Yesterday I wasn’t ready for that GELEE, which I now know means either a gelatin dessert or a beauty product. It’s important that I know that now for the future, but it was the only word I missed that kept me from Queen Bee status.

Today’s was all the way through genius shortly after the puzzle was released, and I thought I had a shot at Queen Bee, but that didn’t pan out.

The good news is that Calah is getting the hang of the Spelling Bee, but since she and I are competing, there’s friendly secrecy.

Final score for today: 27 words for 114 points. Genius minimum was 101.
