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.

Totally agree with all of that meara
Thanks for putting the puzzle tournament back on my radar, Jen! I just this morning thought of the Artisan Cheese Festival which, it turns out, is also in March so I guess it's time to think about Spring travel possibilities

Had to check my stats. I have the most solves in 4, but more 3s than 5s so that seems good

I have a headache and some nasal pressure. I blame it on the extreme temperature change. Went from mid 70s as a high to 44 and I think 49. Today the high is going to be 67 and then in the low 70s the rest of the week.
Work is being frustrating. It's no one's fault it's just new policies that are making more work.

Excellent!
Oh, I need to look at those stats about how many in three, four, etc. I know my stats don't go all the way back, because I'm 95% sure I got a lucky guess in one once a while ago, and that doesn't show up, but I'd guess the rest of % stats would be about the same.

Stat check -- most in 4s, but then 30 more 5s than 3s. I need to work on that!

Yeah, I lost all my history a while back and haven't gotten any 1s since. I think I had 3 or 4 , but no way to know now. I am still a little bitter about it.

I mean, the new policies are *someone's* fault. Probably not anyone you work with day to day, though.
