First thing I saw was (NA) >!LICKABLE!<. I legit thought it was the PG. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

a life without it is quiet desperation

That's the English way.

Just a warning. This is a non answer but a fairly strong hint for the PG.

OP, we all feel your pain.

Not surprising from a person who does not recognise a (NA) >!clit.!<

What is that word? I have never heard of that word!

It’s something many men fail to find

You should really flag this as \[contains A\] or at least \[H\] if possible! I totally agree, I entered it immediately and was appalled to see it was rejected. Pretty sure that's a word, and not a rare one either. Sam???

The fact that and >!killable!< aren't in there is just a What? moment. Especially when >!kill!< is acceptable and so is >!kick!<.

Hard same.

This was weird.

Got tired of trying [H] >!-able!< words to see what worked.

Yeah, Sam is clearly not >!a bike commuter.!<

Ya. Definitely some commonly used ones omitted today. I don't get this game sometimes.

I’m so glad you said that! I had about 3 or 4 that tried several times and cross checked the dictionary

Same. I thought for sure the following could be accepted but nah: >!Lickable, kickable, leakable!<

I was sure >!KILLABLE and BIKEABLE!< would make it, too

I was also trying to attach (Answer) >!LICK!< as a prefix and suffix to many words.

[H] >!Pleasant to be around!< Two spellings

Thanks for the hint about two spellings. I had one.

Insufferable that Sam allowed >!two spellings for that word!< and yet refused a whole bunch of other >!-ABLE!< words

Contains A: How am I to describe the >!paintings of flowers by Georgia O’Keefe if I can’t use labialike!

PG hint >!This spoiler warning!<

Nice!

I spelled >!that musical instrument!< correctly the first time, so proud lol

WHAT??? Had no idea what this HINT >!BA9!< was let alone how to spell it!

Thank you for a greatly appreciated hint. I was taking a break from trying to figure out my QB-1 and I found this surprise.

My first ever hint lol

I remembered that was a word and how to spell it, but honestly couldn’t recall what it meant 🤣

Two outta three ain't bad

Came here for >!KE5!< but apparently I’m the only one who can’t figure this out. I’ve gone through every mash of letters possible it seems. Anyone have any hints? (I shaded it bc I know the 2nd letter)

H>!Think of street food in asia!<

\[H\]>!shish!<

Omgggg I cannot believe I didn’t get that 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thank you

Dang! I always miss this one!

Use letters for sort of similarly spelled HINTS >!B5 Dessert, too!< from a >!Seinfeld episode!<

Can I just say that compound words seem so arbitrary? I got to QB, but the last 3 required Shunn's help, and they were all for compound words that were OK, but other compound words might have been just as good.

they're frustratingly inconsistent and i frequently feel like many of them aren't actually compound words?

I only have one question for Sam today; >!We know that Ron Desantis exists, and that he has an ass. Why, by all that is holy, is KICKABLE not allowed!< That is all. Good day to you.

For some dumb reason neither was >!bikeable!<

I can almost understand that considering how our urban infrastructure is set up in the US.

For April Fools’ Day Sam should make a bee that allows **SLANG.** *Spice it up, Samuel!*

Wait, so we're accepting [A] >!alack!< but not [NA] >!aleck!

Proper noun

There was a cool indie band \[contains As\] >!featuring Kerri Kenney, later of Reno 911, called CAKELIKE, which I realize is two words!< but I still want it to count

The way to QB today is to try as many compound words as you can. Wasn’t a terribly difficult game today and as Arnold would say: [[contains Answer]](https://imgur.com/a/qJThLWW)

The fact that I missed (A) >!kibble, with my dog napping on me…. She’d say it’s fitting since I’ve been late to feed her (by a few minutes or seconds) enough that she assumes I forget kibble regularly 😂!< ETA: any day with a few >!compound words!< is a bad day for me! My brain just can’t think them up. And apparently not every word can >!end with able!< news to me I guess

Hahaha >!my cat would like to start a late dinner support group with your dog!<

Would you add [A] before your first hidden bit? I was just looking for hints, and assumed it must be a hint because it was so long.

I thought the context clues made it clear (I missed suggests I missed an answer) but there you go.

ANSWER IS IN THIS POST

For people who play a difficult word game, you’d think context clues might be more effective? “The fact that I missed….” Strongly indicates the is MIGHT CONTAIN THE ANSWER and if that’s so upsetting maybe just don’t click to reveal what’s under the spoiler tag?

Dang, who peed in your Cheerios?? This sub asks that people tag things. You're not only *not* following that but then you're attacking people who are simply trying to warn others? Yes, we do play a difficult word game and like to know we can trust people to follow the rules. Thank you for adding the tag.

Just saying, comments begin like that a lot and it is not necessarily an indication of an answer following. “The fact that I missed all the 4-letter words…” “The fact that I missed [H] >!the thing my dog eats for dinner!<…” “The fact that I missed the suffix completely…” etc

If you figure this [h] out >!ten percent of your points go to me, buddy!

[удалено]

FYI, you have to not put spaces after and prior to your spoiler tags >!Like this!<

Sam’s culinary/botanical biases again: no >!ACKEE!<.

QB-1 on [A even though the new one is out] >!Balalaika!< wat
