4:36 pm

bichon

go to the spelling bee page and click on TODAY' HINTS click on that

4:39 pm

hurshy

i can't, i don't have a subscription. i just found another website where you can play without one, and it has the same letters each day as the NYT one. but there are no hints and things.

4:39 pm

so that is why i asked

4:40 pm

5:02 pm

hokie carla

5:02 pm

mab

wow. just looked at it. if i don't see the panagram in a few seconds i'm usually sunk. are you a queenie yet hurshy?

5:03 pm

hokie carla

but you might be able paste it and just change the date in the URL without tossing cookies and stuff

5:04 pm

hokie carla

I just changed the URL to yesterday's date (note: the actual one, not the tinyurl I posted here) and it worked, so I think you can do that each day.

5:07 pm

mab

practically there.

5:10 pm

hokie carla

I have 26 now. not sure I'll find 7 more for queen bee.

5:51 pm

hurshy

yes i got to queen bee when i said "tada!" lol

5:52 pm
