Hieing was the word I missed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
for me "hieing" wasn't the only one I missed....I also missed "gigging" and "zine"
Today, I"m nowhere near QB...still 8 short and not seeing any of them; oh well, or not so well, as the case may be

I think I’m 9 short today.

Me too. Despite knowing that they don't seem to ever add words.
I wonder if that "Think we missed a word?" address on the Hints page has ever resulted in any change whatsoever.
They have added some. I remember a word not counting one day then it counting just a few days later. “Poppet,” maybe? Also “Tallit” was added, I think.
Breaking my streak of being close to QB today... many words missing.

Absolutely. It used to reject “tallit” every time.

I found the latest one (Wed March 22) fairly easy to get out.
Just got QB, too.

QB for me too and agree that it was pretty easy today, though i did struggle a bit to get the final word 
QB -2 at the moment. I'll give it some more time after work.
Update: I couldn't wait. Went back and finished. First QB in a while.
I just discovered Blossom, a similar game to Spelling Bee, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Here's the link if you want to check it out:

Thanks for this.
Only miss yesterday was falloff. Gotta get that in the brain somehow.

thanks for this. Not a fan of how they move lucky and unlucky around, but otherwise it was fun.

That's fun game. Much quicker to play than Spelling Bee with a different goal.

I got the QB yesterday, but I needed a hint to get my last word -- "afro" 
Nice! I just got it today. It took a lot of staring before the last word revealed itself.
QB for March 26 game.
It's a short one. I used the hints for some of the words, one of which was not one I might normally use.

I, too, got QB and I had to use the hints for the last word.
Also Queen Bee today! I don’t think I would have gotten it if I hadn’t remembered one word from previous Spelling Bees.
Me too!!
(I always need the hints, but I don't find them to be 'spoilers' at all.)
QB again today. Too easy.
Very low word count. Had Genius in about one minute.

(with hints, as usual)
