HAPPY 6th(!!!!) BIRTHDAY TO THE NEW YORK TIMES DAILY DIGITAL SPELLING BEE 🎉🥳🐝🐝🐝
Here’s a screenshot I have saved from 5/9/18, of the very first puzzle.
Not on here much anymore, but came on to say I really like Armand Assante as an actor, and I hope he is alive and well.

Trying to get a friend into Spelling Bee?
Show em this coming Monday’s puzzle. About as delightfully easy as it gets.
Expecting quite a few first-time Queens 👑🐝🤗
Spread the word!!

I agree tech interviews are flawed, but this is too.
9 year old me, short and determined, pushed through a gaggle of reporters to the front of the pack to shake David Dinkins’ hand at an outdoor event in Sheepshead Bay. He did the usual adult thing: pat on the head, told me to stay in school.

In the late 1980s, when Czechoslovakia was in the grip of Communism, a few kids aged 10 to 19 wrote video games that mocked the Soviets. They released them clandestinely, copying them from one audio cassette to another. arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/… (1/11)
