In with PYGB.
Lost 2 lives including a 'plank' (1 from each group) in the process.
If Wolfie gets the P, I'll be amazoned, I mean amazed.

Piece of the proverbial piss today. Is it the lack of sleep? Lack of beer? Combination of both?
GPYB. No lives lost.
Streak moves to 5.

So straightforward I thought it may be a trap but in taking a second to double check my 1st group, the rest just leapt out. I'm not going to complain as I'm sure there's a stinker around the corner.

Today I got up late. 7.20

DOD fwiw is 40 and can't remember one so low

Taking nothing away from the winners to date esp as I've not got going yet

Donnywolf · « **Reply #1151 on** October 20, 2024, 09:25:51 am by Donnywolf »

40 was right

Solved in order with no loss of life

Jeopardy was thinking as people say above " no , that can't be right" before pressing enter

Even when entering the B, though I could see the P were connected I still didn't quite believe it till it went blue lol

Well it may have had a low DoD but it did for me.
4x 1a so an abject fail.

Funny how you see them differently

DOD of 50 today fwiw.

A 50 50 shot of making 6 for the first time in weeks ?

Donnywolf · « **Reply #1159 on** October 22, 2024, 07:17:09 am by Donnywolf »

Yeees I did it 6 and stopped off at Wordle to solve it first so about 6 minutes for the 2

To paraphrase Mug an Amoeba would get this.

P had 3 of them but not the 4th and for not the exact reason

YBGP but did lose a 1a life going for the P group 1st, before I got in my stride.

GBPY. Would not have got the Y if you'd asked me to get it first.
Not happy with the make up of today's puzzle.

Donnywolf · « **Reply #1166 on** October 23, 2024, 09:19:21 am by Donnywolf »

It's the 500th version apparently today so thet celebrated with a novel idea which you probably noticed.

turnbull for england · « **Reply #1167 on** October 23, 2024, 09:31:38 am by turnbull for england »

Noticed that after first line so it helped

tommy toes · « **Reply #1168 on** October 23, 2024, 10:06:16 am by tommy toes »

Solved eventually. No chance with the yellow. I cottoned on to the colour thing which helped with the green.

I saw a 4 or 5 connection and went for it , but it didn't register that it was the colour that matched the Connections colour

So "oblivious of Thorne" went back to NIl
