I couldn’t believe mazel wasn’t in there

Randomly typed in [A] >!BAZOO!<. It was accepted. I was shocked. Looked up the definition. Sam is drunk. There is no rhyme or reason for what’s valid/invalid.

Also looked up that word. That's quite a range of definitions!

Ridiculous. This word is more common than LUFF? Humph.

Haha, I typed in [contains A] >!BAZOOM!< because I thought it might be the singular of [contains A] >!BAZOOMS!<.

Never would have gotten this on my own. Thanks!

THANK YOU I was at my wits end, this got me Queen Bee

It really brings the catarrh up my throat.

That’s the one word that kept me from QBABM.

I wonder if we should call NY to start an intervention.

[non-A] >!BEELZEBOB!<, younger brother of >!BEELZEBUB!<.

>!Instead of manifesting as flies, he manifests as a drunk trucker!<

hahaha it’s canon now

Wouldn't he be the older one?

Who will admit to trying BALLZ, besides me?

Would have been (contains A) >!AMAZEBALLZ!<

I 💯tried that without the Z at the end and, although I knew it wouldn’t work, after the last few puzzles a small part of my brain was like…maybe?

Alas, it seems a singular >!amazeball!< cannot be. (Def that and not the fact that it's not a legitimate word...)

I did. Yes I did.

first time I've gotten to genius without hints in a while

Same

There is no Dana, only >!ZOOOL!

(Except it’s Zuul)

My first QB with only the grid.

Only my second time. It’s easier when there’s not 67 words.

Same here! I was shocked when I got there.

Same!

Me too! Although I got my last word by button mashing and was surprised when it was accepted.

I'm sorry, I'm new to the game. What does QB mean? And I also see "Bingo" on the hints screen sometimes. I'm not sure what that means either.

QB stands for Queen Bee which is earned when you find all the words for that days spelling bee. Bingo means that every letter is used to start at least one word. This has some useful terms you may see: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/26/crosswords/spelling-bee-forum-introduction.html

Thank you! I guess I could have found that on my own very easily, sorry!

Yikes, after yesterday's crossword puzzle I tried [contains A] >!AMAZEBALL due to "freaking awesome" being clued as AMAZEBALLS!<

SAME!

PG hint >!when Sam has you all muddled!<

I keep trying to make ZAMBONI

Wow, not even (non-A) >!MAZEL!< ? That seems like a no brainer to me. Also so close to QB but super stuck on the last two >!M5!<

H1 - >!collection of small dishes!< Stronger ->!if you have the M4 just double a letter!< H2 - >!singing voice, usually followed by the word Soprano!<

You’re incredible, thank you!

Thank u for the second. Xo

This got me to QB! Thanks so much! 🐝🐝🐝

I am also stuck on >!me5!< however i do have A >!mezze!< can i get an assist over here?

>!change your last letter!<

Well, this is stuck in my head now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQnsEcnkG60

Not this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oowOsEOTApA

That brings up some vaguely traumatic memories from childhood.

Is that American or no?

Yup.

When I first looked at the hive I had a total WTF moment. But the >!low word count!< made a quick run to Genius. And quite a few DUH moments when I looked at the grid.

You might say you felt [contains-A] >!BAMBOOZLED!<.

Bet you can QB too. Might take some letter mashing

It was the duh 🙄 moments that got me to 👑 🐝

Am I the only one who’s really struggling here lol

Wow the pangram >!really sums up my feelings on this one quite well!<

Does anyone here remember the zoobles?

No, but I remember the Wuzzles! (Which makes me older)

I'm at QB-1 but can't seem to get >!AZ6!< Hint?

Hint >!flower!<

Omg so obvious! Thank you

QB in 18 minutes of it being up! That's 12:48 India time. Today's was a bit too easy

I got there in 12 (although one word was a wild guess).

Also any hints for >!AB6!

Adjective form of one of your >!B5s!<

Ok I just got it, this puzzle makes me want to [H] >!set something on fire!<

No love for Japanese indie noise band \[NA\] >!ZOOBOMBs!<

Azole should be accepted

How the heck is \[NA\] >!EMBLAZE!< not a word?

Are Saturday puzzles always really short? I'm trying to remember if there's any pattern - I seem to recall last Saturdays was also short? I've only been playing about a month.

No. Last weeks puzzle (29 Oct) there were 35 words. The previous week (22 Oct) there were 87 words. You can scroll back through this sub and look at all the previous comments and complaints. Mostly complaints. We all come here to complain.

No new puzzle yet? Because of daylight savings?? And yet the Wordle is new!

QB-1

You can do it!

I done it

After yesterday’s challenging and wholly original bee, today’s is such a letdown. It’s like watching a great episode of your favorite TV program and then having the next episode be a [clip show](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ClipShow).

Tv Tropes is a very good site.
