Sam also helps edit the Crossword and other games, and has been contributing puzzles to The Times since he was 17. It’s the first thing I do when I open my eyes. So many people start their mornings with the Bee. Hearing feedback from the community fuels me to do my best. It’s staggering to see how many people care about this game and seek it to find joy in their days. Now we have a forum that has more comments than I could have ever imagined. Then I tweeted out the #HiveMind hashtag. It started with a few people posting their Bee screenshots. I love the way this community has organically formed. Without an audience playing these puzzles, what’s the point? How important is it for you to connect with them? - Pat Dailey, Chicago, Ill. Give your brain a break, and you’ll see something you didn’t see before. My last bit of advice is to come back to it. Use the shuffle button or even Scrabble tiles.

If an answer list had every possible word, it would be harder to make progress toward Genius and beyond. Ultimately, the decisions can seem arbitrary because every solver has a different background and vocabulary. I like using Google’s News tab, so if there is a technical word, I’ll see if it’s being used in articles without much explanation. Two dictionaries I use are the built-in Apple dictionary, which is based on New Oxford American, and Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary.
