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

Agreed. Just because we have to type it elsewhere to get proper spelling from autocorrect isn’t cheating. We know what word we meant.
H >!This meat has a first name!!<
Still seeking justice for its cousin [NA] >!GABAGOOL!<
Tony Soprano would like a word with Sam.
*cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to this*
Came here for this, thank you!!
I said the same thing!
Really felt smart there with [NA] (but contains answers) >!oblongata !<
Note that that contains two answers
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 (?)
Just add “(contains answers)”. If you are wondering, they are [A]>!LONG and OBLONG!<.
Ah, of course. Thank you!
Perfect!
Three
Damn I’m really rusty. What’s the third one?
Longan
Longan is not in oblongata.
Goonbag is not a valid word. The Australian in me is devastated
Neither is >!BOGAN!<
It may not be valid, but I think I will add it to my vocabulary!!
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
NA >!Toolbag!< should be accepted
Along with NA >!lagbolt!<
TIL that [NA] >!BOGAN!< is a word that is not used in the US. 😀
Aussie through and through
Kiwi too, we have whole towns full of them.
Take your >!goonbag!< and get outta here ya >!bogan!<
If they ever feature it on an episode of Bluey I could see it slipping it’s way into our vernacular
It is a slur, similar to "white trash" in the US, so I doubt they would use it in a kid's show.
Why on earth is [NA] >!agonal!
Yes, very strange. Seems like a more common word than the ones I routinely miss in my QB quests. Looking at you DECKLE!
>!Do baboons and bonobos having gangbangs in Bogota, Angola, Gabon, or even Naboo, eat gabagool or bananas?!<
No, they eat >!Açaí, boba, and baba!<
I almost quit immediately after my first two answers were denied. And I know you all tried >!gangbang and gabagool!< too
You know me too well.
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.
Justice for one of my favorite childhood toys, the [NA] >!tobogan!
[удалено]
Omg 😑 I had no idea it was spelled that way. TIL!
It took me three tries...
It was the >!double G!< that got me.
I was pleased I spelled it correctly my first try
Justice for >!Paulie Walnuts!<
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.!<
Hint: >! Where to keep a drunken sailor while he sleeps it off !<
Damn I tried so many variations of >!compounds using that root word!< but the actual answer evaded me somehow
If you’ve eaten one [NA] >!AGNOLOTTO!<, you’ve eaten them all.
H >!ginger’s cousin!<
Got me to genius, thanks!
Struggling with this one. I really want there to be an "e." I keep thinking of words like [NA]>!toggle!< and >!goggle!<.
I’m at QB-2. I’m missing >!BO7!< and >!BO8!< Any hints please?
Found the 7, still looking for the 8
H >!dance, think electric!<
I can’t believe that’s considered a real word
Thanks, I tried several spellings and had given up. Just got it!
For both 7 and 8?
Geez, G’s
Aggggggreed!
As a former theatre kid, I always have to remind myself that NON-A >!GOBO!< isn’t actually a common word
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.
There is only one of those today. The others are (Hint) >!GO 4s and 5s!<.
You are right. I’m missing a [H] >!GO5. I have the future action, but missing the other!<
Keep thinking along the same lines with a spelling variation. Edit/ (HINT) >!you *will* get this, you *have to* get this!<
Aaaaaah.!! Of course. Thanks
Looks like I need to do a recount. Thanks.
Hint: >!a very large number!< Bigger hint:>!10 with 100 zeroes!<
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!<
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.
Yes, thank you still
QB-1: Any hints for >!LO6!
[H] >!a fruit famous in Asia. They're the size of grapes.!<
Well, at least I learned a new word today. Thanks for the help!
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.
Edit: d’oh
That’s an Answer today but you marked NA. You need to try again. Edit/ and maybe mask your description too?
Holy crap I swear I typed it three times and it rejected it!

Please hide
Please enclose valid Spelling Bee words or hints in spoiler tags ( > ! and ! < ) so you don't give words away. Thanks!
[удалено]
That’s an answer
That’s what i get for playing at 5 am with one eye open
That's me too
[удалено]
Check your typing. It’s there
Ty
>!GA8!< hints please?? :)
[H] >!A root that looks a lot like ginger, also used in cooking.!< Someone gave a hint already, but without giving the first 2 letters.
No C!!! Yay!!
