Connections today

[Pancho Regan]

Well done mugnapper!

I got it with one life lost, but I must admit the third row was a lucky guess at the second attempt.
Obviously with 3 done the 4th looks after itself!

[tommy toes]

Got two groups easily, then failed.

[knockers]

Same here!

[Donnywolf]

I've actually seen that on my goes but maybe it's if I play the archive

Not done today's yet

Me too. It'd be better if it told you how many of the four selected were right.

Late to party today and selected 4 but had pressed one in error and lost a life but for BB it lit up right at the top with a Black Box saying " 1 Away"

So I changed the rogue one and got the rest right

[Donnywolf]

Missed yesterday but just done Archive 4 no losses or as Aussies would say with no logic whatsoever

No losses for 4

[Donnywolf]

As bad as it gets lol

Lost 4 lives without a single Category solved

In fact so bad was I that when I saw the solution I noticed that on my first guess I had one of my chosen Words in each of the Categories

BB ... it didn't tell me anything at the Top so my theory is it only tells you when you are 1 out

[tommy toes]

Solved it today with no mistakes.
Happy as a dog in muck!

[mugnapper]

Failed today,but the one I got was the purple one. Maybe I'm overthinking it lol

[Mike_F]

I've had three goes at this now and only solved it once. Think I'll give up on it; some of the answers are very USA-centric.

[Pancho Regan]

Got it with one life lost.

Really had to think about row 3 but eventually had a 'light bulb' moment!

[Donnywolf]

Yes agree Mike. Several times I thought what is a "glimgit" or a "roocle (I made them up) only to find they are USA words for light bulbs or Burgers

So very US led but I suppose its the same with Wordle. I try to go for the simple ones first but today as reported I was "crulled" from the start

[Donnywolf]

Today solved losing 2 lives

For BB and others it you are 1 off it does light up at the top

I know because I went for the obvious 4 and was 1 away

I swapped a word that was "connected" and it too was 1 away as well

Then I got it so Row 1 was correct and left me to Row 2 being right

8 left seemingly unconnected. I opted for 4 of them and got outrageously lucky (think Bradford City) and they were correct

Left 4 unconnected words which I chose of course , then it tells me why I was right lol

[Bentley Bullet]

Hi DW, I don't get a light at the top. I wonder if I'm on a different page?

[tommy toes]

Solved it again today with one mistake.
Good job the last 4 solved itself!

[mugnapper]

Done with one life left. My last 4, the light blue section, the one with hoop and 3 others, I could have sat there till Xmas and not got it.
Was that the one you struggled with TT??

Do you subscribe to the NYT games section Wolfie? Maybe it's an extra you get like the Wordlebot analysis?

Same as you mug. I'd have juggled with that til kingdom come and still not got it. The other 3 were easy once I'd worked out the half word one.

Hi Mug .... BB said it would be handy if it told you how ,any you had wrong out of 4

I said that it does notify you as I've seen it . However after that I watched and didnt see any notifications until I had another go today

I picked my 4 words and pressed enter and it lit up 1 away. I swapped one I thought was wrong and replaced it with another and got the 1 away

Then I twigged it .... It only tells you if you ARE 1 away which makes sense

[Donnywolf]

Scraped home today with 1 guess left

Still was only vaguely rght with what connected the last 4.

[tommy toes]

Failed
First 2 groups easily.
One away with all 4 guesses.
Picked the wrong one.
Really tenuous links imo.

[mugnapper]

Done with no failures and got them in order of difficulty. Pleased with that.

[Pancho Regan]

Also done with no lives lost but I was lucky on row 3 - I got it right but for the wrong reason!

[tommy toes]

Solved with no mistakes.
Happy to get the purple group first.

[Donnywolf]

Almost the opposite

Out with only Yellows solved. I got too fixated on 2 words that I thought were deffo related  and blew 3 lives on that only to find I'd fallen into their trap

In desperation I put in words that might be prefixed or even suffixed by another word.

I didn't actually have a word in mind so not surprisingly Uhhhhh Uhhhhh !

[mugnapper]

Done with 1 wrong. Was a bit impulsive with my 1st guess. Should have studied the board before jumping in.

Loon!

[Pancho Regan]

Done with no loss of lives today.

I found the first 3 quite easy but didn't see the connection for line 4, but of course that didn't matter!

[knockers]

Done with two lives lost
Green
Blue
Yellow
Purple

[Donnywolf]

Another 1 .... Just the Light blues but even they cost me 2

Blew other 2 and looking at solutions I thought wow that's back to Americanism in 2 of the Rows but I should have got the Purples and disappointed there

[Donnywolf]

Unbelievable  .... but true

I just called Archive and selected Hard and solved it all in 1 minute 21 seconds with no lives lost

Does it work "back to front" . It was so easy it had Emu Ostrich Penguin and Kiwi . Even I couldn't miss that
