Phew indeed this morning. I worked out likely connections but couldn’t get the words that fitted.

The degree of difficulty for the puzzle setter is out of sync with mine (and yours) as again the purple came to me pretty much straight away and the green was a default rather than something I might have worked out :slight_smile:

I didn’t find this one easy despite appearances. I got what I thought were aome connections but had to google if some of thevwords might fit the connection; particularly the movie one as I don’t have a great knowledge of movies.

Well done - still working on the Connections, but solved the Wordle.
Give it a bit longer and see if I can crack it.

Ok, back. Didn’t click with the connections. It seems I was quite close twice :frowning: I put it down to Brain fog :slight_smile:

I find with the connections I get 3 words ok & then have to take pot luck with the 4th. Then there are some pure lucky guesses. They do have some very random connections.

It may take a while, but I think the brain will adjust to this way of thinking - the only thing to hold us back might be the depth of our vocabulary.

I am finding Wordle success rate has improved, and total failures are getting fewer. I haven’t kept a record of my last failure, but maybe I will do that when I get the next total blow out. :slight_smile:

Pure guess work on Wordle - never come across this word before. Able to guess it by needing only to find the missing letter.
