Good Wordle!. Lucky three for me too: STORY, AGILE, PEDAL. Perfect reverse Connections! One mistake for me: I thought INSURANCE would be a valid add-on bet in a certain card game. Ultra perfect Strands! I made one wrong guess. Great Tuesday Mini! My time was in 2:48. A cross between French and Spanish words is never easy.

[@Tiqerboy]

I had my fastest time ever on the Mini @ 23 seconds but I actually was pretty upset that I didn't get to read the clue for TIGRE and get that. But yes, the rare time I got all the acrosses so I didn't even have to look at the downs. In fact I don't think I've ever managed that before.

STORY, LANCE, PLEAD, PEDAL

Great work! 😊

William Tell was a different person to Robin Hood (if either existed). Robin Hood was, i believe, "Robin of Loxley" from England, William Tell was Swiss.

[@ADailySliceOfOranje]

😂😂😂 I messed that up

[@finlandtaipan4454]

Also, Blind Willie McTell was a brilliant blues guitarist and the king of the slide.

[@dora.7873]

Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor with his band of "Merry Men." William Tell shot an apple off his son's head with a bow and arrow. Two different fictitious characters. 😂

Well..., legendary

[@ADailySliceOfOranje]

Yeah I definitely had that wrong 🤣

[@dora.7873]

​@@briangonigal3974 Folklore... legendary... call it what you you like. There is no evidence that either one of these guys was a real person in history.

[@dora.7873]

@@ADailySliceOfOranje That's OK. I can see how someone might conflate them. 😄 They've both been a part of popular culture for a very long time. The Robin Hood folklore appeared in lots of movies/TV shows, including a Mel Brooks parody called "Robin Hood: Men in Tights." And "The William Tell Overture" is one of those familiar pieces of music that just about everyone has heard but may not know by name. It was also the theme song for the old "Lone Ranger" series on radio & TV.

[@Joe-lb8qn]

Like many today i PLEADed before PEDALing. A 4 for me overall.

[@ADailySliceOfOranje]

A 4 is fantastic 😊

[@ADailySliceOfOranje]

You’re on a hot streak Ellen! You would be beating Art if you were in the competition. 😉

[@ellensassani]

Thanks, I'm having a good month so far! But Art knows I don't change my starting word for any reason. 🙂

Connections : wasn't too tricky, but I did have to think about purple for a bit. I cleared light blue and green right away. Saw what yellow had to be. Puzzle #605 🟦🟦🟦🟦what you can do to a deck of cards 🟩🟩🟩🟩Reveal / marker 🟨🟨🟨🟨Remuneration / benefits for work at a company. 🟪🟪🟪🟪"These are all bills" Skill 96/99 Uniqueness 1 in 30, I had the most common guess pattern. Connections Bot gave this a 4/5, I was predicting a middle of the road 3/5. 63% solve rate with 25% scoring the perfect solve. I feel that's on the cusp for 3/5. Connections Companion gave it a 3.3 out of 5. I might have given it a 3, at least we're on the same wavelength.

Congrats, Oranje. I’ve watched WGA before, interesting that she’s in the competition now!
