I’ve been here since late morning… 7 words (including 1 pangram) short of 🐝. I found 1 pangram, but the 2nd one and the remaining words elude me… like I’ve hit a brick wall.

Currently 54 words in… been whittling away at the difference between Genius and 🐝 for a while. Still 7 words short. Interesting puzzle with the “ing”, but the “E” in the middle! May or may not keep at it…

Only three words short of 🐝, but one of them is the pangram. Still haven’t resorted to hints… Hope to see what is currently invisible to me 🫥

Short puzzle today… found the first 19 on my own, but needed a hint for just the last word and knew it immediately when I saw the first 2 letters… 🤦‍♂️
