I see there's a Wordle thread, does anyone play Connections? I find it much more interesting than Wordle. You just have to find the connection in a group of words. It can be more difficult than it sounds.

If you get enough people playing, it becomes interesting to see how different people's brains are wired. Puzzles that are easy for some people are incredibly difficult for others and vice versa. It's also interesting to see the order in which the puzzle is solved

Didn't take my time and messed it up

You did better than me...you are right though, rushing through can mess it up.

Since I lost my stats with the purchase of a new iPad plus how busy I've felt lately I've been much less religious about bothering to finish Wordle. I'm enjoying Connections a lot because it's quicker, at least it seems that way.

I knew the blue category but there was 6 that would've fit in that category so I had to go after something else.

First two helped clear things up, but the last two were a lucky guess, as they were not familiar terms.

I tried and failed at my first attempt today. Got the first two, but wasn’t grasping what they wanted for the rest of it. There’s always tomorrow.

Trust me, it happens. I've had guesses where I got 1 in each category. Can't get much more wrong than that.

Its a solve, better than yesterday.

It was pretty straightforward for me today but thinking back on it I can see mistakes could be made
