Big Blue Huddle

First off, to Jolly Blue Giant, if you have already highlighted this game, I apologize for not remembering. In any case, I have been getting mildly bored with Wordle. I still do it everyday, and I still don't mind doing it, but I feel like I'm going through the motions to some extent. Someone recently recommended "Connections" to me, which is also a NYT game. I recommend checking it out. It's enjoyable and a bit tricky, but it's very engaging. Here is the link. I'm curious to see if others like it.

BTW, here is a site that allows you to play the game as often as you want for practice.

Interesting challenge. I'll try it again tomorrow and see how I like it.

Good stuff.

I've done a few of the practice ones, and they're enjoyable. Like Wordle, you have to think about words, but this game makes you think out of the box a little more and consider meanings and other similarities. Today was my first day doing the official one, but after doing four or five practice ones I'm definitely a fan so far.

There is a definite learning curve. It's not easy.

Nope, that's the first time I've seen the game. I tried it, I like it. I play Wordle, Quordle, Waffle, and I'll add Connections to my morning ritual. Anything to exercise my brain cells

Not at all. Much harder than Wordle.

But, to your point, I suspect we will get better at it over time.

This was my first one. They definitely throw you curveballs in this game.

Definitely room for improvement!

Nah... just a well-informed Giants fan.   

Ouch. I don't think this is a game I can do before my first cup of coffee.

This new puzzle is giving my brain more of a workout than Wordle (which like @DaveBrown74 it feels like going through the motions)
