There were a lot of options with wordle. I did it by process of elimination too. I had heard of the word though. It almost took me 6 attempts…i had a last min changecof mind with the letter B. I almost put W.

Got both yesterday, but didn’t get round to registering the results.

Well done on yesterdays. I didn’t get close. All rhose T’s this morning played with my mind a bit. I did have to look up one of the words to find out what it meant though. It seemed a random jumble of letters to me. Tchotcke or something (think i have justade that up​:rofl::rofl:).

The first one came pretty easily. The rest took some thinking about.

It seems that it is fairly easy to get 3 words in the connection but that 4th one can be very elusive. You were so close wih the green category. Once one is achieved the other 3 do become a little easier although some of the categories are a bit far out there.

Yes, sometimes I switch group altogether and try again, but this time I tried to connect the greens and blew it. The brain needs a bit more training, but it’s coming along :slight_smile:

Hope you’re tearful phase has settled :slight_smile:

Not too bad at all today. I switched group after the 1st go as something suddenly jumped out at me which then helped with the yellow group.

@Ecila - are you still doing Wordle? Have you seen the new games - connections and various others?

Fantastic. Well done to you. I got the 1st 2 connections straight away but the last 2 were much harder & only got by process of elimination.

I wonder how much more time before I get the hang of Connections - just need to start thinking a bit more :slight_smile:

I’m finding with connections that I think I have the connection worked out but can then only find 3 that fit. Usually because I have the wrong connection :rofl: this morning I thought the connection might be things you couldcwin (e.g. badge, sash etc). It turned out to be something to do with girl guides :woman_facepalming::woman_facepalming::woman_facepalming:

Yes, Connections can be a bit tricky with double meanings and some obscure ones e.g. Monty Hall - How would you ever associate Monty with Hall unless you knew who he was?

Scraped through, thanks to the girl guides as the halls connections were left field or whatever they call it.

Really happy with my current run on Wordle - a few more days and I can change my starter word. (I used BLEAK for February and am using DREAM for March). Not sure, but I think it helps me by just using the same starter word.
