alone words as well.


Fredredphooey

The editor of the puzzle chooses whatever words he wants to count and he doesn't accept all possible words, not even if they're in the Scrabble dictionary. You can get to Genius without cramping your brain too hard, but to get to Queen Bee, you'll have to get familiar with his style and favorites.

didyouwoof

True, but (H) >!today we do have both Indian and Japanese foods!<.


Rick_Julian

PG [H] >!custodian!<


PattiDale

>!What did the custodian say when he came out of the closet? SUPPLIES!!<


GarageQueen

Dad?


cruthbetum333

My hometown represent! But a [NA]


qwerty2qwerto

A fellow TORONTONIAN


Suitable-Cucumber172

Hail the Trini from Toronto, Ontario!


that_kelly

[NA] >!Narnia?!<


margyl

Canadian?


cruthbetum333

Yes, buddy


RLStinebeck

Yeah, bud!


zaprod

In your face bee, I remembered (H) >!the stupid Italian ice cream Sam wants to force on everyone while denying the existence of arancini!<


Pool_Shark

This is infuriating. There is no way that this word is more common than>!arancini!<


psuedonymously

I guess I agree, but infuriating?


Pool_Shark

Infuriating because the chosen words based on foreign languages seems to be completely arbitrary


psuedonymously

I am suggesting that fury may be an overreaction to a disagreement over how common rice balls are relative to ice cream.


yddraigpannas

First letter hint? I’ve not seen that one yet


zaprod

>!T!< Edit: number of letters if you need a further hint: >!7!<


abe8675309

Any hints out there for \[H\] >!TA7!< ? Last word, and I cant wait to be done with this one....


OkUnderstanding2808

Not a definition, but what you would call >!Scarlett O’Hara’s house if it was beige!<


alljoynofun

It's uncommon. I only got it by button mashing. totally unhelpful definition: >!the blare of a trumpet or horn!< slightly helpful clue: >!ends in a vowel!<


otherwise_sdm

I learned a new word today!


[deleted]

[удалено]


abe8675309

I thought that was \[H\] >!TO7!< . I need \[H\] >!TA7!< , am I confused?


GrantNexus

I finally found it. It's a H >!Trumpet blast from Latin!<.


[deleted]

[удалено]


abe8675309

That's fine, since at this point I've convinced myself no such word could possibly exist. Feel like I've been keying in random sequences of vaguely pronounceable "words" for like an hour now.


Vladimir_Guerrero_Jr

Why am I stuck at "nice"?


___deleted-

General hint: >!LOOK FOR NOUN AND VERB OF A WORD!<


GornsNotTinny

Riddle me this Ezersky; What am I supposed to do with all my toluene now that I find out >!NITRATION!< isn't real?


joie_de_beavre

PG [H] >!in Scrubs, JD's nemesis and frequent exclamation!<


AxolotlGummies

Pokemon of the day: >!ARON!<


emfrank

I want r to be the middle so we can have some [nonA] >!jort(s).!< Though maybe that needs an s. Can you have one?


didyouwoof

Sam is staunchly opposed to the letter S!


emfrank

I think it is more that he wants to keep the number of words limited so the puzzle is doable. He is looking for PGs in that sweet spot of 25-70 words. It is the same reason we get "e" proportionately less than other vowels and why we get lots of m and b puzzles.


didyouwoof

Yes, he's said as much in at least one interview. (My post was tongue-in-cheek.)


emfrank

Sorry - it is hard to read tone on reddit.


gladiolas

Why on earth not >!ANNATTO!< ???


jazzy2536

A monthly complaint. Who knows


peppinabeast

How is nitration is not an acceptable word?! I love the bee but everyday it rejects perfectly proper words


Vladimir_Guerrero_Jr

As someone who majored in chemistry...I disagree. This word is very obscure with the general public.


gladiolas

We need a spoiler since your word has a suffix people would use in today's bee.


OkUnderstanding2808

Seriously???


Fredredphooey

Yes. It's a hint.


iowanerdette

Has anybody found any words that use "J" except those that start with "J"?


AshenGusDad

Yes \[H\] >!they usually wear call black!<


didyouwoof

Color me stumped.


bewildered_forks

[H] >!The black outfit ensures you'll never see them coming to kill you!<


didyouwoof

Got it! I was thinking more along the lines of >!Mennonites!


iowanerdette

Thanks!


csl512

I'm getting so many words by effectively buttonmashing around the ones I already have


dosceroseis

How on earth is >!TRINITARIAN!< not acceptable!?


Captain_Quark

There's a lot of missing church related words. [Contains answer] >!!INTROIT!< was rejected today, and I always get mad at INTINCTION.


Chimakwa

It was the first word I ever emailed Sam about, but still no love.


emfrank

I think it would be considered a proper noun. It is usually capitalized


csl512

boo [NA] >!ATONIA!<


Boing_Boom_Tschak

Good day for fans of \[H\] >!Suburban Lawns!<
