Here's to my friend Mario! 🍷 He'd host a huge Sunday lunch at his house, and then we'd all go out in the garden, drink wine, and play a game from his childhood in Italy - true story. #nytspellingbee #nytsb #hivemind #WordLovers #LanguageLovers #EduCommunity @nytgames.bsky.social

Did you hear about the guy who argued with himself? He got so annoyed at his own point that he started scheduling rebuttals for his own rebuttals. #nytspellingbee #nytsb #hivemind #WordLovers #LanguageLovers #EduCommunity @nytgames.bsky.social

Gameboard only. I'd rather have posted yesterday's, but I needed the grid for DINAR. On internal repeat play: Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC... #nytspellingbee #hivemind #nytsb

#hivemind #nytspellingbee I was able to renew my fading career when I got a new teased-up hairstyle. I made a brief but memorable appearance in a movie playing someone in a vegetative state. & I wrote a recipe guide to make hot choc & torte. The show host loved it www.nytimes.com/badges/games...

#hivemind #nytsb #nytspellingbee Got QB early this AM but this nanny/granny job leaves me little time to post. My mesencephalon is underused; I feel like a blockhead or an uncultured foreigner. I wish I could speak Chinese. Also wish male ornithologist was accepted! www.nytimes.com/badges/games...

@spellingbee-play.bsky.social : So, if we're ok with the center of the head, why not the center of the farm structure? #nytspellingbee

@lohyb.bsky.social Bienvenue!

I’m not enjoying this one. Got the pangram first but it took a long time. I’m at Amazing but still 38 points to G, and I’m bored with it.

Jeebus what a pain in the butt this was. Many compound and other oddball words. #nytspellingbee #hivemind #nytsb www.nytimes.com/badges/games...

A rare miss on the pg first for me.

4/17/26 Pangram was tenth word. Tricky one. Lots of compound words. Might look again later. #nytspellingbee #hivemind #nytsb www.nytimes.com/badges/games...

Tried it. And rainbird, and tailing. Nada

Fun one today, lots of words we dont see all the time. Of course my last word (M6) is one we have seen before and I struggled to get it then, too.
