Wordle I get very worked up about. I got to 138 once. After that I switched to picking a start word from the Mini and have never even broken a hundred again.
Connections I play, but I'm not all that emotionally invested.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My nails are vermilion with a green to gold shimmer topper. The topper makes the polish beneath look more to orange side of things than the red side of things. I expect that this Bee's Knees lacquer is going to look awfully similar when it arrives next week. [link]

Was your all-yellow guess the word "___" by any chance?
I had that one as an all yellow before I got the actual answer.
Connections was a beast today.
The Bee dictionary has some noticeable gaps, but they have updated it to include some things that got a lot of pushback.

Our wings are not tired.
I managed Wordle in 4 today, but found the letter box challenging. Had to restart.
I blew any streaks on the drive north because I was just too tired to get on a computer after driving all day.

found the letter box challenging. Had to restart.
I often have to restart, because sometimes I just can't make words at first. I do all the word games while I have my first cup of coffee, and sometimes I need extra caffeine to get them done.

I don't, but we are AARP members, so I'll check the site.

It was, Tep! I also had the pre-coffee weird choice, I guess (Eta high-five to brenda as well)
I don't think my brain works right for Letterboxed. I've only tried it a couple of times but it does not seem at all fun, just hard.
Pretty nails,, PMM!
