@rejectednytwords.bsky.social Knapped. Has nobody at the NYT ever read about making weapons out of stone and/or obsidian?
A NYT Spelling Bee screenshot. The center letter is P, and the outer letters are K A C E D N. The player has tried to enter the word "knapped," which is the past tense of "knap." Knap and knapped are both real words, but the NYT screenshot shows that Spelling Bee thinks it is not a word.

@rejectednytwords.bsky.social I resentfully acknowledge that ENEMYHOOD is not a word, but it totally should be: a lyrical antonym for “friendship.”

@rejectednytwords.bsky.social The inability to use “macking” would severely limit The Beastie Boys (see “Shadrach”—one of the all-time greatest rap songs, IMO—and “Sure Shot,” to name just two examples)
New York Times Spelling Bee rejects the word “macking”
