Today must have been one the intern made. I haven't made QB in ages. I did have to look at the hints to know how many were left once I got a few past Genius though.
Got the QB today. Fourth time this month (including one where I got the last word using the hints), after going weeks without getting it. Seems like there have been several SBs with relatively few words over the past few weeks. That's to my advantage, because even if all the words in a puzzle are in my vocabulary, I'm not likely to get 65 or 70 words. After about 50 or 55 words or so, I tend to burn out staring at the puzzle.
QB for me too! Had to look at how many words were left but I got it! At first I thought you all were talking about yesterday. I was no where near QB yesterday...
I lucked into it, but could never imagine using it in oral or written communication.
Really stupid. I kept trying combinations of words and like you, stumbled into it. That's what you get when you have a 20 something editing the puzzle. Words that are real are not included; words that are not, are.
I'm a newbie, but I already see a word today that is not recognized.
Get used to it, and accept it. There is no point in emailing about the word. Resist the temptation to enter the word in future puzzles, as it wont be accepted then either.

There are words they should accept but don't, words that are accepted that shouldn't be, and proper nouns occassionally sneak in there.
so the two words I got with hints were: "auto" and "tattoo"
I'm trying an experiment this week. I'm going to try to get to Genius without hints and then use them to try to get QB. Today I got QB in about 15 minutes after starting to use the hints. It's a good day to go for it. Only a couple of words that aren't that common in usage (but very common in SB).

congrats on both QB's....I missed yesterday by two: "gotta", a word I usually get, and "glottal" I word I've heard of but just didn't see..
... today I'm 2 short of QB and likely to stay there
I missed a few yesterday that I had not heard before.
Homonymy, hogan, and mynah.
Of course I've heard of anyhoo but I thought that was slang.
