I was doing Strands for a while and forgot about it. I like Spelling Bee the best but often forget about that too!

I go through waves! Right now, I am finding word games nice and distracting. ;)

It’s embarrassing how many times in Strands I have to use a clue to get the lettered circled and another clue to figure out what order they’re in 😬

I'm considering this our learning curve period. ;)

My NYT crossword puzzle streak is over 5 years so I’m obligated to do Connections and Strands while I’m in there lol. Not a fan of Letter Boxed and Spelling Bee. 🤷‍♀️

Oh, Spelling Bee is my true jam! I think I'm too dumb for the crossword. ;) I also totally get that once you're in the game portal, you need to spread your gaming around.

Ugh Strands! I can never understand the theme until I’m 5 clues in or sometimes never. 😡

LOL I know! When I start, I'm kinda like, "Why am I doing this?" But then after a few clues I like it and it's so satisfying when it's done. I dunno. It's like a word-game version of a really dysfunctional relationship. ;)
