QB! I've been so far out from in the past week or so, I never thought I would get it but I can say, while there are some infrequently used words, all have been used in the Spelling Bee.
Late to the Congrats, but well done!
Thank you!
Got the QB today using the Buddy. The last several words weren't hard with a clue. But there were a few that just wouldn't have occurred to me without a hint.

QB today, and Friday!
Woot! No where close today, but I was no where close to my computer today...
Got it again today. Good day to go for it as there are no obscure words.

congrats on both your QB days...I'm more than a handful away today, as I was yesterday. Obscure or not, I'm just not seeing any more words today.
I'm currently -2. Usually posting that here brings me some luck when I go back.
Never did get the last 2. I beg to differ though -- "aortal" and "rattly" are fairly obscure words. At least to me

Sorry to mislead. I found them fairly early.
QB-1 today. Not seeing the last word.
Yes, rattly, one of those that i try just because, but somehow don't really believe it's a word even after they allow it.

The old car's suspension was rattly.
Really didn't seem so odd to me.
Early QB today. I hesitate to characterize the difficulty.

just got QB too 
I'm currently -1. But the posting on MOL good luck charm hasn't been working for me lately. But maybe today I'll go back and find the last word.
just made it to QB waiting for some company here in QB land on this dreary day

Right there with ya!
(Hate the weird pangram - my final word. I tried its inverse as my first guess)
I got the pangram pretty quickly but ended up with QB-5. Considering I had 28 people over for a party last night, it's a success.
I was also -5 when I gave up. Could have got 4 of them if I persisted. But I wasn't getting "cloche" if I stared at it all night.

Cloche was definitely one that only came from “religiously” doing the Spelling Bee, for me at least.
Just got QB. One really dumb word that I guessed into that I think has appeared before.

Alha, I'm at QB-2 and I found a few dumb words. Wonder if I am missing smart ones.
QB
And, I was right. The dumb (non)words I had already found.
