There is zero rhyme or reason to what words the Bee deems common enough for inclusion. Especially when looking at a few others that made the cut today…

I almost always go to Queen Bee, even if I need hints on the last few(several/dozen sometimes), and some of the words that get selected are WILD. (Haven’t finished today yet)
