Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
What I am unclear on is whether it is the puzzle or my brain that differs from day to day.
Same! There are some days that the Spelling Bee leaves me so befuddled, I start to wonder if Tim bonked me in the head overnight and my brain is only functioning for heartbeat and respiration.
I'm sure that the Spelling Bee creators are sometimes meany heads who live to make us suffer. Other times, they feel compassionate and toss in the ing or ed fillers to make us feel accomplished.

Man, a Spelling Bee with I, N, and G makes my entire day!

I feel this.
The thing I hate about the Bee is when a perfectly cromulent word is not accepted. I still shake my fist at myoma not being in whatever mysterious dictionary they use.

They use some slang, but not other slang — "gimme" and "phat" are accepted words, but "yeet" is not.

There are a lot of medical terms they don't accept. It's really annoying.
I've had to learn not to treat Spelling Bee, Connections, etc. as a daily IQ test/proof that I'm not yet senile because that way madness lies.
Edit to add content because I clicked post message rather than read new. Yes, more coffee, please.
I feel much the same about Publishers Clearing House word puzzles. Like, there's a limit to how many words I can find on a good day, but if I get a puzzle with three vowels and 61 consonants there's only so much I can do.
I installed an Amazon Fire Stick on my mom's TV this afternoon to make up for the cable she's cutting as a cost saving measure. Hopefully the combo of shared streaming apps and free services like PlutoTV and Tubi will keep her from feeling she's missing too much.
So, both Extra Hot Great and someone on Buffering the Vampire Slayer are referencing TVTropes this week and my mouth is having a hard time staying silent!
Maybe you shouldn't?
