NYT Spelling Bee 7-17-21 final

I got the screenshot in time! No modifications needed. Tonight started the fasting holiday of Tisha B’Av. The holiday is named after the date, which is the ninth day of the month of Av. Essentially all kinds of bad stuff happened to the Jewish people that day throughout time. So we abstain from all kinds of enjoyable stuff. Among those are eating and drinking. It’s now 11:39pm, which means it’s been 3 hours and 35 minutes since I last had water because I managed this year to start fasting at exactly the right time. Legitimately the clock turned to 8:04 as I set my cup down. Pro. The fast ends at 8:39 tomorrow night, so right now it’s nowhere close to how difficult it’ll be later. On the bright side, partway through the day, the somber mood turns into goodness and optimism for the future.

Yesterday I missed GELDED, GELEE, GENTLE, GENTLED, GLEE, HEEL, HEELED, LEDE, LEDGE, TELL, and TELNET.

About raabidfun

I'm a guy living the #raabidfun lifestyle. I figured I would create a blog about crossword puzzles I do. The idea is to do the NYT crossword and the WSJ crossword daily as much as I can. That includes when I don't finish and have clearly failed. They can be difficult. Also I am not an attorney, and any legal analysis in this blog reflects my interpretation, which means it can be flawed and should not be relied upon for use in legal matters (especially against me).
