Monday 1/20 #nytxw debut by Katie Byl & longtime constructor Jeff Chen is an homage to the best, most loyal, loving friends. Here’s my granddog, the absolute best girl. Nice start to the week, Katie & Jeff! #CrosswordSky #GridSky

2/24/24 Terrific Saturday #nytxw from @rebecculous.bsky.social & @rafaxword.bsky.social. Smooth, fresh, with sparkly & funny clueing. LOL’d at a few. Love the 10s - got a couple with almost no crosses. Really enjoyed the solve. Thanks Rebecca & Rafa! #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Bee catchup.
Wed 1/17/24 #NYTSpellingBee–recent repeats &removal of a word enough known that it was accepted 4x incl 2x last year. I confidently put it in as I remember it being ok. Now it’s not. Did I miss the justification somewhere? Always possible, but never happens. #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Sunday & Monday #NYTSpellingBee - one with some complexity, one with none. Had to work a little on several interesting words in Sunday’s, but Monday was under 10 minutes to QB & that long only because fast typing on the tiny keyboard is hard to do. A tale of two cities. #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Longish Thursday #NYTSpellingBee is suffix and P heavy and no debuts. A few very recent repeats and all gettable. Meh #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Wednesday #NYTSpellingBee. Short with a few very recent repeats but they managed to squeeze in a couple of debuts so I’m good with this one. #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Tuesday #NYTSpellingBee–short & 1/4 are suffixes of accepted words so it’s really very short. One previously denied debut–always glad to see that. But it wasn’t the word that was rejected 28 times & I forgot it finally was accepted 6 times this year so almost didn’t try. #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Monday #NYTSpellingBee has the long pangram(s) we were warned about but they were actually not intimidating or hard to get–I got the longest one almost immediately & easily got the others following the pattern. The rest was very long but relatively fast. #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Friday #NYTSpellingBee - one debut previously nixed, lotsa suffix - long, but a pretty fast one.
Saturday #NYTSpellingBee is all repeats, some very recent - so kind of a bore. Good pangram and nicely distributed though. #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Thurs #NYTSpellingBee: sure why not repeat words from 2 days ago. Because it’s avoidable. You don’t have to run a bee with 4out of 7 letter matches, 2 days later, if you care about your paying customers. So other than one or two slightly interesting words, this is a yawn. #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Short Wednesday #NYTSpellingbee - all repeats, one or two you might know only from the Bee. Very easy and fast solve. #CrosswordSky #GridSky

Monday’s #NYTSpellingbee was mid length, one previously disallowed debut that was a mash for me and the rest known but mostly not too recent.
Quick Tuesday #NYTSpellingBee: Nothing new, but some silly stuff in there.

Sunday #NYTSpellingBee is very long, full of suffix & way out of balance, but 10 debuts, 3 pangrams, & allowing one that should’ve always been in makes up for it. I’m ok with the 1 newly disallowed –it’s archaic & was only in once. Good one to end the year. Happy 2024!🎉 #CrosswordSky
