Is that an Samsung? Embarrassing

 

[elkantlers]

Yes, it is a Samsumg S22

Speaking of embarrassing, I cannot post my time. Holy cow. Can we use the R word here?

 

[Wild Bill]

I really like Strands, Connections, and Letter Boxed. I'll do the mini when I remember.
I try and get it under a minute. Usually happens once a week or so.

My goal for the mini is under 60 seconds, except for Saturday which is a larger puzzle. Wordle goal is 3 or 4 guesses, I usually do that because the formula isn't difficult (Train and Slope usually get you 3 or 4 of the letters, remainders are usually C, H, U, M or Y). I get Connections perfect almost every time because the formulas there don't change much, either. I only do Spelling Bee for the pangram, I ain't paying to solve a bunch of 4 letter words. And Strands is fun enough, but doesn't have a timer or strikes so I don't really have a goal for it, I just like word puzzles. I used to do Letterboxed but kind of fell out of love with it.

My coworkers won't play with me anymore.

Well I didn’t go full R today, but yikes.
