@lynneguist.bsky.social another BrE word today: HAEMATITE. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/haematite#English "chiefly British" and perfectly common: "a common iron oxide compound...widely found in rocks and soils" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haematite #nytspellingbee

@lynneguist.bsky.social and another! (There's GITE too but already on list). Taig is a derogatory term for an irish catholic. Unfortunately heard often. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/taig #nytspellingbee
