Straightforward again for me. YPBG. No lives lost. Off for a blood test. It's going to be a long day.

Disappointing fail after getting the P first.
PY then 4 failures
Had the right Connections for  B and G just couldn't get the right 4 words in either.
Disappointing

Well that was a spectacularly crap performance from us today. Worsened for me as Mrs Mug did it with no lives lost and has already reminded me of this fact twice.

Women are so competitive. Mrs T always tries to ‘beat’ me at Wordle, getting it in fewer guesses.
This happens now and again and when it doesn’t (very often) it’s because I’m lucky.

Not in order and lost a life with the dreaded one of each colour ! ** It did give me the G though

After yesterday I'll take it though

B
Y
P


** Edit . Yes double vowels did for me but one of them was the key to Green

Enjoyable today. 3 lives lost en route, including, what I thought was a clever dick connection, which proved to be an absolute classic trap.
Classic trap.

NEVER in my wildest dreams could I have expected this ....

.... If it works

Been out in "Howay the Lads" land and Whitley Bay and a few minutes ago I thought go for it or go home

https://www.nytimes.com/games/connections

After seeing only Draw and Suck earlier I opened it up and immediately saw the Connection that turned out to be P

And without losing a life I went through the lot and got first time ever completely solved in reverse finishing with the Yellow which I darent go for cos I could only see 3 (Wick was the one I didn't twig)

Did anyone else fall in to yesterday's Keanu Reeves trap? Thought I was being a clever Dick, but was actually a Mug!
