Easy one today, bar p but that answered itself ( and had too!)

mugnapper · « **Reply #2282 on** July 03, 2025, 08:22:03 am by mugnapper »

Easy for you 2 maybe, another failure for me.
GY easy enough, then lots of 1a chasing B until failure.
Win % down to 77.

You 3 actually ... Well 4 as my Seat Buddy at Eco has reported in, doing it without loss.

mugnapper · « **Reply #2284 on** July 03, 2025, 01:03:02 pm by mugnapper »

Mrs Mug did it in 60 seconds too. I'm in a dark place every time I open the puzzle at the moment. Start with negative thoughts and fail soon after lol

You and I seem to have reversed roles.

Ever since your pep talk about being positive , I have REALLY "gone for it" but whilst I am on 9 or maybe 10 I did get totally lucky yesterday when I tried to abandon and solved the last 2 rows

I'll keep going but sometimes I just don't "see" them

You either get it or you don’t.
Sometimes I have a light bulb moment that solves it, sometimes I dont.
No rhyme or reason (great horse that backed it when it won the National) to it.

At first glance, I knew I was a goner. Didn't jump in as I have been doing.
2 x 1a chasing Y.
Y (hooray!!!!!!)
10 mins and then....
B
8 words left then all at once... there's a theme developing and
G
P
If I'd been hungover or tired, I would have given up before starting.

Haven't forgiven them for April 1 yet

X 2

Looked a few times during day and as it reached 23 00 , way past my bedtime , I was none the wiser.

16 unconnected words it seemed except the obvious trap. 4 States of the USA

Cue .. fail with one of each colour
Things got better

3 more fails but all 3 had only 3 colours

10 streak = no f****** streak.

That has to be the hardest one I have ever seen

Goodnight .

PS looking back I could have got the Blue if I'd have said LA Los Angeles and LA Louisiana and then LA a note to follow So.

mugnapper · « **Reply #2297 on** July 06, 2025, 08:06:03 am by mugnapper »

Whistled through it. BYGP.
The P is a bit tenuous I felt.

Donnywolf · « **Reply #2298 on** July 06, 2025, 08:36:14 am by Donnywolf »

It's a 36 DOD and I too doubled my streak to 2 by whistling through it

P wtf. Tenuous is correct Mug. Even with answer I still can't get one of them and unsure on another

Yesterday's failure was down to becoming fixated on one Connection. Banana and Canary? Got to be yellow, right? Wrong!
One of the earliest tactics I learnt on thus was : Don't get fixated on one Connection, especially if you keep getting it wrong.
Today, I got fixated on one Connection again.
I lost 3 x 1a lives.
YPBG
The G was the one I fixated on lol.

turnbull for england · « **Reply #2308 on** July 08, 2025, 08:49:58 am by turnbull for england »
