The NYT Spelling Bee Thread
No where near that, but perplexed that diluvian and diluvial were not included.

wow...I wasn't even at Genius in 20 minutes. Today is one of those days where it was a struggle to get to Genius and I'm still struggling at QB -3

me too. I thought for sure that "diluvian" was the pangram and also tried "diluvial" but struck out there too.
QB-1 today after just getting a very slangy word.
Not hopeful. Looks like the streak ends today.
Also -1
sigh
So far, 1 word sort of strange to me, but nothing so slangy. If that's what's missing, i'm probably sol.

yesterday's QB -5 is looking good compared to today's QB -7
And yes, yesterday's mystery word was jimmurphy's "slangy" one - thataway.
Friday miss was hortatory, which I presume you got mjc. Well done! Yesterday I missed teleology.
QB today. 
QB today, first one in several days. Low word count, straightforward words. Needed that after a rough week where a few puzzles had unfamiliar words to me. And a couple had so many words still left after I got to Genius I just ran out of steam.
QBX2
One word that I can only have known from the Bee, although probably not that uncommon.
And now I even know what it means.

LONG-ago misspent youth as classics major.
Fri missed hellhole and holey (thought i had tried that one)
QB yesterday, -1 so far today....
Congrats! again jimmurphy
eta: For "Fri," i think read "Sat" - apparently not too clear on what day it is today. Or something. And finally got that last one today : )

Missing a fish today - grunion.
QB-1 so far.
Yes, what's wrong with grunion?? (Though i'm not 100% sure they weren't just an excuse to go to the beach at night, sort of like a snipe hunt?)
Still -2.

My wife grew up in San Diego and remembers those hunts fondly.
