What's the Wordle?!

I wonder what Manky thought of today’s connections

 

It made the purple category really easy for me.

 

Wordle in 2 this morning. Per the Bot, 13.5% did the same.

 

What the hell was that blue category? I can usually guess the connections of the final one - at least in the neighborhood - but still no clue what the connection was.

 

Spoiler: Connections

It’s different ways to say a shit ton of something. The shitstorm came in DROVES. This category gives me a HOST of shit. The PACK of dogs scared the shit out of me. I’m swimming in a SEA of shit.

 

Oh - I really didn't make the "connection" - really a tricky one considering two of the words could be nouns or verbs - and I read them as verbs.

 

Found a great resource - for when you are all but certain a specific word has already been an answer and don't want to waste a guess on it - like today's answer.

Pulled Wordle out of my ass today - last guess after four whiffs with two greens. 18 letters used. Whew indeed.

 

Wordle bot gave me a 99 today. I’m usually sitting much worse

 

I love when Connections throws in magazine titles almost as much as I hate when they use "modified" music genres. Yesterday had both!

 

Thought I'd check the math, just to make sure my win pct. was correct. Seems to have been stuck on 98 percent forever. Nope. Missed 14 out of 699 puzzles. All I need to get to 99 percent is an 800 game win streak. See you all in 2027!

 

Very tough one today — 4.9 on average. I got extremely lucky today with my 4th guess as I only had one gold letter with my 3rd.
