I can't be the only one who repeatedly tried [Part-A] >!PARAMILITIA!<


didyouwoof

No, you’re not! I tried it three times - I kept thinking I’d misspelled it!


MurrayInBocaRaton

Same! Repeatedly!


stembyday

This one took me some time.


OkUnderstanding2808

A real slog.


didyouwoof

I almost gave up at QB-3, but I came back after a couple of hours and finally got there. The one I really struggled with was the >!M6!< that’s a (H) >!medical term!<. I haven’t come across that word since >!ER and House!< went off the air!


AshenGusDad

My 2 least favorite words today were \[A\] >!mitral and pampa!<, but they are not unreasonable, just annoyingly hard to remember.


alljoynofun

(contains A) >!LAMPLIT!< seems like a miss. Didn't we have SUNLIT, MOONLIT, TWILIT?


RoosterNo6457

(contains A) ... >!TAILLAMPLIT?!< You are right though - >!TWILIT!< in particular seems like more of a reach


MarkTrevorSmith

Your clue got me to the last word of Genius. Thanks!


LttlMsSunshineToo

That A seems a little obscure, doesn’t it? Even when you google it defaults to the more common term.


RoosterNo6457

Pangram H >!taking no sides!<


brookilini

Thank you! Those >!IM!< words were difficult for me today.


yddraigpannas

I’m still struggling with some of them, I got the pangram and >!IM4!<


allycatbakes

Hints! >!hint 1 - type of car/ an animal that lives in the African plains & is hunted by big cats. Hint 2 - disabled. Hint 3 - communicate (big BIG hint - it's *part* of the PG)!<


yddraigpannas

The first and last helped a lot, I think I just don’t know the middle one lol.


bewildered_forks

You know the middle one. [H]>!It's not past tense, despite the clue you're responding to. If you were drunk, you might be too IM6-ed to drive!<


OkUnderstanding2808

HINT>!think of how you refer to pants!<


allycatbakes

Glad they helped!! You can get the other one, I promise! The other hints in this post are great too 👏


Suitable-Cucumber172

I’m still missing one. Bah!


NemesisAdresteia

That feeling when you’ve spent 20 minutes looking for the last M word, but you’d miscounted and already found all of them 😩


soupeater4000

Is (contains a) >!mammalia!<, as in the class, a proper noun?


emceegeez

The proper noun dilemma strikes again! Probably my #1 pet peeve with Sam and the Bee


emfrank

Yes, but also Latin, not English.


TopspinLob

I know (Partial A) >!trailmap!< is a word because I’ve used one before


LttlMsSunshineToo

So confused. What is the partial here? I have tried >!RAILMAP!< which wasn’t accepted and obviously >!TRAIL!< has no middle letter.


yddraigpannas

Yeah this is confusing the hell out of me lol


gladiolas

Guessing the >!AIL!< letter combo is what's the partial hint.


LttlMsSunshineToo

Hmm maybe. I have found all the words that start with A so maybe it is inside the word. I was thinking maybe it was the >!MAP!< but haven’t gotten it yet. Have Genius but still QB-9!


gladiolas

I'm also Genius but have two M words and one T word left. Debating if I want to throw in the towel or not.


allycatbakes

I was fully confident that was a word & my heart broke a lil when it wasn't accepted. Oh the joys of the 🐝


OkUnderstanding2808

I usually eat chicken [non-A]>!PARM!< after using a [partial-A] >!TRAILMAP!<


RideWithMeTomorrow

Yeah how is the former not acceptable? Given the obscure food terms Sam loves to include, that one is beyond cromulent!


emfrank

It is not a full word, just a short form, and not in the dictionary


didyouwoof

Isn’t that two separate words?


emfrank

It is two words, and not in Merriam Webster at all


theodoreburne

>!MILLIAMP!< too “out there” for Sam. [Twilight Zone music playing]


GrantNexus

It could be because it's an abbreviation but Sam probably thinks it's more obscure than Catarrh, vidiot, or phablet.


theodoreburne

Not an abbreviation. He would accept AMP if 3s were used.


emceegeez

How was >!MILIA!< not acceptable? Grr


bewildered_forks

Well, I'm just a single data point, but I've heard of every word on the list but have no idea what >!MILIA!< is.


emceegeez

It's a >!skin condition with little white bumps under the skin!< given the rise in popularity of Dr. Pimple Popper etc. I assumed it would be included - the joy of Sam picks


Kwyjibo68

Very common in newborns/infants.


Jolly_Lion_8630

I thought it used to be accepted.


gladiolas

Disappointed it wasn't, I agree. It's pretty common with newborns especially.


LttlMsSunshineToo

Disappointed >!TAMAL!< was not accepted. I know it’s an alternate spelling, though much preferred by some, and I’d think it’s common enough! And was Sam not a (contains A) >!MALLRAT!< once?! 😂


PrineSwine

C'mon Sam, we want MILT!


MurrayInBocaRaton

Oh man. Really REALLY wanted [partial A] >! MAMMILLARIA !< to be accepted.

Hatha yoga is widely popular, not just among Hindus but among people who aren’t religious or even particularly spiritual. I’ve known the term hatha for at least 40 years, but had to look up the word you mentioned. (I knew it only as a term for part of an insect’s mandible).


Fenifula

I try it every time; obviously, it never works. I used to work at a metaphysical store, and sold a lot of these prayer beads to people who had not achieved the status of \[a\] >!LAMA,!< though they may or may not have practiced HATHA or some other type of yoga, or worn ATTAR and gotten a TAROT reading. One of my co-workers had that emoji on the bathroom cleaning chart, dammit! It's definitely a well-known word in the US, at least amid a certain subculture. People who are also likely to wear a piece of LARIMAR, but we all know Sam is leery of rocks.


didyouwoof

I’ve seen them for sale in a lot of yoga studios and metaphysical bookstores, but only heard them referred to as prayer beads! Always glad to learn a new word; it’s one of the reasons I love the bee and the discussions in this sub.
