one day I kept trying "dobro" and it wasn't accepted. I suppose the editors will claim it's a brand name and not the actual name of the instrument. But musicians use it to refer to any resonator guitar of any brand, so to me it should have been included.
Stepped away from it for a couple of hours, and got the last word almost immediately when I returned. Hard to believe I hadn't got it earlier. It's actually one of those words that shows up in a lot of the puzzles, so I'd have thought it would have occurred to me right away.

congrats on yesterday's QB I missed it by these two: friary and fratty...and it looks like I'm going to be two short again from QB today.

My misses were affray and itty. Duh on itty but I’m surprised so many got affray (spellcheck doesn’t even recognize it). Was surprised fratty was accepted.

Same on today.
I didn't really know if affray is a real word, but somehow it was stuck in my head from hearing it somewhere. My last word was array, which is one of those words that only uses 3 letters, so it appears pretty frequently in the puzzle.
I think I'm going to fall a little short today even

Affray I missed just by not seeing it, but fratty? C'mon! That's not a word!
Yesterday was my first QB ever. I have been following this thread for months and admiring all of you. I was really surprised when it happened. Fratty came to mind because of preppy, and because the accepted words are often ones I often think are not quite legitimate.

sorry but fratty really is a word. It's just not very commonly used in NJ. I first heard it in grad school. And it was apparently a pretty commonly used word on southern college campuses.

Me too! Might be the first time I did it two days in a row. Can’t remember.
when I used the hints, I would get the QB about 3 times a week, so I've had a few back-to-backs in the past. This week was the first without using the hints. Weirdest thing yesterday was that I was certain I had entered "acidic" but with one word left to go, I checked my list and realized I had not. So the last one word was pretty easy

QB two days in a row is totally astounding to me. I have a grand total of 2 QB's for this entire year
used the hints after I got to Genius yesterday and got stuck with 7 words to go. I got the QB pretty quickly after that. My last word was "lineal", and I'm sure I would never have got it without the hint.

Same two words I was thinking of. But I’d take “journo” over “pfft” any day.
