I would really like to have a button to press for "hey, if NONILLION or ALFALFA or any of the other words I always forget are in there, just give me credit for them?". Also to automate the BOOBOO/BONBON/BONOBO entries.

NATAL/NATALLY/NATANT

elliemargolis.bsky.social•10 days ago

Oh I also have a whole list of words I always forget. “entente” is probably number one.

adambonin.bsky.social•10 days ago

I don't have a problem with entente/tenet. I will often miss something when it's nineteen/nineteenth/ninetieth.

lindaholmes.bsky.social•10 days ago

RATATAT, PITAPAT, CALLALOO, NONILLION, APPELLEE, BAOBAB, TOMTIT.

I go down that list every day in my head.

tammigaw.bsky.social•10 days ago

Googol, tenement, catalpa like excuse me? 😂

chrisswartout.bsky.social•10 days ago

GOOGOL.

I recall there was a Spelling bee podcast called "Tomtit and Baobab" a few years ago.

lindaholmes.bsky.social•10 days ago

Ohhhh, yeah, googol is a good one.

adambonin.bsky.social•10 days ago

Except at least on that one, googol is the original number for 1 with 100 zeros. I knew that pre-Bee. I'm still convinced nonillion is made up.

(I forget tomtit all the time.)

My goal every day is to make it to Genius, then I have my validation for the day. At least someone thinks I am smart.

elliemargolis.bsky.social•10 days ago

BAOBAB for sure! Also GIGOLO, ACACIA, and some trumpet sound word that starts with TA that I can't even think of now and always miss.

adambonin.bsky.social•10 days ago

I always forget GIGOLO. I also have no idea what HATHA is, but I know that it's a word here.

Hatha is a kind of yoga. I rarely hear it on its own as opposed to being a descriptor in "hatha yoga," though.

elsajeni.bsky.social•10 days ago

COCOON for some reason (it makes me furious because it’s a REGULAR WORD, why can’t I ever think of it!)

I’ve come across “alcopop” before but definitely only in a UK context. Meanwhile I just tried to google it [Spelling Bee does accept “google”], mistyped, and got this helpful information

wovenstrap.bsky.social•10 days ago

It's a crime that the Bee did not accept ALCOPOO.
