Solved with one loss.
G
Y
B wrong connection (pin) but never mind
P wouldn't have got that.

Bit of a flukey no loss win today.
YG easily.
B but was barking up the tree connection wise.
P by default. Wouldn't have got that.

Pleased with a no loss win and was kind of on the right lines with the P.

4 for none again

B checked again and again. Is it a trick. No
Y
G what always ?
P I understand 2 of them and maybe a 3rd

Streak 2 , heady days

Greatest Short Stop in Baseball though I believe he might be second best

Don't know if SS is number 2 in hierarchy of importance on Field

Pitcher
SS

Don't think his shirt number was #2 but moving on why Pencil ?

Donnywolf · « **Reply #487 on** June 14, 2024, 09:39:19 am by Donnywolf »

Spent all career at New York Yankees and yes Shirt Number 2

mugnapper · « *Last Edit: June 14, 2024, 10:00:03 am by mugnapper* »

I think it must be the US pencil hardness scale.
We use H. HB etc (I think).

Well done Mug. Just looked it up and you are spot on .

mugnapper · « **Reply #490 on** June 15, 2024, 06:28:09 am by mugnapper »

Well pleased today.
1 life lost. GBYP. Didn't spot the P connection.

Donnywolf · « *Last Edit: June 15, 2024, 11:52:10 am by Donnywolf* »

As with gears in a Car .... They are all in there

Super start
G took ages looked too "easy"
B options but picked right 4

So 8 left and no idea. Lost 3 lives getting ...
Y the easiest ?
P I agree with 2 of them

Streak 3

tommy toes · « **Reply #492 on** June 15, 2024, 09:48:57 am by tommy toes »

Raced through this in no time.No losses and got the P second.
G
P
B
Y

Donnywolf · « **Reply #493 on** June 15, 2024, 10:21:49 am by Donnywolf »

Wow ... Green first same as me , I looked again and again but it wasn't a trap

I struggled at the end and got P only be it being last as you did with Y

It says a lot about Y being easiest as you got it by eliminating the others , and Mug and I both got it 3rd

Just watching the footie in a bar.
Great game just finished Swiss v Hungary.
We're staying in this hotel that's not a dump by any means (it cost enough)
But f**k me I've never seen so many grossly obese, loud, drunken, covered in tattoos people in one place.
And that's only the women.
Makes you proud to be British.

Donnywolf · « *Last Edit: June 16, 2024, 07:26:06 am by Donnywolf* »

Good start but back to Streak 0

G
Y

Left 4 lives to get 1 row right. Blew the lot on what turned out to be the Blues

Getting P would have seen me home but sometimes you see 'em ....

mugnapper · « **Reply #496 on** June 16, 2024, 08:29:42 am by mugnapper »

Done but lost 3 lives getting what turned out to be the P.
YPGB
Didn't get the B connection.
I seem to be much better at those clues that have a literal connection rather than those that require a bit of lateral thinking.

Donnywolf · « **Reply #497 on** June 16, 2024, 09:33:03 am by Donnywolf »

One of the Bs ... was literally a B !

tommy toes · « **Reply #498 on** June 16, 2024, 10:33:32 am by tommy toes »

Solved with one life left. Lucky though with what I thought was a fish pond.
G
Y
G
P

mugnapper · « **Reply #499 on** June 17, 2024, 07:31:36 am by mugnapper »

Flukiest victory ever with 3 lives lost.
Y then 2 lives lost getting G.
One more life lost luckily getting the P and didn't spot the B connection.
Looking at it after completion, it is a bit more straightforward than I thought.

Donnywolf · « **Reply #500 on** June 17, 2024, 08:26:14 am by Donnywolf »

Fluked too

Got Y
Then lost 2 both 1 away trying to get what would be G. I looked elsewhere

Got B for wrong connection though
Then got G as there were only 4 options left
P didn't try but probably wouldn't have got it

tommy toes · « **Reply #501 on** June 17, 2024, 08:44:28 am by tommy toes »

Solved with 3 lives lost.
G
Y
B
P

Donnywolf · « **Reply #502 on** June 18, 2024, 07:27:09 am by Donnywolf »

Amazing 4 without loss and nearly back to front

P easiest of the 4
G
Y
B

Didn't spot the B till answer , but as recently some looked like traps but weren't

Still solved in 2 minutes for Streak of 2

mugnapper · « **Reply #503 on** June 18, 2024, 09:28:32 am by mugnapper »

Dismal fail.
I agree with Wolfie, the P jumped out, then got the Y losing 2 lives then lost the last 2 lives fannying about after the G.
Eminently gettable. Hangover did not help.

tommy toes · « **Reply #504 on** June 18, 2024, 11:43:01 am by tommy toes »

Failed too.
Only got the P and lost all lives being one away on the others
Annoying, but but should have been more patient.

Donnywolf · « **Reply #505 on** June 18, 2024, 12:53:17 pm by Donnywolf »

Good grief , I am surprised not least that I think we all got P first by look of it

I'm no film fan but I was sure that was JB connected and in fact spent half my time looking for a 5th word to muddy the waters

Couldn't see one so risked it and was staggered to see it go P

Donnywolf · « **Reply #506 on** June 19, 2024, 06:35:11 am by Donnywolf »

Taxi duties today so desperate to get Wordle in bag early (tick) f/b Connections

Got Y
Got G

4 lives left 2 to go. No idea so it's on "ice" funnily enough I've tried it with a couple of the words

So later hopefully.

mugnapper · « **Reply #507 on** June 19, 2024, 07:58:38 am by mugnapper »

Quick fail. Got the Y then out in a blaze of failure.

Donnywolf · « **Reply #508 on** June 19, 2024, 10:07:53 am by Donnywolf »

I'm back in play
Can see Au and 3 other first 2 letter from Periodic Table but other 3 so obscure I've never heard of them

Will look when not on.phone

Donnywolf · « **Reply #509 on** June 19, 2024, 10:18:04 am by Donnywolf »

Wasn't as above so lost one then 3 trying to get B?

P was gettable. The big clue was there and 2 others to make 3
