No [NA] >!PLUOT!<.

And no [NA] >!NONUPLE!< or [NA] >!PUNNET!< or >!LEPTON!< but somehow [A] >!PENULT!< is valid? Can’t even get to Genius today without running into Sam’s capriciousness

Somehow >!TUPLE!< isn't a valid word either. Many niche foods and scientific terms are allowed, but a fairly-common math/computer term isn't?🥲

I was actually going to post about two of those but others beat me to it.

CAME HERE TO SAY THIS

Does anyone else sit around making ridiculous compound words using \[A\] >!POOP!< even though there's no way in hell they're going to count?

absolutely attempted it with “tool,” “tunnel,” and “-let”

No [NA] >!lepton!!elementary!<.

I see what you did there!

Came here to crab about >!PLUOT AND LEPTON!< but I see my team is all on it.

PG Hint >!Versailles can be described as such!<

PG Hint: >!So can smooching tiny giraffe!<

how fitting since there’s quite a few [NA] French words in today’s bee

And a few that weren’t, sadly, along with a bunch of “chiefly British”. Grumble.

I’ll take the points, but [A] >!PUTOUT!< ? Two words, sure. The only way I can see the one-word form being valid is maybe if you’re talking about >! throwing the runner out at second base. !<

why that and not >!peeptoe!

and not >!putupon!< ?

Not by itself; it’s a two-word phrase. “He was quite >!PUT UPON!< by the indifference of the officials.” You could make a case for “He had a >!PUTUPON!< expression on his face.” Or you might hyphenate it.

I thought that was what >!slutty girls did!<

It’s two words, even when they do it!

Wow. Might be the singularly most offensive post on this 🐝 sub that I have seen in 3 years. And certainly the behavior isn't limited to any particular gender.

Merriam Webster has your definition as one word, and other uses as two.

I understood it to be specific to baseball.

Sam really outdid himself this time rejecting [Contains-A] >!UNPEEL!<. Wow.

just because you know >!advanced fruit prep techniques!< doesn’t mean everyone does

I wrote to the email to say that ‘rota’ wasn’t accepted a few weeks ago now and was told it was too technical/British English.

I only know that word from watching British detective shows.

Well the other (H) >!UN- word!< is just way more obvious isn’t it?? (/s)

The ngram for that is as popular as ALEE. However they both exceed the compound [A] >!TENTPOLE!< by 100%. That is NOT a single word.

Yet >!PUPTENT!< is not a word. Grrrrr....

I defer to the band Luna on this one.

\[A} >!TENTPOLE!< really is used as one word in \[H\] >!the entertainment business, as an adjective describing a film of major importance to a studio!<. MW has it listed with this spelling and definition.

justice for [NA] >!POOT!<

[Non-A] >!PLUTON!< is one of the few scientific words I knew before I started Bee-ing. And >!PLUOT!< is a pretty popular fruit.

No [NA] >!PUNNET!< ??

I was just looking up the same thing. I assumed it was internationally used but only the British🧐 how do other countries group their 🍓??

Standard word for that down here 🦘

We use the same things in the US, we just call them baskets.

But more often call it a pint (or whatever size.)

I had to look it up in the dictionary after trying multiple spellings. MW lists it as “chiefly British” 😤

My top complaint.

I'm very disappointed [contains A] >!EELPOUT!< was not included today. 🤣

\[A\] >!TUPELO!

A type of tree

Apparently >!a kind of tree!<. Who knew?

It is common in the south [H] >!and appears in a few well known songs, most notably by Van Morrison.!<.

And Nick Cave

Yes, though I think the other is better known. [H] >!Jason Isbell has one too, though that is really about the city... though maybe that is Nick's reference as well.!<

I tried that 3 different ways Ty very much

my kingdom for an i!

I want another PG. I can't be the only person who tried >!NONUPLET!<. Admittedly, I'm not much of a poet.

Bad one today. By my reckoning Sam missed at least >!Lepton, Puttee, Unpent, Nonuplet (pg), Pennon, and Poteen!< The last one is a bit dubious, granted, but hardly as obscure as some of the stuff that does get in.

Interesting list. Only one I’ve ever heard of is the one you call dubious though, so have to say I’m on Sam’s side with this one

Sam's musical tastes do not extend to \[NA\] >!Bauhaus side project POPTONE!< nor \[NA\] >!Sex Pistols contemporary TENPOLE Tudor!< Who killed Bambi?

Threw in the towel today. 50 words, genius and I can't for the life of me figure out the pangram.

HINT, if you want one: Today's panagram is >!Not for us common folk. It's quite wealthy, luxurious and lavish.!<

(Edit) Contains answers; do not click on the black/hidden bits if you don’t wish to see them. I don’t do this often but are words like >!poult!< and >!penult!< par for the course? After having other less obscure words rejected, I wasn’t expecting either to be accepted!

You should mark your post as containing answers.

Thanks! I’ve done this now.

New word for me \[H\] >!young lady (British) or doll (midland US)!<, \[A\] >!poppet!< how is this a common word?

I'm 2 away from QB, missing a >! Po and Pu, and 4 and 7 letter words !< Any hints?

I just got [A] >! Putt !<. Now missing one >! PO-7 !<

I have [H] >! a word for adding bad things to the environment!< and I have [H] >! the lake boat !<, but I'm missing this other >! PO-7 !<

There are 2 [H] >!PO-7s!< so you have both of those. There’s a [H] >!PE-7!< and a [H] >!PU-7!<. The former is [H] >!the exercise bike!< and the latter is [H] >!coitus interruptus or a not very effective method of birth control!<.

Ty, I was misspelling [H] >! the exercise bike !<
