I thought diem would at least be a bonus word.

Holy crap.

Also the biggest obstacle currently stopping me from doing well on this puzzle is my fat fingers.

I prefer doing the smaller/normal ones on the phone, but yeah, for this 7*7 beast a keyboard would've been far preferable

I'm playing one of the other puzzles. Man this is taking a while.

I'm now at the same word count you are (minus two bonus words), it's funny how we have four of the same letters grayed out and one different, and we've clearly found some very different words based on letters/uses remaining.

I've done all of them with roughly 500 words or less. I won't do larger because the letters get too small on my phone.

how is Arbalest only bonus word? I use that daily! Well, ok, maybe not, but the line between bonus or not bonus is pretty sketchy quite often. According to the faq it's based on words the people in the discord know or recognize...well, I know different words than they do.

fucking LIMEADE? That's a regular word and not a bonus one? I had trouble finding it even when I literally only had those seven letters left. Jesus christ. Never encountered it in my life. Faun, milady, lien, mien, those are all bonus words but limeade is something we all know and drink?!

I will not be doing the Arbor day puzzle. A 10x10 grid with 866 words to find? NOPE, I'm out.

a quick Google teaches me that today's Bonus word appears ten times more often on the internet than yesterday's seven letter word. Whoever decides these things deserves a smack on the head.

These things are not good for my mental health. So close yet so far....

I do love the Supernatural (show) references in there, though I finding it a bit irksome that despite the fact that

Spoiler

"assbutt" is so prominently featured on the diagonal (and yet clearly was never going to be a real word or bonus word on the list) it doesn't even merit a little angel emoji or something when you guess that word...alas!

The Arbor day one will have to wait for my wits to recover and for access to a bigger screen, though.

The fact that k could be followed by n completely slipped my mind, which made this puzzle harder than it needed to be.

Also I think eked should be more than a bonus word.

Agreed. Though I didn't forget about that.

Today's was nice and easy. Only reason I didn't get perfect accuracy is because of fat fingers.

What do they mean "blorp" is not a word? Blorp is a perfectly cromulent word!

I am once again appalled and amazed by the word list.

nerfed is not a bonus word? Efreet? I underage these aren't main words, but come on! They're valid!

I posit that if centered and recenter are both considered valid words, then recentered should be too.

Dammit @bhamv3, you really insist on having more bonus words than me every day don't you?!

 

[bhamv3]

I get lots of bonus words because when I get stuck, I start trying random combinations of letters. This means I'll never get the perfect accuracy bonus or the time bonus, but oftentimes I'll accidentally get bonus words.
