I really like it, but it’s pretty hard. Often I need a hint to get where they are going with their “clue”. Sometimes I get lucky.

Hi

Strands and Connections are currently my favorites!

Same. My goal is always to get there without any hints, but often I need one. Sometimes two.

Exactly - strands and connections! Sometimes I need more than two hints for strands! Once i figured it out this morning, I still had to google “slang terms for X” !

Oh I had never tried Strands! That was fun! I took two hints but I should have just done one as I had already kind of figured it out. Thanks for sharing!

Strands is kind of Squardle with a theme. Fun!

Didn't try Connections...

I love connections, but I'm really bad at strands.

Often I get the last connect by default and sometimes even when the answer is right there, I still don't get it.

Same! This morning’s was like that for me… I won’t say why until later but that’s the kind of answer I don’t like. suave

I spoiled alert: I got today’s without hints only because the first two I found made sense with their clue. The very last one took me awhile, then I was like, that’s brown!! Unless you are thinking about the candy…

Still trying to decide if I like Strands. Today’s went well for me (Am I blushing), but one is definitely brown to me.

I love Connections; the puzzlemaker must think like I do. Except for those purple answers like the ones you don’t like, SK!

Still loving Spelling Bee.
