symptom of late night Wordling... looked at the Green R and then went and treated it like an Amber R.
at least it saved me a guess knowing the word couldn't end in an R.

did everyone finish with GRIEF then BRIEF? .... funny.

drove me loony for a minute or two until i realized the Connections was actually as simple as it looked.
... though i had to look up Elevator Pitch... silly phrase.

Got lucky on the Wordle but will have to come back to Connections later.
 
the syndicated NYT crossword from Wednesday was fun... every clue started with an H.
i joined NYT online a few months ago.
the deal was $1/ week for the first year.
but i still do the local paper puzzle on Wednesday to get the Food Section.

Connestions fail: I could/should have got the blue but the purple category was dumb. I even thought about a homophone option but coral and rose... I'm aware those words get used as cor descriptors but to my brain they are not themselves colors.

Not mad: sportsball is very much not my thing and US sports even less so πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

have to smile about Connections... never really knew what a jackass was before today... :)
knew a female turkey was a jenny, but it is also a female donkey?
i guess when you live on a farm, boredom needs some outlet by naming animals...?

inspired by Connections, i came across this chart.
i was going back and forth through dictionary definitions,
but this really gets the point across visually.

whether it is cheating or not, when i got to __ UNCH, i checked the already used Wordle list and BUNCH was on it, HUNCH & LUNCH were not.

seeing the PEA ____ connection 2nd was helpful... made the last two seem easy.

When you're playing against yourself you make the rules. It's only cheating if you're competing against others who didn't agree to your rules, so I say you're fine πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
 
I can't be bothered checking to see if words have been used before. I did for a while, early on. I prefer it to be intuitive & preferably quick.
I typed the above & then did Wordle in <1 minute.

I put BLOND thinking it wouldn't be right as I thought it should have an E on the end.
