Chris Cramer 🇺🇸👨🏼🔬🇮🇹🌎No VALINE, no ANILINE? I mean, come ON, NYT #SpellingBee! Give a chemist some love!!
and I didn't even mention ALANINE!!!
Adriana Heguy@ChemProfCramer I thought the same! I think they don’t accept “science-y” terms
@adriana_heguy interestingly, chemistry words that DO count include adenine, biotin, acetate, citric -- and they LOVE botany words... it's very selective the SpellingBee dictionary.
@ChemProfCramer yes, I noticed a couple of those word in past games. I don’t know how they built their dictionary 🫤
