Granny is usually with Tweety and Sylvester. Geese honk. Road Runner (who's actually more of an ostrich) says "BEEP BEEP"

Nice solve on Connections, especially the purple. Definitely KW! 🎉🎉🎉 Hope you get your well-deserved rest. The bird sounds were my first found category because I had just been discussing with someone how birds “say their names” in our local Native American languages.

Gobble : Turkey Coo : Dove Hoot : Owl Honk : Goose Well done on Purple. Best I could come up with is "Things that run" because 3 of the 4 words were a clean fit.

Nice analysis on the Connections with the green vs. yellow distinction

[@auldfouter8661]

I'd say , that at least in the UK crows caw , not coo.

[@teekake8602]

Art you are so funny even when your tired😂

[@milesbaillie6348]

Connections: brilliant getting the purple, but "crows coo"? What? I think you'll find it's pigeons.

[@lindal7444]

Or doves…

[@hopechazz]

Crows do the CAWING. Crows are also very smart birds.

Wordle: BROME UNITY CLASH STAIN ------- Strands #223 “Toon time”, 10 Super hard mode turkey. Figured out the theme right away and saw FOGHORN, DAFFY, PORKY and BUGS, but finding spangram was tricky.

Bird Sounds (1) Warm Clothing Item Worn around the Neck/Shoulders (1) Endure (1) Beginning of Tech Company Names (0.5) Bah, all of those companies do more than just cell phones. -------------- Sports Connections #19, 9.5 __ Kick (1) Former Pac-12 Teams (0.5) - didn't realize all four moved to the Big Ten Original NHL Teams (1) Basketball Court Places (1)

BROOM SCALE STAIN Wordle in 20 seconds. Very lucky guess, 97, says WordleBot, 20 possibilies left.

[@geowiz9436]

Dang, I almost got it in 3! Even wrote it out, but I thought there was more of a chance for the N to be in the forth position. Didn't want to risk a trap. Oh well. Wordle in 4 BROOM STALE STAND STAIN Connections: Everything except the order. Even got the Purple. Figured out Sam was Samsung and put the whole thing together. 9/10 Strands: Perfect Score. Characters was a hard Spangram to come up with though. It's so much more basic than I thought it was going to be.

The Road Runnee in the cartoon goes MEEP MEEP! Geese go HONK. :)

[@DebraDaly-h6n]

Doves and pigeons coo Coo coo ca shew Here’s to sleep hopefully you didn’t have to count too many crows to fall asleep!!!

[@SaladVonBaco]

I think a goose honks and a dove coos. A crow would caw. Then again I'm no bird expert so maybe I'm totally wrong. lol

[@amber-F-7]

with Wordle you will break your streak unless you do some other things like logout, clear cache and delete data (I think). Depends on why you're doing it. I'm sure people use multiple devices or even play after knowing the answer. Sooner or later they must realise it's just a game

[@amber-F-7]

Just thought, I should have mentioned genuine reason first. KZbinrs record a batch if they going to be busy- holiday etc.

Congratulations! I couldn't stick to the same starter

[@mtarvon3577]

@@amber-F-7thank you. My challenge now is finding a starter that pairs well with my second guess of ROULE, or find two totally new starters. I like to have a word that starts with S, and I like to cover the traditional five vowels in my first two guesses. Maybe I will make a simple tweak and go with SATIN. That has not been the answer yet……..
