It's never a good sign when #nytspellingbee doesn't take your opening guesses (DILUVIAL and DILUVIAN). #hivemind, you can always let out a little frustration by starting #Wordle with a SHART. It's a good opener TBH. (not today's game in pic)

KOFTA. Geez, Louise. Someone show him a halal cart plz. #nytspellingbee

OCOTILLO #nytspellingbee

CENOTE #nytspellingbee

Omissions from #nytspellingbee: mitotic, hinoki, oohing, elemi, tuile, uncial, piadina, bacalao, bubo, colloidal, pignoli, tooltip, cuvee, tinto, animalic, larb, galbi, gooking, papillary, paillard, ananda, cenote, downlow, cavatappi, canto, incel, ...

I'm sure I'm late to this party, but still worth flippin' a table for CALUMET in #nytspellingbee

CHIMICHURRI #NYTSPELLINGBEE

The jet bridge failed to attach to our aircraft (DL5438) because the Nashville airport (BNS) lost power. They do not know what to do with us.

I guess it's too hot for CAVATAPPI. #nytspellingbee

I'm having a re-think of the airline loyalty treadmill lifestyle. On the block is Delta Skymiles. Pros: customer service that answers quickly, good routes and partner airlines. Cons: front cabin experience that feels like you're in a 1987 MRI machine--ethernet and all; dwindling beverage selection.

THEANINE #nytspellingbee

The only way I can figure out how I received this email is that Eric Adams has co-opted the NYC Notify emergency mailing list for his own purposes. Every day with him is just another supersize portion of sketch.

I don't usually play to QB these days, but given today's celebratory edition of #nytspellingbee, which after 2500 puzzles finally includes a long-missing sailing apparatus, how could I resist? Maybe for the 5000th anniversary, they will finally add ANNATTO.

Ouch #nytspellingbee

Dear #nytspellingbee ... How do we miss basic food items? Has the editor never had fish and chips?

This one and PHTHALATE boil my blood. #nytspellingbee

Am I misremembering what spelling of PAPADAM / PAPADUM / POPPADUM this damn puzzle used to take? #Nytspellingbee

Our lavatory backed up and overflowed on descent "excessively," and the pool of excrement is preventing us from de-planing Delta flight 979 lax to JFK #dl0979 #poop #tilt

Does anyone else enjoy finding the secret messages buried in #nytimes word games? I know, I know.... I'm doing them all wrong. #nytspellingbee #2solve

It's like a #2solve but it takes the scenic route. I'm going to have to file a bug report (@nytguildtech?); the interface got so garbled that I had to fix it up in Photoshop just to see where I was going! Does anyone test this thing? We can't all solve it in two words.

I tried to get my cat to opine on the lack of COBBY in today's #nytspellingbee. He preferred instead to demonstrate. #cobbybody #britishshorthair #DontDreamItBeIt

Wordle was a bloodbath today. I got stuck for 20m in Spelling Bee trying to find what I thought I had already typed. Connections was the most fun. And Letterboxed went to 11--like, seriously, don't even try it unless you're a real connoisseur of J words. #nytspellingbee #2solve

For All Mankind = The L Word in space

I'm skeptical of The #Wordle Bot. If it doesn't understand your strategy, it attributes your success to luck rather than skill. I just started using it, so the bot and I need to become better acquainted. Does it eventually concede that nobody can be lucky every day? It has a #badwhiff about it.

This is one of the best moments of next generation because Q is this omnipotent judge of humanity and walks into the ships TGI Fridays and is like “oh fuck she’s doing the finger thing!!!!” and no one ever mentions it or asks Guinan what this finger thing is or why she only runs the TGI Fridays

I mean, it tracks. #rfkjr #awormatemybrain

There should be bonus points in #nytspellingbee

In Senegal, when you place your napkin in your lap, they bring you another one. It is so endearing.

Gregg Araki is 64 years old. That's where we are today.

Dear Google, thank you for hearing me out on this. "Weather in Dakar" is not "weather in da car." Do people even have weather in d'eir car?

"creating iron clouds that drip molten iron rain" #wasp76b

I think it would be the greatest single improvement to #civilization for East-West street crossings to be signaled by the Bee Gee's "Stayin' Alive" and North-South ones by Donna Summers' "I Feel Love." How could anyone stay mad at anyone? #YouCsnTellByTheWayIUseMyWalk

The NY Times suggests that we experience the #eclipse by averting our gaze from the sky altogether and instead brandish the Colander of Doom from whose shadow we can trace the #terror as one by one the holes go dark.

After years of playing #nytspellingbee, I've learned to take most omissions in stride; but this one really stings. Has the editor srsly never been to a grocery store, Sephora, or any of a dozen other places where the phrase "no phthalates" is omnipresent? #nytsb #TheHorror #fail

In trying to read a breadth of views about the Gaza conflict, I've found @theguardian.bsky.social to be one of the best sources for an angle that leans pro-Palestine. The genocide essay by Jason Stanley was nuanced and moving. So why foist inflammatory language into cheap headlines like this? Gross.

This might be the most obnoxious and obscure Letterboxed two-solved of all time. TBH I don't even know what the second word means...I just strung together the remaining five letters.

I love it when women have fun hobbies

I feel the time has come for NYTSpellingBee to find its woman parts, big and small. Especially since it can find the man parts *and* the acts performed on them. My 2¢.

By the time I start smashing letters in NYTimesSpellingBee to discover words that I may not already know (eg GAMIN!), I'm usually nearing the end of my game. I'm going to keep pushing myself with yesterday's puzzle since it would be the first time I could potentially score over 500 points... (cont)

I'm all for Sen Menendez receiving his due process...but, c'mon, when you're funding your legal defense with gold bars, you did it. Whatever it is, you definitely did it.

BABUSHKA ADJOINT did not come easy in Letterboxed

Was wondering about the status of hashtags on this platform and stumbled across this fascinating history slash nudging from the "godfather of hashtags." medium.com/chris-messin...

I'm still trying to decide whether Letterboxed is fun, but it is indeed very gratifying to solve it in two words.

One of my parents' cats has become obsessed with the possibility that something might come out of the printer/fax machine. And so he waits.

Hear me out: an iteration of GTA where you have to navigate all the insurance claims you caused from every prior game. It's a first-person stupor.

Society if Azealia Banks had finished the job

It's lovely when a game has no egregious omissions (that I noticed). #nytspellingbee
