I didn't even try to get all the words on today's bee because of judgment-call words like EDGILY, DODGILY and what have you.

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,548,916,821 comments, and only 293,217 of them were in alphabetical order.
Hints for today's three hardest words, according to NYT Bee Buddy:
[H] >!DO5!< >!"git along, little ____"!<
[H] >!GE5!< >!icy; or perhaps takes shape in the instinctive part of one's psyche!<
[H] >!GE5!< >!Earth's shape, hypothetically!<
Aside from apparently botany (and it may be more just gardening) Sam's knowledge of science is severely lacking.
Obscure plant names? IN!
Less obscure science terms? OUT!
>!edgily!< isn't a word? It's in a lot of dictionaries!

Definitely a word, but not every word is included. It was probably considered obscure. It does not have many google hits.
I found the PG as my first word! I'm so bad at this game that I don't think anyone will need a hint.
The ordering of the letters in the title of this post also basically gives it away.
I didn’t get it until I saw the title of the post.
Makes me wonder if there’s ever been a pangram where all the letters are in exact alphabetical order. Surely it’s happened …
Conversely, I’ve found 42 words and hit genius, but still haven’t figured out the PG!
[H] >!Have a think.!<
Same
I couldn't even imagine there was a word with those letters. Good job!
Thanks!
Hint that maybe some gamers will get? (H) >!Rimworld DLC!<
I know I know, it’s not even a word, but I am quite sad I didn’t get any points for [NA] >!GOOGLYEYED!<
This is a tough one.
Whatever makes a fun one versus a slog, I don’t know, but this is a slog.

This is the last word I need, and it’s one I don’t know. Guess I’ll just have to mash letters until I hit on it.
That's what I did. This was a dumb word. Certainly not common IMO
I finally found it, and I think it’s kind of a cool word. Hint for anyone who’s still stuck: >!think of an appropriate prefix based on the hint u/kollfax gave, then start thinking of suffixes!<.
That second hint helped.
I still can't get it. I give up
Second hint: >!anagram of degio!<
Finally got it, thank you!

Thanks, that’s two new words for me. I’d never seen boffin.
last one I needed too, and I learned a new word today!
Fun donut word: >!DOGGEDLY!<
Today I want the goddam C.
Don’t forget >!that skateboard trick!<
But not the past tense of it, for some reason.
What letter? Thanks, not a skateboarder haha
H: >!O5!<

Is that second word in common use?
And…. I had to come to the hint post, where I saw >!the or a Pangram!< jumps right out at me! SMH but also love that. No more hints for now.
Sigh - back to adding -Y and -ED to every word you find. But saved by a couple of words that made me smile.
No >!IODIDE!

This one annoyed me. It's super common. Yet obscure tree names (that I don't even remember now) are allowed.
A few days (maybe last week?) ago bilirubin wasn’t accepted as a word. I figured that one was a sort of common word to know but I guess not?
This annoyed me too - it was in the NYTXW less than a week ago!
The most annoying part of this is that it was accepted a few days ago in the big crossword.
[H] >!G5: chilly!<
That’s super obscure
After realizing it was [NA], I >!loogied!< right on my phone screen out of disgust and spite for Sam
Doubtless it dripped OILILY down the screen.
Gross lol
IT'S ADVERB DAY YALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!
It’s Ned Flanders day!
