This puzzle is 
the New York Times
Spelling Bee
and
—very proudly—
I achieved
83 percent 
GENIUS status
  on this day
without 
 rounding up
because
856/1031
equals
.8302 
 
It happened
sometime last week
 
Unfortunately,
the puzzle
is masterminded
by someone with a
4th-grade
Flunk & Wagnalls
dictionary:

which words
are acceptable
and 
which are not
 
"Hiphop"
is unacceptable
but
"Ratatat"
is
 
Go figure 
 
I provide 
no hyperlink
to the puzzle
because
I do not want
the creator
of this puzzle
to blacklist me
from playing 
the game
