If you like Wordle and Connections, you'll like this: Strands

linda72, Thanks - it was fun. I like Connections, and Wordle a little less so. I do all the puzzles almost every day.

Took me 16 minutes but I got it. I guessed the theme quickly but just couldn't find the words.
I'm terrible at Wordle, I'm not sure I'm smart enough for these games 😜

Thanks for the heads up! I gave up but will try again over the weekend. I love Connections - can't figure out Wordle. Any tips for loving Wordle? It seems to me like you have to have ESP.

I gave it a try. I'm not sure about it so I'll give it a couple days. I already do Wordle, Waffle, Squaredle Express & regular Squardle. What I didn't like about it is you can't rotate the board like you can on Squaredle. linda72, Thanks for the link.

I love Connections - can't figure out Wordle. Any tips for loving Wordle? It seems to me like you have to have ESP. I always start out with the same word every day. I use 'ideas' as my 1st word because it has 3 vowels & 2 common consonants. Say it highlights a & e as being correct. The next word I might try is plane & see if I get lucky & that's the correct placement of vowels. There are times I'm on my last chance before I get the word & occasionally I fail completely. Today I got the word on the 3rd try. I really can't say why I enjoy it but I do it every day. There's plenty of puzzles out there, though, so just stick with the ones you enjoy.

NatureLover, If you play Wordle on the NY Times, there's some help and analysis from Wordlebot. On the upper right hand corner, click on the bar graph icon to get Statistics, then the link to Wordlebot, where your game - try by try - is analyzed. Once in a while there's a full article about strategies. Recently there was an article about best starting words, and one of the recommendations was "trace". Now I start with trace every day, and I've been doing pretty well. But it's still not my favorite game. I think at some point there is a lot of guessing.

My problem with Wordle is that I usually end up guessing and hope I find the word. I have a few starter words and sometimes they help me but other times I can't get the correct answer. What I like with Connections and Strands is there are clues to help me. My DGS15 and I play Connections and he'll text me his results. Sometimes we'll give each other clues if we're stuck.
I think the important thing is to have fun and use your brain every day. These games do that.
If you're interested in other games for your phone, check out ELEVATE and LUMOSITY. I try to play both of these daily. On the free version, each consists of 3 games to play. Some of the games are logic, math, spelling, punctuation, etc. I have enjoyed both of these games and have only played the free versions. These games have encouraged me to remember math (fractions!), vocabulary and punctuation. Check them out!

Here is the way I do it. My first word is typically ADIEU. My second word is STORY. These two words get me all the vowels and some of the most common consonants. I used to use AUDIO and TREYS and that works well also. Basically if I start with those those 2 words I usually get enough information to solve it.
