Spelling Bee is just brutal some days - not everyone gets the full list, and it's partly the puzzle design. Some word combinations are genuinely more obscure than others, and the letter set matters too. I hit a 60-day streak before missing one on a Bee that had maybe 35 words total, and I could only squeeze out 28 no matter what I tried. The trick most people use is knowing common letter patterns and less obvious words (plurals, verb forms), but sometimes you're just missing something the puzzle intended and there's no way around it. Keep in mind 30 words on a tough day is still respectable - not every Bee has 45+ findable words.

I've been doing the streak thing off and on for a while now, and yeah, 94 days is solid. The Spelling Bee is definitely the wildcard - some days the word list just clicks and other days you're hunting for obscure plurals or verb forms that feel like they shouldn't exist. I'll usually hit 50-60 words on a normal day, but occasionally I'm stuck at like 35 and can't find anything else no matter how hard I think. The pangram helps break things open once you find it, but that's not always early.

Most people don't get every single word every single day - that's the thing nobody talks about much. The ones who keep their streaks alive are usually the ones who just get the "Genius" tier and call it done, not necessarily maxing out the full list. I'd say maybe you catch everything once or twice a month if you're paying attention, but it's way more common to hit 40-50 and feel pretty good about it. The key to keeping your streak alive is just not stressing the perfect score - you only need Genius to keep the count rolling. If you're already at 94 and managing all three games daily, you're already ahead of most people attempting this.
