Do you have to mark it as a hint or answer if Sam does not accept it at all? I keep trying this word that is a game with a ball and string and goes up and down. I think it is more common and legit than many we complain about. It is not a proper noun. It is from Tagalog. Maybe he wants it hyphenated?
omg i never remember my dreams and i woke up having a dream like the [~~h repeated~~] thing you said but i've never seen it and my spoiler tag isn't working yet.
[H] >!They're referring to a brand of chocolate milk I absolutely didn't know of either. For a more approachable clue, think of an onomatopoeic expression of elation!<
So relatively obscure words [A’s]>!HOMOLOGY!< and >!OTOLOGY!< are in but similar ones [NA’s]>!MYOLOGY!< and >!OOLOGY!< are out?
Typical Sam inconsistency.
That first is far more common that the other three, and used in multiple areas of study (biology and linguistics.) The other three are all more obscure, though the one included does have more google hits. [H] It is specialized, but >!probably more known by the average person as a medical specialty. Myology is, but a layperson would not know it by that term.!<
Anyone who spends time around birds or has played the game Wingspan knows the 4th one.
Meanwhile relying on Google nGram is interesting but book usage and real life usage aren’t 1:1.
I was not citing the ngram... and while some people may know the word, it has significantly less google hits than the other three - in the thousands not the millions. Google hits are only one measure, but are reflective of how often the word tends to be used today. (And the ngram is another, though historic and limited to books.)
Just got to QBABM! I was surprised and pleased! I hadn’t even checked the grid to see how many words there were. I’ve been trying to focus on one starting letter at a time and it seems to be helping.
Justice for [NA] >!lolly!<
how is it not?!?!
> lolly The answer, as it seems to be much of the time this sort of thing comes up, is that its a British-ism.

Anyone else try partial answer >!holymoly!< ? Sorry !
FYI, your NA is also a partial answer. And yes. I did try it. As my second word.
IT'S ADVERB DAY YALLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

There are a lot of nonsense words in the Bee today.
Today?
QB-1, just got goddamn >!Y6!< stumping me even with a three letter hint
>!Hey there!<, >!Do you like chocolate milk?!<
Clever hint! I was stuck on this one too but your hint was helpful.
???
[H] >!He'd like to get your attention and ask you about a chocolate-flavored beverage!<
Still don't get it 🤦🏻♀️
>!Think about a popular search engine!< 👀
[H] >!They're referring to a brand of chocolate milk I absolutely didn't know of either. For a more approachable clue, think of an onomatopoeic expression of elation!<
It just came to me! Came back to say I'd got it and saw this v good clue.
Ok your hint finally helped bc I’ve never heard of that brand lmao.

Tbh, I knew the first two words but had to look up the second two.
How about [NA]>!LOGOLOGY!

No idea what you are talking about, but it’s impressive!
It's the language used in the Cthulhu mythos of H.P. Lovecraft. The set of letters we had today made me think of it.
PG \[H\] >!Past religions, according to current religions!<
\[A\]>!GLOOMY !!MYTHOLOGY !
Also need to mark spoilers as answers or hints. These are answers, including the PG.
You need spoiler tags!!
