8:37 am

hurshy

woohoo, i love it when Ps are easy

8:37 am

hokie carla

I know, I got 7 and thought to myself how great it is to finish the P on first pass, so then of course I couldn't find the last one.

8:38 am

penquis

8:38 am

hurshy

i did not psych myself out

8:39 am

9:20 am

hokie carla

9:25 am

hokie carla

9:25 am

penquis

9:26 am

SamanthaJoy

I don't know what connections is. Or Squaredle for that matter. I'm still on Wordle and Quordle.

9:26 am

penquis

do you want me to guess what your 5 is?...

9:27 am

penquis

i failed at connections today....got the yellow and blue....had no idea on the purple...

9:27 am

penquis

connections is a NY Times game....

9:27 am

hokie carla

I actually got the purple over an hour ago and have been stuck on the rest, but I think I'm onto something now. BRB

9:27 am

penquis

Squaredle is like Babble....

9:28 am

sukee

i just tried connections, ugh...it was over quickly :)

9:29 am

hokie carla

ok, done with connections

9:29 am

SamanthaJoy

It's not listed on their games site, at least not the one I frequent

9:29 am

hokie carla

sukee, I like to write out my thoughts on connections and that helps.

9:29 am

hokie carla

SJ, it's in beta, so you have to click the drop-down menu on the upper left

9:31 am

penquis

you can also scroll down the front page of the NYT and see it listed with other games...

9:31 am

sukee

squardle is not working well on my Chromebook, I'll try on my ipad later

9:32 am

hokie carla

yes, pen...I'd love for you to guess my 5.
