The most dismal fail yet. Lost all lives without getting a single group.

Donnywolf · « **Reply #512 on** June 20, 2024, 08:18:45 am by Donnywolf »

I can see why Mug. It's tough with a couple of 5s dangling

Also some 3s maybe completed with a USA take

I've shuffled 5 times already , selected 4 then cancelled my selections so I concur .

Amazed to get home after the above with loss of 2 lives

1 away before getting
G
That lessened the Perms but
1 away before getting
P
8 left and the Yellow sat looking at me because another elimination getting the Purple
Y
B ... guessed early doors but slight Tweek of the Connection .

Streak 1

Abject failure too.
Got one group but went round the houses with the fishing one and failed.

Donnywolf · « **Reply #515 on** June 20, 2024, 03:36:27 pm by Donnywolf »

This needs correlating

If I get hammered , say getting one Row or worse NIL you two often get all the Connections and to rub salt in often without losing a life

And yet today and a few times recently its completely the opposite. I wonder if your brains are attuned to one particular compiler and mine isnt and vice versa

What say you ?

Wolfie
Usually I’m very careful with this and only press enter when I’m as certain as I can be that I’m right.
Last few days though I’ve lost patience early and been a bit reckless.
I’ll try and concentrate more.

Good luck with today's puzzle lol.
I actually did it with the loss of 2 lives.
YGBP. Was too mentally drained to try work out the P.

It happened to me recently. My mind was elsewhere and I got into a not really bothered routine which made things worse

I'm largely but not completely back and like you I wait till I'm sure before pressing enter (now) , whereas recently I would have baled and failed

Looks like the Image round , the "Film" round and the Pea Tea Lea Sea round

I am sure there are hidden logical connections so vow to look rather than bottle it

Donnywolf · « **Reply #520 on** June 21, 2024, 07:11:32 am by Donnywolf »

G
Y
No lives lost

Then 1 away
Then 1 away
Perming the Blue

B eventually with 2 left
P I actually had the germ of an idea for a Connection right at start but couldn't find a 4th

Streak 2
War and Peace 15

tommy toes · « **Reply #521 on** June 21, 2024, 07:26:23 am by tommy toes »

Solved quickly with no lives lost.
Y
G
knew both of those left so chose..
P then
B

mugnapper · « **Reply #522 on** June 22, 2024, 05:09:50 am by mugnapper »

Quick success today.
GBYP. Knew the P too. One life lost.

tommy toes · « **Reply #523 on** June 22, 2024, 08:05:55 am by tommy toes »

Solved, no lives lost. Didn’t know the P.
G
Y
B
P

Donnywolf · « *Last Edit: June 22, 2024, 10:27:31 am by Donnywolf* »

Oops bombed after getting just
G
One away on what was Yellow then all over place

Back to Streak of 0 or minus 1 tbh

mugnapper · « **Reply #525 on** June 23, 2024, 07:43:26 am by mugnapper »

Got the P then lost all lives.

Donnywolf · « **Reply #526 on** June 23, 2024, 08:31:16 am by Donnywolf »

I'm stuck too

P
G

4 lives left and one of course is the alleged easiest

Had half hour so far then out in Garden weeding. Back in and good grief still no light bulb moment.

Will be perming the last 8 soon. Just have to get lucky once lol

Donnywolf · « **Reply #527 on** June 23, 2024, 08:42:37 am by Donnywolf »

Impatience got the better of me .... enhanced by Cleverley ( no Politics )

I struck lucky and got the Yellow first guess though they were loosely connected I suppose

Then 4 left and 4 lives , so couldn't go wrong though a very tenuous connection for B which I wouldn't have got though it's there in black and blue I suppose !

Streak 1

tommy toes · « **Reply #528 on** June 23, 2024, 05:42:55 pm by tommy toes »

Back on coach from Filey.
Got….
G
Y
then bombed out.

mugnapper · « **Reply #529 on** June 24, 2024, 06:48:58 am by mugnapper »

Pleased with a win but didn't spot the P connection. No lives lost.
BGYP.

Donnywolf · « **Reply #530 on** June 24, 2024, 07:23:01 am by Donnywolf »

Here we go

Yesterday me yes TT Mug no

Today Mug yes me no

Got G then blew lot on Yellow

Streak 0

tommy toes · « **Reply #531 on** June 24, 2024, 07:48:03 am by tommy toes »

Solved, lost one life. Love those homophones.
No chance with the P
G
Y
B
P

Donnywolf · « *Last Edit: June 24, 2024, 11:17:41 am by Donnywolf* »

The homophones was the key for me . Think there were 5/6 today and I thought I could waste loads of goes on them

There has to be a connection and I can remember Bare and Dear so that was the game on a plate

I take it New is Gnu ?

Get that and 8 words 4 lives . Oh well another valuable lesson learned

mugnapper · « **Reply #533 on** June 25, 2024, 04:54:43 am by mugnapper »

Got it today with 2 lives lost.
GY, lost 2 lives getting the P. Sorr of knew the B ie My logic was slightly different to theirs!

Donnywolf · « *Last Edit: June 25, 2024, 08:12:08 am by Donnywolf* »

Same so far

G
Y

4 lives , 8 seemingly unconnected words lol

Braved a punt at What turned out to be P and it came up MUCH to my surprise

Left B and 4 lives. What could go wrong. That Connection might have evaded me for weeks without ever "tumbling" to me

tommy toes · « **Reply #535 on** June 25, 2024, 08:39:58 am by tommy toes »

I’ve got G so far, totally stumped now, I’ll look back later when my brain has cleared from a hangover and a bad nights sleep.

tommy toes · « **Reply #536 on** June 25, 2024, 08:50:54 am by tommy toes »

So 5 minutes later went back and solved it. List one life, didnt getthe purple.
G
Y
B
P

Donnywolf · « **Reply #537 on** June 25, 2024, 04:29:24 pm by Donnywolf »

Got the Purple but more of a perm / punt . Blue was strange .

Streak +1

mugnapper · « **Reply #538 on** June 26, 2024, 05:36:41 am by mugnapper »

I found it pretty straightforward today although I did lose one life.
GYBP. Knew the P too.
Good start to the day.

Donnywolf · « **Reply #539 on** June 26, 2024, 08:07:56 am by Donnywolf »

4 without loss

G
B
Y
P didn't try to solve.

Maybe should try as practice .... Streak 2
