Spelling Bee appeals to the women.

I reveal the first 2 things I found in today's NYT Spelling Bee:

It's like the bots have been reading your Roe posts over the last weeks and gave you the perfect puzzle.

Notary Sojac કહ્યું...

They reject ABATTOIR however.

gilbar કહ્યું...

aviator is what i see

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

You've got to use the middle letter, so "aviator" won't work.

I don't know why they didn't accept "abattoir" (which is a hard word to believe you've spelled right).

Lyle Sanford, RMT કહ્યું...

rejecting abattoir while accepting ribbit is so arbitrary

Curious George કહ્યું...

"Spelling Bee appeals to the women."

You some kind of biologist?

Inquiry કહ્યું...

Vibrato works there. It appeals to the musically inclined woman.

Ann Althouse કહ્યું...

“ so arbitrary”

Yesterday, they accepted “impediment” and rejected “pediment.”

AlbertAnonymous કહ્યું...

Arbitrary and inaccuracies? Appeals to women? Nahhhhhh

Roger von Oech કહ્યું...

I did the NYT SPELLING BEE for about a week last September until I got the “Genius” score two days in a row. I decided that it was an enormous TIME SINK (a waste of time) and haven’t returned since.

John Pearley Huffman કહ્યું...

Bravo

Which is both a compliment and usable word.

RideSpaceMountain કહ્યું...

There's apparently no love for Borat at Meadehouse. Not very nice!

John Pearley Huffman કહ્યું...

Bravo

Which is both a compliment and usable word.

John Pearley Huffman કહ્યું...

Bravo

Which is both a compliment and usable word.

TVOAT કહ્યું...

Was BOOB your third?

Gulistan કહ્યું...

Don't forget 'boob'

Joe Smith કહ્યું...

Just don't ever ask a woman to abort her vibrator...

FWBuff કહ્યું...

The omissions are always frustrating, but it is by far my favorite word game. Bee Twitter is also fun because of lots of like-minded word nerds. #hivemind #nytspellingbee

Jake કહ્યું...

Use the vibrator
on a regular basis
no need to abort

Unknown કહ્યું...

And boob of course.

FunkyPhD કહ્યું...

They accepted "vibrato." I also got vibrator, and I'm not a woman.

FunkyPhD કહ્યું...

They accepted “vibrato,” and I also found “vibrator.” And I’m not a woman.

n.n કહ્યું...

Use the vibrator
on a regular basis
no need to abort


The Spelling Bee's subliminal messaging to women. The vibrato effect is imperative to answering the question: to have sex or abstain. Unfortunately, it doesn't mitigate collateral damage from social progress and immigration reform.

robother કહ્યું...

Saying "bravo" to Althouse? Surely, "brava" is le mot juste. But I'm no biologist.

Bill AKA motorave કહ્યું...

I don't know the rules but there is only 1 r and 1 t so vibrato but no ending r.
also no abattoir

Marc in Eugene કહ્યું...

I stopped doing SB precisely because too many words that I found weren't accepted; eventually I stopped applying to whoever it was (or perhaps is) to redress my grievances. This was back in the days when players got gold stars for 'pangrams'. Did the software recognise barrator today?

There's a small dictionary in my privy chamber: when I feel the inclination I open it up and, selecting a word at random, spell.
