Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions
Regarding yesterday's 'Dumpling's' strands, it helped to love to cook (and eat!) Much easier for me than sports terms.
Jude, I'd suggest using a Wordle Helper, especially for those of you who do not use US English. It's certainly not fool proof, but it has most of the words and the spellings that are used.

I could have probably got that on the second guess but I chose to eliminate letters instead...
Strands #232
“We're in this together”
Found this one very easy for a change
On the other hand I failed Connections even though I knew one of the categories sut couldn't make the right 4

Thanks Alatar for the warning! I had two guesses left and three letters that would have worked as a first letter. So I sacrificed my fifth guess to do a word that contained those three letters.

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions
Does anyone here play SpellsBee? There has always been a pangram (a word using all of the letters given) but I could not think of one for today's letters. C O L T I A X (required center letter X). Maybe it's some type of Twitter (X) joke.

I'd say "toxic" instead of "toxical", but the free dictionary says it's legit.

Yes, I tried that word but the game doesn't accept it. I checked my dictionary and it's in there.
