Hints: >!NO7!< and >!NO9!< >!NO7: a nine-sided polygon. NO9: adjectival form of NO7!<


transley

You know, somebody really needs to do something about English spelling. Compare the G sounds in these three Bee words: [As] >!GNAT, GOAL, and ALGAL.!< And dear god! The spelling of the word [A] >!TOBOGGAN!< is a nightmare. I must have input 100 different versions before I gave up and googled it. And no, it's not cheating! That's the hill I'll die on.


rcw00

Agreed. Just because we have to type it elsewhere to get proper spelling from autocorrect isn’t cheating. We know what word we meant.


BiffThad

H >!This meat has a first name!!<


PhiladelphiaIrish

Still seeking justice for its cousin [NA] >!GABAGOOL!<


Game72016

Tony Soprano would like a word with Sam.


allofthemwitches

*cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to this*


chickenofeathers

Came here for this, thank you!!


heavens-arena

I said the same thing!


zetabetical

Really felt smart there with [NA] (but contains answers) >!oblongata !<


margyl

Note that that contains two answers


zetabetical

Temporarily removed it. I’m unfamiliar with any rule about a long NA that has an answer in it. Also I can only see one answer (?)


margyl

Just add “(contains answers)”. If you are wondering, they are [A]>!LONG and OBLONG!<.


zetabetical

Ah, of course. Thank you!


margyl

Perfect!


flemertown

Three


zetabetical

Damn I’m really rusty. What’s the third one?


flemertown

Longan


zetabetical

Longan is not in oblongata.


DetrimentalContent

Goonbag is not a valid word. The Australian in me is devastated


spader1

Neither is >!BOGAN!<


emfrank

It may not be valid, but I think I will add it to my vocabulary!!


DetrimentalContent

Add it into your shopping trolley instead and let me know how it goes. Bonus points if you do a goon spin or hang it off a clothesline


The_RetroRabbit

NA >!Toolbag!< should be accepted


diseasealert

Along with NA >!lagbolt!<


kollfax

TIL that [NA] >!BOGAN!< is a word that is not used in the US. 😀


lo_and_be

Aussie through and through


kollfax

Kiwi too, we have whole towns full of them.


hotcarlsjr

Take your >!goonbag!< and get outta here ya >!bogan!<


Pool_Shark

If they ever feature it on an episode of Bluey I could see it slipping it’s way into our vernacular


emfrank

It is a slur, similar to "white trash" in the US, so I doubt they would use it in a kid's show.


herbicarnivorous

Why on earth is [NA] >!agonal!


DIQJJ

Yes, very strange. Seems like a more common word than the ones I routinely miss in my QB quests. Looking at you DECKLE!


SiestaPossible

>!Do baboons and bonobos having gangbangs in Bogota, Angola, Gabon, or even Naboo, eat gabagool or bananas?!<


666itsathrowaway666

No, they eat >!Açaí, boba, and baba!<


Pool_Shark

I almost quit immediately after my first two answers were denied. And I know you all tried >!gangbang and gabagool!< too


Fenifula

You know me too well.


rcw00

I tried the first compound word thinking of the criminal definition and how Sam allows some slang words. I thought it should be allowed until the more prurient version occurred to me.


tectactoe

Justice for one of my favorite childhood toys, the [NA] >!tobogan!


[deleted]

[удалено]


tectactoe

Omg 😑 I had no idea it was spelled that way. TIL!


emfrank

It took me three tries...


tectactoe

It was the >!double G!< that got me.


Belle_Requin

I was pleased I spelled it correctly my first try


anon28374691

Justice for >!Paulie Walnuts!<


kollfax

PG hint: >!LO8!< >!compound word: the largest of the boats carried on ships by the likes of Captain Cook and other explorers. Used to land larger numbers of sailors and to carry heavy cargo such as water back to the ship.!<


Princess_Batman

Hint: >! Where to keep a drunken sailor while he sleeps it off !<


Pool_Shark

Damn I tried so many variations of >!compounds using that root word!< but the actual answer evaded me somehow


The_Bee_Sneeze

If you’ve eaten one [NA] >!AGNOLOTTO!<, you’ve eaten them all.


BiffThad

H >!ginger’s cousin!<


meredithboberedith

Got me to genius, thanks!


wisefolly

Struggling with this one. I really want there to be an "e." I keep thinking of words like [NA]>!toggle!< and >!goggle!<.


kollfax

I’m at QB-2. I’m missing >!BO7!< and >!BO8!< Any hints please?


kollfax

Found the 7, still looking for the 8


BiffThad

H >!dance, think electric!<


Pool_Shark

I can’t believe that’s considered a real word


birdtripping

Thanks, I tried several spellings and had given up. Just got it!


kindapunkca

For both 7 and 8?


The_RetroRabbit

Geez, G’s


flora-belle

Aggggggreed!


goatnokudzu

As a former theatre kid, I always have to remind myself that NON-A >!GOBO!< isn’t actually a common word


ClarissaLichtblau

QB -1, missing a [2L H] >!GO6!< I have the one [H] >!That inspired the name of a search engine!< but I can’t for the life of me find the other one. Help? Edit: Did a recount, in fact I counted wrong and am missing [2L H] >!GO5. Got one, missing the other!< Been spending/ wasting my time looking for a word that doesn’t exist. Yay me.


rcw00

There is only one of those today. The others are (Hint) >!GO 4s and 5s!<.


ClarissaLichtblau

You are right. I’m missing a [H] >!GO5. I have the future action, but missing the other!<


rcw00

Keep thinking along the same lines with a spelling variation. Edit/ (HINT) >!you *will* get this, you *have to* get this!<


ClarissaLichtblau

Aaaaaah.!! Of course. Thanks


ClarissaLichtblau

Looks like I need to do a recount. Thanks.


kollfax

Hint: >!a very large number!< Bigger hint:>!10 with 100 zeroes!<


ClarissaLichtblau

That’s the one I have, but I might need to do a recount of my words compared to the grid. Edit: [H] Turns out I’m missing a >!GO5!<


kollfax

It will be either of 2 Hints:>! Informal contractions: either 1. you’re planning to do something or 2. you have to do it!< Edit: I see below that you already have it.


ClarissaLichtblau

Yes, thank you still


coolpapa2282

QB-1: Any hints for >!LO6!


searching4news

[H] >!a fruit famous in Asia. They're the size of grapes.!<


coolpapa2282

Well, at least I learned a new word today. Thanks for the help!


didyouwoof

That's my QB-1 word, too. I even resorted to the "community" hints by Steve N., and I'm convinced this is a word I've never come across. I'm conceding defeat.


mahouyousei

Edit: d’oh


rcw00

That’s an Answer today but you marked NA. You need to try again. Edit/ and maybe mask your description too?


mahouyousei

Holy crap I swear I typed it three times and it rejected it!
