Wondering if this prolonged coughing with you and family members could be the result of COVID. My one younger sister presently has bronchitis and her son got over walking pneumonia. My older sister has a daughter living in Wisconsin. She has walking pneumonia, Art.
Art, I have an idea for you on Spelling Bee. Maybe instead of cutting it completely you see if you can get the Pangram in a certain time - like 1 minute or so! That way you are still having fun with the game, but people don’t stop watching. That’s how I play, so just a thought! I always enjoy watching you and Doug solve the daily puzzles after I complete my own! Always interesting to see where we have the same thought process or where one’s experience/expertise is better than the other. You have always well out-scored me on Wordle but I’d say we’re fairly similar in Connections and Strands!
Hey Art, glad to see you doing better, although it seems you still have a lingering cough. Sorry I haven’t been as active lately it’s just been tough with school and especially finals but I’m at the end, I take my last final tomorrow! I will likely have to draw back a little bit as my time is becoming less flexible but I will try to at least watch the videos. Get well soon!
Wordle in 2, Connections was actually really easy. Strands was really difficult without figuring out the theme and the many ways to spell out SILENT. Mini was a breeze too. A Good puzzle day
I figured out the theme immediately after starting with wrap but the many ways to get silent fooled me and i ended up needing a couple of hints near the end.
Very new here. Watched your queen bee successes and learned so much about common words etc. - I sincerely hope you will do today’s bee (Dec 9) and think about video for yourself, because I think you will want to share it. My scores have increased 20% watching you play, and today I fell short of QBee by only 3 words! I began only seeing about 8 words but in the end a real success for me. You got this!
Thank you for the kind words! Sadly, I will not be posting Spelling Bee. People, in general, are not interested. However, I did take a peek earlier, unknowing that you would request that I play it. Tough one! Please stay and enjoy the rest of the games!
TRADE SPINY CHUNK FLUNG -FIGGY was indeed a perfectly tailored starter for today's Wordle. X Games are an "Extreme" Sports Olympics-style event (skateboarding, BMX racing, Snowboarding, I think they might have even tried just running headlong into a brick wall at some point). They were big in the '90's when everything was "EXTREME!!!!" and I'm pretty sure they're still held today but I have no idea if anyone cares anymore.
I was fine in Wordle/Connections, but not so much in Strands. I am glad that you are doing four instead of five games, Art. You continue to be a WHIZ in Wordle and you did very well in Connections. 😎

Art, it feels like last few days you're just giving up on Strands, if you're not enjoying it, consider dropping it from the rotation, at least for now till you're feeling well again. . It's really not fun to watch if you're just going to spam random words and use hints. I get that you're ill and not at the top of your game but don't torment yourself if it's not enjoyable for you.
I thought Strands today was particularly hard, it is rare after a few hints that you don't understand the theme. I had to hint almost every word as well.

X Games is a competition where they do sports like skateboarding and things of that nature.

I play without the theme to begin. I had wrap first then the theme gave me silent letters.
I took your advice. It's gone.

Using hints on Strands is not "solving" the puzzle .. Time to skip this part of your video just like I used to do with Spelling Bee. ..Take care. ...
