It’s just hard to grind one out in this game. It seems one has either made a key connection unlocking it, or one has not.

The last few times I had the categories but fell for traps being unable to make a more meaningful connection or unable to eliminate the pitfall.

 

[General Tso]

Kinda feels like how I feel after an Iowa football win. I think I'm supposed to be happy, but not sure

Dangit -

Spoiler

I read it as "Lead" and not "Lead", and that threw me off.

I'd have appreciated if one of the options was 'poop'

I only knew of 3 also and made a guess at the fourth. Never a good idea. 😆 You could say it was a shit answer.

Not even going to post results today, it was that bad

A pretty ugly route to get there, with the last four just being the leftovers.

I haven’t finished mine, I came here to see if I was unusual in my strugglers. Clearly not!

So far my first guess was a fail, now I’ve had two successful ones. But I’ve been staring at the remaining eight words for five minutes and just don’t get it..

I’m an idiot. It’s so obvious now, and I missed the easiest one!

However, the group that included lasso was stupid.

Much easier today!

I think I like this better than WORDLE. Wordle you are 99.5% going to succeed, and a low score is more luck than anything else. It feels methodical. This one you can much more easily fail, and you have to think more creatively.

Ended my losing streak today.....barely
