      Wordle in six is still successful and you have your brilliant/weak phases in Connections along with your good/successful games. You often do well in Strands, Art. Again, you are always one to land on your feet like a cat. 😀

      Hey Art, I thought SILTY was a GREAT choice.
      I kind of wish you had found WIMPY for your 4th play. It would have given you 2 plays left with WMP off the table.
      Another bullet dodged. If you get unlucky in Hard mode, you fail, and you might not have had any way of avoiding it.

    Golden ratio out to three places, good for you. I tend to remember only as 1.6, which is usually sufficient to get the idea. Best example is the appeal of a painting with these dimensions. Not needed today, but Wyna may find another occasion to spring it on us.

    Getting Wordle in six is nothing to be ashamed of, Art. Those XIXXY words are brutal. And we probably all lost one guess on DIZZY! (OPERA-SUITS-WHINY*-BILGY-DIZZY-JIFFY)
    *) yes I know
    The blue connections was very very hard. Especially since pidgeon already is a dove. I've heard about Dove as a soap brand, but Dove chocolate?
    I know the newspaper is based in New York, but they really lose out when they make puzzles that kind of snub their international audience. Had they even googled "dove chocolate" they would have found out Mars calls it "Galaxy" over here (and "here" is apparently not even where I live - UK, India, Australia only).
    (I'm not saying that I would have gotten it; I'm saying they could make the effort of avoiding names that companies specifically rename and don't use outside the US. How would you Americans like it if their puzzles used things ONLY a New Yorker would know?)

    🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 JIFFY
    Slow but steady progress. After GIMPY I thought of DIZZY,FIZZY,JIFFY,BIDDY and used FIZZY to check out the xxZZY and the potential xIFFY. The yellow F led me to JIFFY. Not sure what I would have done if the answer were in the xxDDY family!
