Bangable is absolutely a real word

[@MandJTV]

the Spelling Bee's list of words is unfortunately not a list of all real words, hence why it is says "Not in word list." For example anole, a very real type of lizard, is not a valid guess (much to my chagrin)

[@Lucarioguild7]

Yeah it is 😏

[@joshualieberman7558]

@@MandJTVI did not expect to see you in the comments section but I am all for it and love your videos

[@Bugside]

I for one am quite bangable

[@RosaFriend]

My hatred of the NYT word list is immense. So many words that aren't in their list, but Salet, an archaic spelling of Sallet, is in their word list! I get angry every time.

[@bigsoulja73]

Why doesn’t John, the larger and more dominant Green, simply eat the feeble Hank Green?

[@ornitorrinco_en_la_caverna]

We must stay out of this. Let them fight without help, it's unfair otherwise.

Hank: "I just got a text from MY dad that's bothering me" John's thought bubble: ... *glance* ... *sees hank's game* ...

he's like, but your dad... is my dad...!

[@Hyperionl10]

@@mainie_videoediting I've long found this interesting among different groups of siblings. My siblings and I are from a split family but we've only ever said "mom was doing suchandsuch" or "our mother told me", never "my mom thisandthat", however, my closest friend growing up and his sister, who are just like an old school "nuclear family" have always said "my mom" or "my dad" to each other.

I really like that John uses dark mode and Hank uses light mode. That REALLY says a lot, but also I am John

I feel like there are two types of people in the world: Hanks and Johns. I myself am a John.

[@shramanadasdutta3006]

I have only recently discovered that John and Hank, who i have followed separately for a while, are in fact brothers. I live for these reunion videos of which i have seen like 2 fresh ones in my time following this articular channel. As somebody who lost a sister in childhood, i can only imagine what siblinghood of adulthood looks like. Thank you do much for letting me live vicariously.

[@jsc1729]

a few weeks ago (or months? what is time) they posted an hour+ video of all vlogbrothers reunion videos in reverse order, titled something like "Hank and John hanging out but they keep getting younger and more pixelated". Highly recommend if you like these

[@cryptidofthemarshes1680]

I'm reminded of "You're not even twins?!" when Hank was interviewed by those two music artists haha

[@kimmykimmie]

The looking over at your siblings phone is so relatable. My brothers and I will play games and I will 100% catch both of us peaking over

The trick to the Minis is to never stop. If you don't know the answer within a couple seconds, move on. Eventually you'll find the answer to something and the crossing letters will help you figure out the ones you skipped.

I'm always BAFFLED by how good Hank is at Connections!

[@ValeriePallaoro]

Just like siblings everywhere. They’re in the same room, listening to each other, excited. And _even though_ they both can, obviously, hear Hank go, ‘I got it, I got it!’ first - they have to check. Thanks to the nature of the film, we can breath a, heartfelt, sigh of relief.

Wordle, connections, and strands are my daily go-tos!

[@Strange_Nothings]

I started doing the connections because one day on Hank's channel, you did the emoji connections, and i was like, "i should try it." I found out my sister does the wordle and the connections and we text each other now to see how the other did that day on the puzzles. I found out even my nephew does the games, and it's given me something to talk about with him. It makes me happy.

[@-Teague-]

I found it through hank too! It's a lot of fun!

[@CWorgen5732]

My husband and I have a mini date to wordle and connections every night at the kitchen table. He usually gets wordle in fewer tries, I usually get a perfect connections score over him. It's sweet.

The instant replay was so good! I have never got the pangram on spelling bee so YOINK I'll be using that suffix tip for sure.

[@azuradawn5683]

If you want to get better at it, there's an app I really like called The Daily Puzzle (the icon is like a mini newspaper with the headline "Daily Puzzle") that has an assortment of these sorts of games every day. Some of them are super easy (the wordsearch - yawn) but there's one exactly like Spelling Bee and one that's similar but you're filling in a Scrabble type grid thing using the letters - it's really helped me to learn how Spelling Bee type games work and get better at making words out of an assortment of letters. Your mileage may vary but it's free and takes like 15 minutes a day if you do all the puzzles.
