      While I’m not happy when people fail I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who struggled with today’s connections. Was definitely a tough one for me. Also, for Wordle, there wouldn’t have been a 2 e’s since when you guessed peeve only one e was green. There would’ve been a 2nd e that was yellow or green. Great video as always 😄

    Wordle in 4
    UMBER STAGE SPENT SCENT
    Connections: Made one really dumb mistake (I didn't realize "Nail" was a word there, that could go into the Yellow category. Totally overlooked it), but got all the categories. Got them in under 5 minutes too.
    Strands: Much better than yesterday. Back to a perfect score again. Spangram first, under three minutes, no hints, etc. It genuinely irks me when I can't a perfect score in that game. Especially, if I have to use a hint. I consider using a hint, in Strands, a "Total Fail" (at least, for me personally).

    Somehow got the strands without a hint even though I've only heard of Friends and Cheers (which were broadcast in the UK). Bewitched (or B*witched) is a pop group. It was just finding random words (what on earth is Veep, got that because those four letters were isolated).
    4 for the Wordle: UMBER-SPOKE-STEAL-SCENT. Random Es and Ss are worse than nothing at the start!
    That connections was horrible. The customary unintelligible Americanism ("lightning bug", glow worm in UK- and it's more often "lightning conductor" here than "rod"). Two bad red herrings (the ball one which others have noticed, plus airstrike, airline, air dryer). For me "bolt" goes with washer, screw, nut much more obviously than nail does- I dont know about other countries but here they are on the same thing, while a nail is totally different.

      VEEP is a humorous pronunciation of VP, which stands for Vice President. The show ran on HBO, which is a premium subscription service in the US. It starred Julia Louis-Dreyfus (from "Seinfeld") as an American Vice President.

    This is my worst solve in a while. Too many "one aways" and red herrings. I saw both the fishing and hardware categories early on, but I couldn't group the players. Speaking of players, I was caught up in the idea of types of ⚾️ pitches, and never saw "lightning." So obvious, once you know the answer. On to tomorrow. 🤞🍀
