Wordle was my star puzzle fir a change. Scoredle 3/6* 14,855 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ UMBER (1,737) 🟩🟨⬜⬜🟨 STAGE (24) 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 SCENT Strands was straight forward. Too many possible categories! I barely scraped by.
UMBER STALE SWEPT SCENT. Strands straightforward though never heard of Community, heard of Veep but never watched. Connections tricky with multiple overlaps but got all categories with two errors along the way.
@Joe-lb8qn. I found Community first, which was no help at all. 😊 Then fortunately the Spangram. Dredged up Bewitched from the dim and distant. Never heard of Veep, but they were the last four letters left. Shades of many of my Connections' solves. ☺️
I got Wordle and Strands easily enough but I got zilch with the COnnections. I noticed you played smart, you avoided a category completely where there were 5 choices whereas I went ahead and submitted guesses which was the wrong approach. I failed to make a connection and it's easy to see how that easily happened. When there's 5 items in a category, you have a 1/5 chance of selecting the right four. So...... lesson learned. The only way IMHO to easily win that connections, was clearing either the blue or purple categories FIRST. for the light blue category I was trying to put together laundry terms where WASHER, DRYER, LINE and SINK fit together but that wasn't it.
Do your family members/friends know how good you are in these games, Oranje, even though you are the only one participating in them? If so, what are their thoughts?

Connections took awhile to do. I had one error.

Again, unless hell freezes over, you will never fail any of these games. I was fine with Wordle and Strands, Oranje.
Never say never 😉
OK
While we use bug for infections we don't tend to use it for insects. Those are wee beasties in Scotland.
I LOVE the Scottish expressions!! They are wee beasties, and sometimes, not so "wee." 😄
Lightning Bug is purely an Americanism. In Canada they say Firefly.
Congrats on Connections since it seems that few are getting all 4, including me. Though, I think the Yellow category is kinda lame.
It seems like a very divisive puzzle today
Today's Connections difficulty: 3.5. Hmm. I would have guessed lower this time, but it's all in what you know and how it strikes you.
Yeah. You are not wrong.
@@DailyWordPuzzlesWithOranje28 It was getting LIGHTNING ____ first that helped.
@ellensassani3319. Yes, and not seeing lightning at all was what killed me.

My wife knows I’m good at these games but it doesn’t get me any bonus points 😂
My work colleagues have nicknamed me ‘Stats’ because I am the numbers guy in our department. I appreciate the title. 😅

What IS that? I'm going to guess The Incredible Hulk. 🙂

I think the earlier one got Purple, the better off one was.
You were fine today, Dora, in all your games.
@@hopechazz Thanks!
@@ellensassani You're right. It ruled out ROD from the fishing gear as well as BOLT from the hardware group.
@@doraa.7873 De nada! ☺️
