One word shy today and I am just not seeing it. I'll keep working at it...
same here. Yesterday too. Penne (Doh!)

Got it! Last word was cellule.
That's the one I missed.
thought today I'd be the one singing the QB -1 blues but took a lucky guess and just got to QB

Wow! Congrats! Not even close...
79 words today. Holy cow.
Even using the Buddy I can't get the last word.
according to this site, yesterday was the second highest number of words and points in the history of SB:

I was at 63 words when I got to genius. At that point I was burnt out on the puzzle and I went to the Buddy. Made it to 78 but even with hints I couldn't get "trigram." I did not know that was a word.

yesterday was one of those days where getting to Genius was good enough for me.

the sheer number of words made it tough. Most of the 16 words I did not get when I made it to Genius were not uncommon. I didn't have migrating, migrant, immigrant, immigrating, etc. Sometimes I just can't stare at the puzzle any more

Got QB for the first time in a while today.
congrats...I'm QB -5 today... didn't t even get the pangram but nonetheless made it to Genius and am fine with that.
made it to QB today after many a day of near misses and many more of barely making it past Genius.
-5 yesterday. I missed some seriously easy words, like "barn." Oh well...
should have persisted yesterday. There wasn't a single obscure word among the ones I missed.
Anyone here do the daily KenKens? (Yes, I still get a newspaper.) If so, have they gotten harder recently or am I getting stupider?

QB is doable today. Just got it. Should have had it earlier...
congrats...QB -3 here: should have gotten "blah" and "libidinal" but never would have gotten "blin"
I have to admit that "blin" was a bit of a typo. Going for "blini" and hit return too soon.

Ended up QB-1. Somehow thought about "wigwag" while away from the computer but missed "wanna."

I used the Buddy to get QB yesterday when I stalled at -3. Would not likely have gotten "wigwag" on my own. And I didn't know pawpaw has an alternate spelling.
I try to get QB without using Buddy hints, but if I'm really close and feeling stumped, I will.
