Streak 3 losses in a row

Blew all 4 on what turned out to be the G but wouldn't have got one of the 3

Looking at Yellow solution reminded me "they aren't defined as easiest for nowt" and with a group gone it should make it "easier"

Done, no loss of life.
GYPB.
Didn't spot the B link though.

You deserve a medal for solving that Mug.
Got the Y and three of the P then lost all lives.
Would never have got the G or B.

Some days you see them, some days you don't. Which is what makes it a fun/frustrating way to start the day.

Donnywolf · « **Reply #394 on** May 25, 2024, 06:57:20 am by Donnywolf »

Today I saw them but incredibly easily.

Straight run no lives lost. Left with Purple which I didn't try to solve

B
Y
G
P

Streak 1

Yes Wolfie, a children's edition of Connections today. Apart from the P group which I did try to solve but couldn't.
YBGP.

tommy toes · « **Reply #396 on** May 25, 2024, 08:02:39 am by tommy toes »

Unlike the bloody wordle,solved in a minute like you two.
Y
P
B
G

tommy toes · « **Reply #397 on** May 26, 2024, 06:17:55 am by tommy toes »

Another easy one. Thought the purple was a bit odd, but solvable.
G
Y
B
P

Donnywolf · « **Reply #398 on** May 26, 2024, 07:26:25 am by Donnywolf »

Streak 2 with no lives lost
Y
B
G
P no idea but didn't care

Could see the logic but may have sat hours before penny dropped

mugnapper · « **Reply #399 on** May 26, 2024, 09:20:35 am by mugnapper »

Done but with more of a battle than you chaps, losing 2 lives on what I thought initially was a barber theme.
YBGP.
Have they given up using the word homophone now?

Donnywolf · « **Reply #400 on** May 27, 2024, 07:25:03 am by Donnywolf »

Streak O .... Bombed

0 for 4

Head not in it but should have got Purple at least

mugnapper · « **Reply #401 on** May 27, 2024, 08:02:41 am by mugnapper »

Dismal failure.
Lost 2 lives chasing the P and 2 more after the Y.

tommy toes · « **Reply #402 on** May 27, 2024, 09:42:42 am by tommy toes »

Stared at this thinking I’d no chance of getting one row right.
Lost 2, lives then got
Y
Then got P after the US spelling nearly fooled me.
After that the B was obvious.
As for the G bloody ridiculous.
So solved it
Y
P
B
G

Donnywolf · « **Reply #403 on** May 28, 2024, 07:10:30 am by Donnywolf »

Streak -1

Lost a life
Got G
Lost a life
Got Y

Blew last 2 and I should have got P. I had 3 potential and one of remaining words fitted with different slant

mugnapper · « *Last Edit: May 28, 2024, 07:28:04 am by mugnapper* »

What a rollercoaster of a morning. A 2 on Wordle, followed by getting the G and B groups in 30 seconds.
Then lost all 4 lives in quick succession trying to get the P group.
Should have looked for the Y instead lol

tommy toes · « **Reply #405 on** May 28, 2024, 08:41:11 am by tommy toes »

Solved with one life left
G
Y
B
P

Donnywolf · « **Reply #406 on** May 28, 2024, 04:03:36 pm by Donnywolf »

Yes Purple was "wick-ed" to me every time I shuffled

Read it as "wicked" rhyming with "licked" and home and dry

mugnapper · « **Reply #407 on** May 29, 2024, 05:21:32 am by mugnapper »

Done. YGPB.
Lost one life on the way. Knew the Blue too.

tommy toes · « **Reply #408 on** May 29, 2024, 07:18:31 am by tommy toes »

Solved nice and easy, no lives lost.
G
P
B
Y

Donnywolf · « **Reply #409 on** May 29, 2024, 07:36:07 am by Donnywolf »

Might have a chance today then. How the hell did I get 20 in a row ?

Donnywolf · « **Reply #410 on** May 29, 2024, 07:43:03 am by Donnywolf »

On the way with a streak of 1

No lives lost
YGBP

Shrugged shoulders at P but dead easy when I saw answer

mugnapper · « **Reply #411 on** May 30, 2024, 05:14:15 am by mugnapper »

After my farcical Wordle attempt, a perfect YGBP with no loss of life.

tommy toes · « **Reply #412 on** May 30, 2024, 07:32:26 am by tommy toes »

Lost 2 lives but solved it
Y
P
G
B

Donnywolf · « **Reply #413 on** May 30, 2024, 08:00:40 am by Donnywolf »

Surrender again. Streak 0
Save time on Wordle to max on this
In the end I essentially give up

Long long long think
Then got Y

Lost 1 with 2xG 1xB 1xP

Got B with a word that I didn't think "went"

8 words left and 3 lives think of perms I can do

3 P 1G 2left
2P 2G 1 left
3P 1G 0 left

Pathetic . Could see them when it's too late

Donnywolf · « **Reply #414 on** May 31, 2024, 06:52:02 am by Donnywolf »

Very very clever today. Too clever for me although Bennetthorpe , Belle Vue , Keepmoat and Eco would probably do me at the moment

Lost 3

Got B

Got stuffed

mugnapper · « **Reply #415 on** May 31, 2024, 08:20:45 am by mugnapper »

BYGP with one life lost after taking the bait of the group that was so obvious, it had to be a trap.

tommy toes · « **Reply #416 on** May 31, 2024, 08:24:40 am by tommy toes »

Failed without getting one group.
Ashamed of missen.

Wolfie, I'm no psychologist but I think mentally you are in negative mode when you approach this game at the moment.
Try tomorrow's in a more positive frame of mind.
You are an intelligent man, you've done this puzzle correctly many times and will do so many times in the future.

So how do you explain my capitulation today then mug.
I’ll pay you £2 a word if you can get to the root cause.

Donnywolf · « *Last Edit: May 31, 2024, 09:00:13 am by Donnywolf* »

Agree ... I'm in a negative mood generally. That can't help.

Wordle I'm hoping for a 1 with Stare then just play for a win not a 2 or a 3. No agonising just get on with it.

Use a used word , yep. Move a Green , yep. Anything to move it on , exception entering Stare after I've tried it once

Connections , I've been to 20 , don't know how high you 2 have gone. Then I've hit the buffers. The gloom is there for sure and I have just capitulated recently

Also recently I saw the easiest puzzle ever on here , but lately I'm struggling. Cameras and Mountains today . I lost 2 straight away but then got Blue which on balance should have been the Yellow

Yellow way over my head. Must be hardest Y ever ?

Soon lost out after persisting with Mountains but looking at Hood , I had no idea but it's a small mountain in Oregon ffs

Even Cannon is a Mountain but with 2xNs of course.

Never ever heard of Oeuvre so how the hell is that in Yellow ?

You are right though mug ... I am in a poor place and need to give my head a wobble as confidence shot , not just in puzzles .
