there are a couple of words today that I wasn't sure are real words, but I tried them anyway. There is also one omission of a word that I know exists but isn't included in the puzzle.
Got the QB today without hints for the first time in a few weeks. No esoteric words today. There was one that I wasn't certain was a legit word, but I tried and it is. Other than that pretty straight forward, so a good day to go for it.
The pangram came easily to me today, and I was able to get to Genius quickly..too quickly for my liking. My only complaint today is that there were so few words...I'm currently at 20 with 92 points...that I flew through the puzzle in no time. I prefer a puzzle with a greater word bank.
I usually don't get annoyed by words they don't recognize (although they seem to be very happy with internet slang!) - but "anole" and "bankbook" are both recognizable words! Anoles were part of the third-grade NJ state science curriculum for years (don't know if they still are, but both of my kids volunteered to bring home the class anoles once that unit was finished - I still remember one of the little lizards jumping all over the bathtub as we tried to change its tank - I was afraid it would run into the faucet and get lost in our plumbing!!!!) But neither word is considered OK in today's game.

I think it was two days ago, the puzzle had beeline, offline, and online. But they still don't take inline.
