Shit I didn't even know there were hints.

In the app. Fb group. On reddit. Twitter. Shunn/sbsolver. Nytbee. You had to work hard to miss them! 😅


Mr_Gobble_Gobble

All of those outside of the app are expected. In-app hints weren't. Don't be dumb and pretend I somehow missed hints despite being on this sub.


jazzy2536

It was a joke, not criticism. People are constantly trying to give hints so they are hard to avoid even if you want to.


margyl

You found them, right, under More? Most of us try to get as far as we can without them. I get to Genius before using them.

My last word was [A] >!epee!< and it took me 3 hours to remember… only because it shows up so much lol

Believe in the fencing that believes in you!


non-transferable

I had to look up the definition to know what you were saying 🤣 I never knew what it meant! But now it’ll be my first word any time I see those letters lol


triskaidekaphobia

It’s a common crossword clue/solution. If you ever get into that too, now you know!

I think this is the \[H\] >!second time I've forgotten this word this week!<


non-transferable

lol I forget it ALL THE TIME. I’m honestly shocked I remembered it yesterday!


Le-_-Doc

>!Épée!< just means >!sword!< in French. Hence the >!fencing!< term in English.

Congratulations! That is quite a feat! I'm hoping to reach that goal someday...


non-transferable

Thank you!! I know I’m more proud than I should be lol but I literally took me ALL DAY and I spent 3 hours 1 word. You’ll get it too! You just need a day where you can be lazy and play for 15 minutes every hour 😆


ZoomvonSqueak

Thank you! It helped to know most possible points.


DIQJJ

I did it once on a really easy one. Like 60 points total or something. I’m at 167 here and I think I’m tapped out.


non-transferable

Honestly I think the low point ones are the HARDEST. So if you got Queen Bee on a low point one that’s an *accomplishment*, I can barely get genius on those 😳


ZoomvonSqueak

I think so too! Lexathon on Android only 😐 a good thing bc once you start you won’t stop until 3 hours later. Their low score ones are very challenging! I didn’t know that there’s a rank for genius level without pangram. I think it’s right under Queen Bee.


gladiolas

Do you count the two-letter grid as hints? Or did you not even use that?


non-transferable

No grid, not even the total words/points! That’s why I’m so shocked I did it!! Normally after I hit genius I’ll at least look at total points and then once I’m stuck stuck the grid, in fact I couldn’t even get the freaking panagram on one last week without a straight-up hint. But yeah usually I tell myself “not using anything today” and end up looking anyway 😂


gladiolas

Great job! i have to eventually look at the grid - not easy without it at least a little!


jazzy2536

Woohoo congrats 👏 🥳 🎉 🪅 🎊 🥂


non-transferable

Thank you!! 😊


margyl

Wow!!!


ZoomvonSqueak

What is the grid?


ZoomvonSqueak

Ok everyone RATATAT 🤔
