NYT spelling bee social media achievement

  • I tried to get to Genius using only words that start with M but couldn't do it. Got to Amazing before I had to use another letter though...

Yeah, it was kinda weird that "gannet" was rejected.  I looked up that word many years ago when I first heard Ian Dury's "Billericay Dickie".

A vaguely medical term.

Community comments are running high about young Mr. Ezersky's refusal to include the gannet. It's come up before; I have never heard of him going back and adding perfectly cromulent words to the options. People who own boats are up in arms about vang not being accepted.
