      You got very lucky there on Wordle.
      It could also have been COWER, TOWER, BOWER, HOMER, FOYER, JOKER... and a bunch more, I would guess.

    I took me until 5 for wordle. Strands misdirected me for a small bit. I saw toothbrush first so I was looking for lipstick, tongue, etc. Then I found mustache and it fell into place.
    I looooved the connections. I was tickled to get the purple as I am not a fan.

    Super hard mode streak at 2. Saw TOOTHBRUSH right away but that was misleading because it was
    thinking of oral care. Then I saw HANDLEBAR and realized what the theme would be. I cound
    the potential spangram after that but I still had to be careful about whether it was plural or
    not so I had to see WALRUS before I could lock in the spangram. Total solve time 2:38.

    TV Remote Buttons (0.5) - Technically too specific. Even though the four words are clearly
    found on TV remotes, Wyna's category could involve anything from a media player remote to a
    HVAC remote to a garage door opener to a drone controller.

    Art, please stop making judgements on how easy or difficult people are going to find Connections, or any of the puzzles but especially that one. People have very different knowledge bases and your personal base of knowledge is not universal, and doesn't even reflect all of your viewers. So when you go, "Everyone should find this easy", well, no, not everyone does. You can see that if you go over and watch Everyday Doug who didn't complete the puzzle today and didn't see the Bond movies or the drink garnishes. To give another example, I personally thought the movie title Connections from last week was a breeze, got it I, 2, 3. You didn't find it easy at all. But both of our experiences are valid. It's important to note that *you* found today's Connections easy, not that *it is easy*.

      It is easy to get frustrated with these games. Certain family members have lectured me about being careful with my blunt comments upsetting people in this site. I reassure them that I am just dealing with very pleasant/intelligent people being quite harmless. My comments are often good and the negative ones are usually my issues. 😂

      Art is referring to some of the OUTSTANDING players who have participated in his tournaments like Lisa, Chinareds, Andrea, and Oranje, for example, finding today's Connections easy. It is a matter of specifying things. I continue to enjoy learning things from these games and from various people in these sites including the spokespeople. I am certainly NOT one of the outstanding players in THIS site and was pleased getting 8 points in Connections today. I am pretty good at Wordle, getting better at Strands, and have my spurts in Connections. 😊
