I try DECILE every time. 0 for 4. OCTILE is 0 for 6. QUARTILE takes 8 letters and contains E & R. QUINTILE would be a pangram, but those letters have never appeared together.

Unlike 3 days ago, when the answer list was 65% gerunds, today’s gerundfest is only 43%, which feels a lot more normal. Roots aplenty at bee-roots.com. #hivemind #nytspellingbee

I don’t know if 24 gerunds out of 37 answers is a record, but it has to be close. Most of the roots at bee-roots.com aren’t in the answer list directly. #hivemind #nytspellingbee

She’s hanging in there. After she sees the surgeon on Thursday, she may graduate from in-home to outpatient physical therapy.

Wow! Seven compounds, including three of the four pangrams, out of a way-less-than-average-sized answer list. Find clues at the always-under-construction bee-roots.com. #hivemind #nytspellingbee

I understand that there are more than enough pangrams today, but how can CONCOMITANT be left out? There’s an empty chair for it at bee-roots.com. #hivemind #nytspellingbee

I couldn’t remember which letter in the frustration word was doubled, so I said it before I could spell it. It’s still grumbling at bee-roots.com. #hivemind #nytspellingbee
