A very exciting day across the 7 games! Lady A brought her 'A' game today and her road trip brainstorming session to create the puzzle certainly was a good one! Leave your results below and let's talk about them!

I took a nap when I got home late from work, just so I could watch this tonight. 5 am will come way too early, but it was worth it!! Excellent Bingo.Bongo on Strands!! Nice job on Connection's! You named more correctly than I did. Lol! It was an animal themed day! Wow, 3 of the mattresses were in the top row!! No Weird Al. I think he's retired from my puzzles. I learned about Strawberry Moon from a novel by John Grisham. A strawberry moon is the first full moon in June. A blood moon deals with lunar eclipse and the moon's red appearance. Well done in deductive reasoning! We have had a lot of dog stuff, so I thought I'd throw in some cat stuff. One hint to solving was if you pick the four colors it is a rainbow of shame. So put one in each category and it could help. I enjoyed your solve very much. It reminded me of my solve of Ellen's yesterday.
NYT puzzle's ... ehh I solved them, nothing cool and nothing bad. For the sport's connection we have the state schools and then the tech schools So like University of Texas but then also Texas Tech. You were right in just naming the states. And apparently I've been playing a pirate ZORSE game. And then there is just LadyA. Got me with the moons! I think I solved at 8 or 9

In Strands I noticed you hesitate before submitting words that might have something before or after them, such as BALL. That's smart. I should do that. 🙂
Great job on Lady A's puzzle! Me, not so much. Here is what I started with: BERRIES: RASP, BLUE, GOOSE, HUCKLE ASSOCIATED WITH MATTRESSES: SEALY, CASPER, CLASSIC ... FULL(?)

Well done, Ellen! "Muddling" is a bartending technique that involves LIGHTLY crushing fruit, herbs, or spices just enough to release their flavors and aromas. A muddling tool looks kind of like a pestle (as in mortar & pestle.) For example, a Mojito is a popular drink made by MUDDLING mint sprigs with sugar and lime juice before adding rum and soda water.
I knew you would get the dog sounds right off the bat. I find it strange I have gone 57 years without knowing that definition of BAY. I also don't know Taylor Swift songs, but that I"m well aware of.

Also can be pronounced “nish”. I prefer “neesh”.
Although a small hiding place I would call “nich”.

It was definitely an animal centric day for puzzles.
