Ins & Outs: OUT-IN Words
OUT-IN: Spelling Bee words disallowed at least once before being selectedTotal as of 2024-12-01: 233
Occasionally, a word that has been specifically disallowed from a Spelling Bee puzzle – whether just once or twice, or dozens of times – is later selected for a Bee, and thus makes a belated début. Here’s the list of all such OUT-IN words with some accompanying statistics. Each of these words has been disallowed at least once before being selected for a Bee puzzle.
In the lists below, the numeric code indicates the number of times a word was disallowed before it was allowed, with an "x" representing all allowed uses. There is no need to track numbers of subsequent uses unless the word is later disallowed again, in which case the word and its data are moved to a different list. NOTE: The exclusion of ALLUVIAL from the Spelling Bee of April 21, 2023 was an editorial error, as explained here: https://x.com/thegridkid/status/1649795376851869699
Two lists follow, the first showing the OUT-IN words arranged in descending order by the number of times they had been OUT before they had been IN; the second list is in simple alphabetical order.
