Oranje is smooth for August 6

I don't know if Bed, Bath & Beyond stores ever existed in Canada. In America, this was a big chain of stores that sold all kinds of household goods, not just things made of fabric. Unfortunately, they went bankrupt and closed all their stores a few years ago.

[@ADailySliceOfOranje]

We had them in Canada but I didn’t pay much attention to them 😅

[@hopechazz]

I was fine in all three games and was even able to get the purple category in Connections. I did especially well in Wordle: ADIEU, AFFIX, ANVIL.

[@ADailySliceOfOranje]

Well done!

[@LadyAndreaRose]

@Oranje, excellent job!!! I enjoyed your thought process.

[@ADailySliceOfOranje]

It was a challenge!

[@hopechazz]

In regards to the Roadrunner, I remember an episode with the Roadrunner standing on top of a bridge. The coyote attempted to cut a very small circle with a saw around the bridge under the Roadrunner. The circle remained in mid air with the Roadrunner stiil standing on it. In the mean time the bridge came tumbling down with the coyote defying the laws of gravity. My response was, "You've got to be kidding!" and then I laughed like CRAZY! 😂😂😂

[@ADailySliceOfOranje]

Always good for a few laughs 😂

[@dora.7873]

I enjoyed your puzzle, Andrea! Good job! I didn't really know what the dates signified, but I grouped them because they all ended in 5 and they didn't seem to go with anything else.

[@LadyAndreaRose]

Oranje did the same. I never thought about them all ending in 5!

[@hopechazz]

The coyote ALWAYS has brilliant ACME ideas to capture the Roadrunner and NEVER succeeds. I do NOT like the Roadrunner as I feel sorry for the coyote. I enjoy seeing the Tasmanian Devil in action with BUGS BUNNY. These animals exist in real life and really DO spin around like tornadoes mouthing those loud BLAH BLAH sounds. 😂

[@LadyAndreaRose]

I love Tazz!

Yes! Andrea did a great job putting it together!

Interesting that you said time travel. I just thought they ended in 5. Great puzzle, well solved.

[@hopechazz]

I can think of someone in Art's site not giving Oranje his full point for not specifying the movie title. Again, Oranje continues to be the Connections WIZARD! 😊

[@ADailySliceOfOranje]

I really had no idea but I made an educated guess.

[@hopechazz]

You were probably a scientist in another life, Oranje. ☺️

[@LadyAndreaRose]

Here's the funny thing. I picked Plotz because it was the same of a character in my favorite cartoon. The answer today is a very common element in that cartoon.

Has the NYT ever put dates in these puzzles? I'm used to words. Anyway, I solved it with two mistakes: A Rose #3 🟦🟦🟦🟩Going for _____ Duty but didn't look before I leapt because I didn't see 'ON' 🟪🟪🟪🟪Figuring I had the purple category, I thought this was no more deep than dates ending in '5'. I should have gotten this, though I don't remember 1885 in the movie 🟨🟩🟨🟨Going for things that float, but I had BOB instead of KAYAK here. 🟦🟦🟦🟦Wanting to save CIVIC for the Palindromes I finally got ____ Duty. Strange blue category. Does NYT ever do this? 🟨🟨🟨🟨Things that float, using KAYAK 🟩🟩🟩🟩And finally the palindromes. There were too many of these to make it my first solve, I saw that much. i feel better about this when the stats say the average number of guesses to solve is 8.4 when i did it in 6.

[@ADailySliceOfOranje]

I don’t think NYT has ever put in specific years. They’ve put in months and numbers for sure though.

[@hopechazz]

INTERESTING! 😀

CRATE SALAD ANVIL. ETA i immediately knew it was Back To The Future. Is that nerdy ?

[@hopechazz]

Not at all. I liked ALL of the BACK TO THE FUTURE series/movies. I felt the same way with the Rocky movies. 😊

[@ADailySliceOfOranje]

Not nerdy. Just well informed. 😊
