Wow I failed connections (after getting yellow and purple!) and then almost failed wordle too (there was only 1 answer left after my third guess! And my fourth guess. And my fifth guess. Neither of which were things I thought were words)

I slept all morning trying to get over this fucking cold. But it meant I read the hints here and that helped inform my Wordle approach

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Also failed connections, only got yellow

Did get the Wordle, but, come on, that ain't right

Same. I felt like my brain was soup, trying to figure out the rest.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I got yellow and green on Connections, and I knew what blue was, just couldn't get the right combo.

I thought I knew what Blue was but two of them mean nothing to me, so. I never got anywhere green or purple, brain=soup describes it well

You all have psyched me out on Connections, dammit! I got yellow, have one mistake left and am stuck!

I'm stumped on Wordle with three greens, and this thread is not giving me hope!

I had a good puzzle morning, though Wordle was surprising. Got a purple first Connections w/ no mistakes, but blue and green took a long time to sort out. Having said that, I've blown both Wordle and Connections TWICE over the last wo weeks. Streak, schmeak.
