- LIVE UNBOXING On Wordle, Strands, And Connections! // Solving the NYT trifecta of word games for Tuesday, June 25 AND unboxing the Connections wall clock gift that will be going out to all our top finishers in the April Connections tournament!
Art Delivered! (The Connections clocks, not today's puzzles!)
The clock looks awesome!
Nice clock! Congrats!
Nice clock!
My clock arrived yesterday. Thank you so much! You are very generous to provide all these prizes.
Dora's already posted a wonderful explanation for the meaning of frame game, so i'll only point out that a turkey is three strikes in a row, so it's the absolute opposite of missing all the pins. Interestingly both you and Remo made the same mistake.
In bowling, a single turn each player takes is called a frame. There are 10 frames in each game.
Because I like my bowling, I EASILY had a 10 in Strands. A turkey is 3 strikes in a row, Art. I was also fine in Wordle and Connections. 😊
I knew you would enjoy this one! Even TURKEY was included! 🎳🙂
I seldom get the gutter balls and was surprisingly able to get the 7-10 split once in my life. I have had some 200 games, but never a 300. I am one to throw a straight ball and not a curve ball. Some of the really good bowlers use the curve ball to their advantage, Ellen. 😊
A topknot is a hairstyle where the hair is gathered into a knot or a bun at the top of the head.
But as they say in Airplane, "But that's not important right now." 🙂
@@ellensassani Exactly! Sort of moot but Art wanted to know what it was.
A topknot is what poodles have when they are show clipped.
i would love a clock!! you should def make it available :)
Thanks for taking on my challenge tomorrow Art i hope everyone else is happy with it!
For the last colour Wordle (thanks Melanie) i got ZEBRA CRASH SITAR which left only SAVOR. Stumbled through Strands got connections no mistakes but couldn't work out what the purple category was and i dont feel bad about that , it was pretty obscure as far as as im concerned.
Great job on the clocks Art !
Wordle in 4 (I wouldn't expect anything less, at this point. This was a great challenge though. Thanks Melanie!)
ZEBRA STAIR SUGAR SAVOR
Connections: Everything except for the order. I thought that "Silent K" would be Purple cause it's word play, and "Key to Success" would be Blue because it's related words. If I switched those, I would've had a perfect score.
Strands: Perfect score again! Saw "Bowling" almost immediately, and finished the whole thing in less than 2 minutes.
geowiz: You're welcome!
I also thought silent K would be Purple.
ROBIN-VOTER-SAVOR
The silent K was actually the last one I got but as soon as I saw it I knew you would get it first lol… and agreed that TALK and TICKET were a bit weak for their categories.
I'm okay with TALK, because it's used that way in crime dramas all the time. (For example: "You better not talk.")
TICKET feels weak to me.
@@UTU49 It does make a little more sense in that context. I think it also bothered me that TALK and TELL felt a bit redundant.
@@frajoladellagato
Oh, yeah. That's a good point too.

48 second super hard mode solve despite starting off thinking about pictures instead of the actual theme, but I saw TURKEY a few seconds in and immediately deduced the spangram.

Separate (1)
Words with Silent K's (1)
Top ___ ?(0) (junked it for the time bonus at 4:59)
That’s the ticket
Fresh new sequence after my crash:
ZEBRA VALOR SAVOUR
Wordle in less than 30 seconds. With this, I may perhaps have a very long sequence without putting too much time on it :)
Oups ! Sorry, I wrote the solution in English :)

Bowling is one of the few sports I actually know a little about. I used to bowl as a kid...never got very good at it but it was fun. I used to take my son bowling quite often when he was a kid. And having kid's birthday parties in bowling alleys was popular back then too.

Disaster. I didn't think of the silent ,"k" except for "knife," and so dismissed it. I almost got the yellow, and totally missed the idea of "success" for the purple. Two 1's this month. 😢

Turn 3 felt like a gamble. I don't know how many other possibilities there were.
NYT Spelling Bee: GABM: 3:30. (That’s pretty fast for me. Yesterday I did it in 3:07, which is likely my personal best.)
Another good day for me with all 4 of my games going well.

SAVOR was the only solution I thought of.
According to Wordle Bot, it was the only word left for me. Your situation looks similar, so it might have been the only word left for you as well.
