NFT: Anyone playing Connections?

Wordle and Connections.

I do the wordle and the spelling bee as well. They have a new game called strands which is super easy.

Sometimes connections can be a ballbuster. We do connections and then discuss it afterword.

Did Strands when it was in Beta - now it's released. - Connections is toughest by far. - every morning been doing them

and won with no mistakes. Got lucky on the final group because I never recognized the connection for even a second. I’ll keep my eyes open for that sort of thing from now on.

strands, mini, spelling bee...

they're wonderful, momentary distractions from work focus. i play them every day.

is numbers. Mrs. in UT was a math major, so she insists I play it :)

I play those three every day recently. Maybe it's because I started it only recently, but Strands is by far my favorite

with coffee in the morning.

I just tried Strands. I had morning and routine and it didn't give me credit for either. I don't get how it works

Wordle, Connections, and Strands

Then the wife and I also do phrazle, word hurdle, quordle, and octordle (all their variations)

I go in the same order

Connections
Wordle
Strands
Spelling Bee
Mini
Soduku

Connections is by far my favorite. I always try to get the purple first.

The Connections puzzle takes liberties with definitions and what counts as a word, but it’s fun anyway.

Got up to a 95 day streak on Wordle. Current streak is 8. I play in Hard Mode. There can be a surprising amount of strategy in that game.

Haven’t tried the others.

Connections owns me at least once a week, probably twice.

I've only not gotten Wordle when I'm being lazy and not paying attention. With one exception: frond. Fucking frond.

It's usually words, but sometimes the "theme" is a phrase. The theme was "morningroutine"

So I needed to put the 2 words together to use all the letters

I usually don't have too much difficulty completing them but man I bombed today's.

....It makes it a little more challenging.

I also try to get a perfect

Purple
Blue
Green
Yellow

you psycho! it's a lofty goal though. After I get three complete, if I still can't see the fourth, I will not hit submit until I figure it out, that's as far as I go though.

I make Wordle harder by just starting with a random word everyday rather than a strategic one. Sometimes it pays off sometimes it's brutal. Many times I have started out with five grey spots.

lol, id I sis that, some days I'd never leave the computer. But it's not always the purple I don't get, today it was the blue. When they do movies or pop music, I'm toast

I stared at the blue for a bit today, too.

Quordle. Its the same but with 4 words at the same time.

mini, connections, bee, wordle...

How could we survive without them?

And then there's BBI (for me only even though Mrs is a fan).

Either get it right away or not at all.

Also do Wordle, Quordle, Quordle Sequence, Octordle, Octordle sequence, and Octordle rescue.
