Anyone playing wordle?

I seem to be settling back into my comfy size 4. I noticed that Streak is based on days, not just successfully solving the Wordle. I missed a day a few weeks ago and although I didn’t fail to solve the puzzle on the days I played, my streak started over.

re connections

Yes, sometimes there are things even google can't explain in their connections, but "mown" is a word

Th trick with purple is to really think laterally,

  1. (of grass or a crop) cut down with a scythe or machine.
    "their job was to rake the mown corn ready for carting"

Agree with both of you. I spend a couple minutes on it, then I’m done. This morning they have a word, MOWN. I’m 70 years old and never seen that one before So would have no idea what to “connect” it to. :shrug:

For wordle I select a random starter, I used to use STARE but got kind of bored with using the same one. So now I wing it and go, almost always, with my 1st thought as I progress - till I get to 4 guesses and nervousness sets in. I rarely use 'discovery' words. My brother is at 450-ish, he does. I think to get that high you'd have to?
For connections, I do google if I'm super stuck. I try not to waste too much time on it, some days are quite the stretch (I think we all agree on it). I also do the mini crossword. I've never been good at crosswords, but again sibling rivalry - I can count on one hand the number of times I've been my oldest brother. Even if I know the words I can't type as fast as he solves. But happy with myself on the mini, I have gotten better.
It's fun here on TUG, the spoiler feature makes it more enjoyable for me, for sure!

Hey, I’m lucky I can think at all, laterally, vertically, horizontally, longitudinally, it’s all the same to me! 😀
 
So close on guess 2, but it took 2 more for a four.
