I feel like over the past week they've gotten harder.

 

[hawkeyetraveler]

Boy oh boy did I have to soak on this one. I started it at about 7am when I got yellows and blues. I let the others stew for several hours before getting green. Purple was never happening.

The struggle was real today. Managed to solve all 4 but not before 3 mistakes had been made.

Is there anything more annoying than the message, "Just One Away".

 

[SL Hawk Fan]

That was mostly easy but with an exceptionally hard green category that possibly displays some “east coast bias”.

never think of mozzarella as being “round” except maybe on old school Sicilian pizza

Agree with @SL Hawk Fan. I wouldn’t normally register the greens as a group - even though the last time I got the thing he mentioned it was that type.

Agreement with a few of you. Greens would have never clicked. Getting purples came fairly easily.

I backed out of 2 or 3 of them because I couldn’t see the 4th word. Not a bridge to nowhere, but the grocery store section category the other day had like 8 possible choices, so I guess a lot of fake doors that don’t open.

 

[Hawkfan_08]

I swear to everything I am not lying. This is the third time in the last two weeks I have carelessly clicked on a box I didn't mean to and hit guess. This is exactly how I type on here as well. I just click buttons and never double check.

Spoiler: Has this happened to anyone else?

I immediately saw the sand category, but went for the oasis trap. Dumb I know. But the thing is, I swear I did not get the “one away” notification. So I had to leave it until the end. The whole time I was thinking “how could it not be sand”?

Spoiler: Spoiler

by definition an oasis must include sand. Not a band from the 90 with 2 brothers who hate each other.

 

[hawkeyetraveler]

How do you do the spoiler?

In the normal message window there are icons at the top. One of them is three dots in a vertical line that pulls down other less used icons. Click that, then click on the eyeball with a slash through it. Type a spoiler title and then it will allow you to type the text between the symbols that encode the spoiler.

Shit. I would have never found that. Thanks!

Feels like over the past couple weeks there's often been one category that's totally off the wall.

Seems like almost daily I get to the last 4 and I have no earthly idea what connects them, and then when it's revealed I realize the connection is either a real stretch or very obscure.

I was all excited from my “eagle” in Wordle this morning and got cocky with my first connections guess. Jumped too quick and fell right into their trap. “TRAP” would have been another good option word to have in this puzzle, too! 😅
