This was the first Strands I've seen where one of the word paths crossed itself (made an X). I didn't realize that was allowed, and I'm not sure I approve...

[RoseMorninStar]

Nice job V.!

I thought this one was fairly easy, but I'm glad I had a heads up Dave.

“On the grid”



The hint was an unintentional “submit” move! Notice that it is at the lower left corner - where “enter” is for Wordle.

[RoseMorninStar]

That's OK Inanna, we don't issue penalties.

I like this game: https://www.puzzmo.com/+/weather/play/spelltower
I got 1094 points on my first try. I don't know if that's good or not.

Nice V!

Strands #45
“The long run”



Maria, that reminds me a little of the Letter Garden game I play.

[Inanna]

Nice, V! I love 2’s.

Well, 3's are pretty cool too (sorry, Jude!).

[Jude]

Cool but less fun

Different kinds of fun. I enjoy them both!

I'm started playing these little NYT games, and Wordle and Strands are fun and all, but Connections is so far ahead in the best game competition that it's not even close. I could play that game for hours on end (and have; there are archives).

[Inanna]

Really? Connections can be very frustrating for me. I think not having grown up in the US culture might be part of it…

[RoseMorninStar]

Dave, I find Connections fun.. or terribly baffling! Although I believe I've become better at playing it. Inanna, yes, I think that would add to the difficulty.

Still working on Strands...

[Dave_LF]

The ones that require pop culture knowledge are the ones I don't get, and I'm also terribly annoyed when a category is something that depends on the structure of the word rather than its semantics ("bird names minus the final letter"), but otherwise I love it.
