Just saying HELLO and I was fine in Wordle/Connections. I have been spending some time with Doug/Kenny. I can relate to Kenny in many ways. As with you, Art, I knew that you would get "back on track." You are good in these NYT games. 😊

A great wordle day for me! I got it in 3, adieu, widow, dingo. Strands was straight forward once you cracked the code. The stock threw me for a bit. Another pretty straightforward one. I called a small bit a skosh.

All those things are items on a menu bar, haha. Pretty fun. But your Strands was my Wordle. Got it in 6 but it took me forever to figure out. Oh and I called Connections, I guess I was just too fixated on POCKET being in the pool category, and I didn’t get the Purple.

You can eliminate "pocket" from Billiards Equipment. The pocket is a part of the table, not separate equipment. Now "table" could be equipment necessary to play pool/billiards/snooker.

Now to theater buffs, May 20 is Eliza Doolittle Day. Wordle wouldn't take ELIZA, and DOOLITTLE is too long, so I figured I would use DOING followed by FLORA (for flowers). Well...

It was a similar day for me as well. Started with Wordle, (3/6) DERRY ( D got placed ) DONUT ( N got placed, O out of position ) DINGO Strands was tough for me, can see window, stool and menu but could not get spangram. Had to struggle through it to complete this one. Connections Immediately saw billiard connection that ends up costing me 2 guesses. With POCKET and MATCH also close to it. Third guess got it. Got the yellow category then, a small amount of something. Then got purple with book.

Believe it or not I actually Got Wordle in 2. DINGO was the first word that came to mind after DERRY DERRY DINGO Did terrible on the other stuff, but hey, at least I did well on Wordle! Also got Strands without any hints, though I didn't get the Spangram first (I got it 4th). I was convinced Stool was a word.

Art: That was an easy purple everyones gonna get that Me: 😡

xxx, dingo, georges thibaudeau, 3 DERRY DAUNT DINGO DERRY eliminated all but 19 words -- DAUNT left only one solution. Our starting word today was extraordinarily lucky. DOVER : Of course, there is "also" Dover, UK !!! Because there is DOVER Sole, Miammmm...

I didnt start with a D which IMO makes DINGO a very hard word. Took me 5

I was also about to vent out stuff until I read the comments lmao

DINGO in 4: DERRY - DOUBT - DISCO - DINGO Connections: Got YELLOW & GREEN. Bombed on the others because I went chasing "cheese" (mac and cheese, chalk and cheese, cheese ball)

Strands 79, 7 Complete disaster. I saw most of the theme words but I couldn't figure out where the spangram was (I had MENU by itself which blocked off the top and I didn't think to try to extend that word. I even tried FAVORITESWINDOW. Ended up getting the spangram last, total solve time over 14 minutes. ------------------------- Connections 345, 7.5 4+2.5 base, order bonus. Tiny amount in cooking (0.5) - TOO specific. Discount (1) Pool Stuff (0.5) - I meant the table game, but i picked the wrong one. __ Book (0.5) - didn't specify "that's not a book" I had to sleep it on it overnight to figure out the purple which took the odd man out of the blue, but that's because I had pool instead of billiards. Billiards has no pockets.
