Not quite sure which puzzle is the first, second or third today for today. I woke up this morning to an old puzzle that was already solved and then checked back later to find a new puzzle for today...center letter O.
maybe the one I see now is the first one you were seeing?
I cant get back to the first one anymore. Genius was about 145, I think. QB was 209 with 43 words. Couldn't quite get there.
the first puzzle I started had QB at 49 words. I was at Genius, but still quite away from QB. So it seems like they replaced the first two puzzles of the day with a third one. It has fewer words, and at least one English word that is as common IMHO as recent words like "raita" is not included. It's the name of a musical instrument that is in current use in the U.S., so it's not like it's super obscure, so not sure why it's not in today's list.
wow! I'm impressed by how often you make it to QB...about as often as I miss it by one word...which is likely to happen once more today. I'm stuck at 19/61 and am about to give up.

Thanks! Lots of returning and shuffling throughout the day. Some memorization. Have no idea what “attar” means, for example…
I've also had that strange effect! I got distracted and left the game before I got to any substantial score yesterday (my time - 13 hours ahead of NJ), but when I looked in today it seems as though I've missed the entire centre letter 'O' game.
and my one missing word yesterday was "ouzo"...a word I thought I had included in my list but alas not.
I hate when that happens. Often, I am sure I guessed a word only to find it not included the next day. Did I spell it wrong or just forget? I'll never know.
Sometimes i think those "missing" words come from exiting the game in some "wrong" way. There are times when i know my word count was higher than it shows when i come back. Sometimes i can remember the missing words, sometimes not. Good thing it's just a game : )
I did that one yesterday, got lavatory as the pangram, got to Genius, and was curious to know what I had left out. But when I went to Spelling Bee this morning that wasn’t the puzzle that popped up with yesterday’s answers. Instead there was a short one I had never seen. And today’s puzzle with « b ». in the middle seems very familiar—dare I say stale.?
(But I'm glad I got there before looking here, because it's more fun for me when I don't know the number of words or which of two totals I'm aiming for.)
The only "hint" I check is the number of words (mostly to know if I should call it a day when I'm still far short). Got the QB today, and it's a great day to go for it. There wasn't a single word that wasn't in my vocabulary
