I liked the university story. I was close to having the same thing happen. I took my courses in the evening while working so I was constantly having trouble making the classes. I think in the end they graduated me just to get me off the books!
Perfect Connections! Oh no. So many red herrings. "Password" is another game show. I wouldn't want to eat an ear unless it's a yummy mushroom. I lost. Good Mini My time was 48 seconds. Perfect Strands! One mistake for me: after starting with SKEWER, I was thinking food and tried PORK. No worries. I can use chopsticks like a pro. I loved your Lab anecdote! I have one of mine own. I was working as a student employee at my uni. I sometimes graded computer science lab works by younger students but my main task was systems admin. But it was the physics lab that killed me too. We had to take the lab in teams of two. In my first two attempts, my partners had to bail out for various reasons (they were ok). After my second partner quit, I completed the current assignment solo and delivered a perfect computer-printed report with a score of A. The very next week, printed reports were banned because there was a perceived risk of plagiarism. Only hand-written reports were allowed. I called it quits for physics labs. (I went on to complete many masters level classes and seminars in computer science that came in handy later.) Later my wife had to take a tough lab on chemical engineering simulation with computers. I didn't want her to share my fate so I partnered with her to complete the lab and she got an A. I never took the lecture part of the class and scored an I (incomplete). But she got her degree! Much later, we moved to another place and I eventually enrolled to another uni to complete my degree with remote classes. Physics was not required.
In university, I took an intro computer architecture course where you build a computer in the labs, but it was the first semester I had a chance to really overload myself and I didn't do the labs, so I got an incomplete. Then I tried to do the labs without taking the course, which just didn't happen because I had no idea what I was supposed to do when, and then they completely changed the labs, so I ended up just retaking the whole course later, ironically after I'd taken and then been a TA for the graduate version of the course (which didn't have a lab). They ended up with an optional last task (which they didn't have ready in time for the deadline on the last assignment for a class with a final exam), and I could tell I was the only student to try it because it was impossible without fixing a bug in the provided code that the LAs didn't know about.
I saw the ___double connection early but saw six possibilities and Double ear and double elbow had me stuck for a while until I worked out pasta shapes.
I remember as a kid hearing stories about people who one course away finishing their diploma and wondering how in the world that could ever happen. Then I got there and, oh, that's how. It was a Statistics course for me. I passed somehow, but if I hadn't I don't know I ever would have made it up.
You can always negotiate with your advisor for a replacement class. I had a discrete mathematics requirement that was not offered online. My transfer credits for a computer security class with public-key encryption, Galois fields and the algorithms for fast exponentation were readily accepted.
In just a couple of months, little Lilly has witnessed more Connections resolutions than i ever have🤣

I also thought Connections was easier than their rating. I got purple first since I saw jeopardy and immediately thought of double jeopardy.
Password and Concentration are both game shows.
😍😍😍
(I've got the Pasta shapes immediately 😂)
Lilly is so cute!!
I like the new thumbnail
The Mini was my favorite. I loved Captain Underpants as a kid so I recognized the author straight off rip 😂
She's like dad quit shaking me.
Ora key et tay
Can u pls add spelling bee and letterboxed to the NYT games
