The stool joke absolutely landed that was hilarious.

[@sher1978]

That was me, (Sher) that asked about the SPAN-A-GRAM yesterday. Not only did you explain it to me well, now I actually know how to spell and say (SPAN-A-GRAM). I’m new to this game, strands. My granddaughter got me into this game.

Purple be purpling today!

"Don't play with your stool" Rangsk 2024

[@RBkaj]

Heard this as I was playing with my stool 😳

[@Brittany-89]

The stool joke🤣

[@thorneto2742]

You never commented on Grimace being purple which is funny because that is what clued me into that category.

[@TheGameVerse]

I dont think he fully realized that Grimace is the big purple mcdonalds character.

[@Brittany-89]

I got blue first because I was like oh these are kind of similar cause Im sure mosquitos have been around since the dinosaur age lmao. I thought yellow was so hard

[@SethWilson]

The “don’t play with your stool” joke landed with me :D but I’m utterly juvenile.

[@ICBBRUINS]

Might be the first time I've seen the crossword trick people. They clearly wanted us to think it was sides instead of edges.

[@Tiqerboy]

Connections was super easy, but I can see if you weren't familiar with Jurassic Park, problems. Reminds me of the one that had the elements of Wonder Woman's outfit. If you didn't know (I didn't) it was tough. If you knew, the puzzle kind of fell into place. You are correct, the COnnections Bot seems to cap out at 1,000,000. Though it says sample of a million which doesn't mean the first million, necessarily. Solve rate is 71% My uniqueness was 1/41. For light blue, I would have used TOILET LAWYER RAIN T-REX Anyone who has seen the first one, will get it. I got the mini done in just under 4 minutes. Or was it just under 2 minutes. Pretty easy in any case. Strands was easy, though I didn't find the Spanagram first.

I wore a blue shirt today...but somehow I got my first ever perfect reverse rainbow...I'm assuming today was an easy Connections? Posting before I watch your video....

[@dragletsofmakara1120]

@@andrewpowers2249 Twinsies! Except I’m wearing a blue dress. It still counts. I kept second guessing Connection because no way would it be this easy. Then Ransk said the difficulty. Is it April Fools or something cause I know it’s not me being smart.

[@Joe-lb8qn]

I thought connections was easy but still made one misstep which was dinosaur in the purple category on account of Barney 😂. Then I guessed grimace was purple somehow since I've never heard of it. And then JP became obvious.

[@nyboy07]

I got a reverse rainbow today!

[@Sg190th]

Funny, I was actually wondering if you'd end up updating your thumbnail designs for the other minigames. Only got Purple and Yellow in Connections. Strands was something as usual. Mini was fun.

[@TheGameVerse]

I think my love of jurassic park and childhood fear of grimace made this one basically a cake walk since once I put those in all that was left were the two size related categories. I completed it in like 30 seconds or something whacky, when usually it takes me my entire cup of coffee to even lock in a single guess 😂

[@TheGameVerse]

I feel like watching you has helped me slow down with these. This was my 50th connections and Im on my first ever streak and its currently at 3. Pretty sad, but PROGRESS😅

[@jemimahgertrude590]

I've never seen Jurassic Park, so I named that category "things related to prehistory".

[@izme1000]

WHEEL...OF...EGGPLANT!

[@big_red01027]

4/5? I dunno, especially with the purple category being what it is. Too on the nose. "Don't play with your stool" coincidentally sounds like a sentiment expressed in song on Nile's new album.

[@palfly1864]

Don't worry, you're not the only one messing up basic geometry X3

[@jdzabalad]

Got blue and purple and then couldn't figure out the other two😭

[@ljgalletta8872]

Hey cool thumbnail
