Art Continues To Struggle On Wordle, Strands, And Connections

Art Continues To Struggle On Wordle, Strands, And Connections // Solving the trifecta of NYT word games for Monday, September 2, 2024

[@RisetotheEquation]

Another bad day for Art - SHARE YOUR RESULTS BELOW!

[@LadyAndreaRose]

I was biting my nails watching you solve Wordle, especially when I realized easel couldn't be the answer. Whew!

[@hopechazz]

You had another lucky day not failing Wordle which I found very interesting. This did not surprise me and you were fine in Strands/Connections. I would not consider this a bad day for you, Art.

[@UTU49]

Art, I've played Wordle 433 times. I happened to notice that 433 is very close to half your total of 867. Tomorrow, I'll hit 434, and you'll hit 868, exactly double. Does this matter? Nope. It's just a curiosity. And kind of a weird fluke that I even noticed it.

[@UTU49]

Art, I got sucked in by "LABEL" also.

[@lisag8476]

I just about cheered out loud when you figured out how to eliminate 'easel' from contention! That was a win today 😊

[@frajoladellagato]

Your stress and anxiety are your worst enemy. This is the second day in a row you almost attempted a double letter that you already ruled out, making the puzzle harder than it needed to be.

[@sambright3719]

Strands - At last, one where being British gave us an edge. 😊. It almost made up for those California rolls yesterday!!

[@retiredump7038]

Classic example of how everyone goes immediately to [Clue Word] (common word) instead of (common word) [Clue Word].

[@LadyAndreaRose]

Your 2nd guess was fantastic! I had Wordle in 4, QUEER, WOMEN, TIMED, CAMEL. Strands was fun. I had an Art perfect game today. Connections tickled me. The Yellow was reminiscent of one of my custom puzzles. It was a 9 for me today.

[@DanPLC]

16:18 Art: "we had to get more *titles*" 😂

[@sambright3719]

Re the previous Wordle comment you mentioned. You don't need a subscriber like that - you've got us. 😊

[@hopechazz]

@@sambright3719 Art needs to be careful with that guy.

[@RisetotheEquation]

You're the best!

[@RisetotheEquation]

I am careful with everyone!

[@hopechazz]

That is good to know, Art.

[@patmurkland4161]

Strands was toying with us today to give us partial words that seemed to match the theme.

[@sambright3719]

@patmurkland4161. Yep, clever stuff. ☺️☺️☺️

[@ldfahrni]

That was close. You could have easel-y made a rookie mistake

[@dora.7873]

This morning, the NYT introduced a new feature called Connections Bot. Similar to Wordle Bot, it analyzes how well you did on a particular puzzle and rates the overall difficulty. It also shows how you stacked up against other players by displaying the percentages of others who missed the same categories you missed.

[@hopechazz]

I have no interest in the Connections Bot. and I am fine just with the Wordle percentages, Dora. Thanks for the information though as I am sure some of the others will be happy to know about this new feature in Connections. Also, HAPPY LABOR DAY!

[@ellensassani]

@@hopechazz I thought you might like it because it gives you credit for what you got right even if you don't get everything right. I have been doing genealogy research. I was interested to learn that my great-great uncle was an editor for the New York Times. 🙂

[@hopechazz]

@@ellensassani This explains why you are good at these NYT games, Ellen. Your great-great uncle is probably smiling and looking down on you from heaven. 😀

[@ellensassani]

@@hopechazz Perhaps, although he died (1936) before the NYT started publishing puzzles (1942). My mom has a corner chair that belonged to him.

[@hopechazz]

@@ellensassani COOL!

[@DailyWordPuzzlesWithOranje28]

Well done Art! Your custom puzzle is on tap for tomorrow on my channel! 🎉🎉🎉

[@hopechazz]

You and Art are quite the pair, Oranje. I am sure that you will have no difficulty solving Art's puzzle tomorrow.

[@LadyAndreaRose]

Art's puzzle was outstanding!!! I lit them all up, misnamed 1 category and whiffed the name on the last.

[@hopechazz]

I am fine just doing Wyna's puzzles, Andrea, but good job!

[@ellensassani]

Very nice puzzle! If there was some way of submitting puzzles anonymously, I'll bet Oranje could guess who the creators were. 😊

[@hopechazz]

@@ellensassani If there WERE some way, Ellen, and Oranje is one of a kind. 😀

[@geowiz9436]

Wordle in 4 AVAST CRANE CHEAP CAMEL Connections: Perfect score! Been a while since I've had a perfect score in this game. Glad everything was pretty straightforward. Strands: Got the Spangram first and under 5 minutes, but had a lot of trouble figuring out what they were calling the puzzle. I knew it was british positions, but titles didn't come to mind till later. 9/10

[@brianinja]

I swear the green category of Connections was used very recently. Or something similar to it. I know I saw it somewhere.

[@brandanbaker5604]

Art - Loving these videos, so good! Just a word to future Art, can you promise that if you ever DO fail a Wordle (can't see it happening), you please don't label it in your video title if it happens? (you know, 100 Wordles from now or so.) .. Felt bad for Rangsk the other day. Another great player. Thanks Art.

[@dougr4069]

Art will never fail. Way too smart for Wordle.

[@DailyWordPuzzlesWithOranje28]

@@dougr4069 I also don’t see Art failing unless he purposely sabotages himself with a bad starting word or an intricate challenge.

[@hopechazz]

I could not focus with Strands/Connections today and both games were not difficult. I was fine in Wordle. ALL was not bad. 😂

QUEEN RIVET PONEY BAGEL CAMEL

[@chinareds54]

Wordle: As usual, went with a similar word with 5 uniques. QUERY SNAIL POTCH DECAL CAMEL -------- Strands #183, “Order in the court!”, 8 Bah. I took my time to figure out the spangram first and was feeling so good that I avoided the COUNT trap because I realized that would leave a VIS isolated, so I got VISCOUNT in super hard mode. But then I fell for SQUIRE instead of ESQUIRE. Total solve time 5:18 so I also got hit with the time penalty. ------- Connections #449, 9.5 Unusual (1) Occupation (1) Things People Collect (0.5) - too broad. Chain ___ (1)

There is nothing wrong with getting 8 points in Connections and you are often very successful with this game. You and a few others need to be taken down a notch. 😂
