Could see a Word like Connecticut the other day and outlier and thought add Letter to make a word. Looked for 3 others and found 2 so left it

Got the G and returned to what I thought was P and did my thing which probably most do

Highlighted the 3 I knew to take them out of picture and added a 4th from the candidates left either because they were not known to me or ludicrous like cafeteria

That left 8 and immediately I could see what I thought would be Y and instead of pressing deselect all I wrongly pressed Enter and found my "guess" was correct

Added Y
B solved itself but really the 4th I'd never heard of and still haven't. North American word ?

Anyway after another War and Peace it's back to the big Garage tidy up. I've got it treed lol

Are you smoking weed in there Wolfie?!

Donnywolf · « **Reply #2342 on** July 17, 2025, 06:26:25 am by Donnywolf »

No, but it's really tidy now.

Plenty of Alcohol in there but reserved for Fridays lol.

I take your point though.

Victory after a battle.
G
Lost 2 x 1a lives

Tried to get back to sleep as nothing was leaping out at me from the remaining 8 words.
Brain was fizzing though, so went back to puzzle.
Could see 3 clear Connections and wrongly guessed the 4th.
Down to my last life, I guessed correctly
P

Streak of 3.

YGBP.
Guessed the 4th component of the B, which is becoming a thing for me at the moment.

Reporting day late but I scraped in losing 2 lives

"Highlights" getting Y then losing life with 2G 1P 1B on 2nd Row

Also had " trouble" with Loan word though other 3 made sense

mugnapper · « **Reply #2356 on** July 21, 2025, 07:08:45 am by mugnapper »

GY in double quick time..
Thought I had the B connection and in a way I did. Just didn't know all 4 constituents.
2 x1a B

So a bit of a fluke again.

YG in a flash, then fired in 4 wrong guesses going for B in 30 seconds.
Had one of those sleeps last night, which as you get older, you can only dream of. (Pardon the pun).
Slept from midnight to 8 25 without waking.
When I finally came round, I was thirsty, dizzy and a bit disorientated.
So much so, I did Connections before Wordle for the 1st time ever! Which is just a crazy start to the day. Remember, 'without order, there is chaos' a wise man once said. (Gandhi probably. Or Hitler. Or possibly Peter Creamer. I don't know).
Anyway, I'm blaming my failure on my deep sleep and jumping in before I'd come round!

tommy toes · « *Last Edit: July 22, 2025, 12:58:24 pm by tommy toes* »

You reckless, dangerous fool Mug.
Let’s hope you’ve learned a hard lesson.
Edit
I used to secretly admire Peter Creamer, not much so for his questionable ability as a right back, more for his film star looks and physique.

mugnapper · « **Reply #2365 on** July 23, 2025, 05:45:40 am by mugnapper »

I didn't fancy my chances at 1st glance, but flashed through it.
GBPY with no loss of life. Didn't know one of the Y in that context.

Strange way to win losing no lives

1 Avoid trap.
2 Id 3 possible P but not 4th

Y
B
P knew 3 from start . Still there but no plausible 4th so Perm time and inspired ( jammy )first guess, though still don't get it
G Wouldn't couldn't get that . 2 maybe
