I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Also blue first today! I don't really try for purple first, I'm just pleased when it happens. Today's crossword, btw, is pretty cute

I only started trying for purple first when I realized it was a thing, and now it's an added layer of fun... it doesn't take much to amuse me, it seems.
We do the puzzle together at night, so I haven't gotten there yet. Speaking of, I need to get back to printing old ones and doing them on paper to practice for the tournament in March!
Who's thinking about going to that, BTW? Unofficial poll!

Wordle in three today -- that's my favorite number to get it in.
Yes! I feel like getting it in 2 is all luck, and in 4 is normal, so 3 is the sweet spot.

Yes, exactly that!

Ok just did today’s connections, I liked the repetitiveness (endings in O) but felt like it’s almost cheating to have one do the categories be “words in [another language]”?? That just seems wrong to me somehow.
