OK, so on Chrome desktop it's completely busted for me. On Edge browser on desktop, it highlights the things I searched for in the first go-round (pic 1), but I can't search for new things while inside the book and get anything but pages (pic 2). Internet Archive or Hathitrust, I guess :(

Theater and vaudeville friends, old comics fans, NYC nerds, and random internet friends: does anyone recognize the signature on the top right of this theatrical caricature? Writing about this act and would love to know who drew it.

Yay, 10k words played in Spelling Bee! Many of them by my 12yo, who tries to get as far as he can without playing 4 letter words. Please share 🐝 stats and quirks if you are inclined.
