Woot! Good job, Jim! I am a few words shy. Probably won't get there.
Thanks Karen!
Was your final word "haka"? Never heard of it, and likely won't remember it. They are so arbitrary in their use of words... Although the editor is only 26 years old.

I was too busy yesterday (went to see Ringo last night ) to get back to the puzzle, so finished 5 words short. But when I saw "haka," I knew there was no way I would have got QB. Somehow I thought I had entered "cakey" but apparently I hadn't. So I'm not sure I would have noticed I didn't have that one either.

Well, that's a very good and fun reason not to finish! I was surprised "cakey" and "caky" made the list but I got them both, because, why not try? I missed "haka," "papaya" and "papacy." Should have only been one shy...

It was indeed.
sometimes it does seem arbitrary. "Kappa" was a word yesterday. I'm pretty sure "gamma" is not one of their words. I don't care if a word I guess isn't in the puzzle. But if they're not going to have some Greek letters, it means sometimes I don't think to try others. Sometimes I do because what the heck. But why should "kappa" be in a puzzle, but "gamma" isn't.
I think the Times may be overestimating the time people can spend on the bee. Hundreds and hundreds of points? Like 300-plus? That seems like a major commitment for something that’s supposed to be a fun brain teaser.

Whew! Got to genius! I feel accomplished.
I'm generally content with Genius. It's really hard to get every single word. I have a pretty good vocabulary, but some of the words are awfully obscure ("haka"? really? I'm supposed to be familiar with a Maori posture dance that involves the entire body in vigorous rhythmic movements?)

I'm always happy to get to Genius and even happier when I get to within striking distance of QB. So far this year, I've only gotten to QB once.

Yes, it was much too beautiful to spend the entire day in front of the computer. I had to settle for amazing.
