Ouch!! I hate when that happens - but I haven't been bold enough to post when it does. Of course I haven't much posted my results either way for this game. Maybe because the results don't lend themselves as easily to artistic interpretation. Until you SPLAT.

Hi, Kay.
I just don’t have any ego in this. And today apparently no synchronicity either!
A few years ago I enjoyed the meta puzzles, but then got really bad at them for some reason and finally decided the frustration way outweighed the enjoyment.
I still do Wordle though I find it largely dull.
Connections much more lends itself to thought which today failed me. I enjoy it though above the rest. I idly wonder for long long it can go on. Will it get harder and harder?

Tsk, tsk -- Now you've gone and done it, Joe...
I save Connections for next-to-last (just before wordle) because it's a favorite. I think I've developed an unhealthy attachment to my "regimen" order (What is it up to now? Nine of the buggers?) that I can't diverge from since that might bring on the bad luck goblins!

It worked for me

Maybe try a different browser? Or clear your cache?
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Thanks, Barbara. It was an NYT glitch, not mine. A word was in my puzzle that should not have been. Strange but true,

Very strange. You somehow got the adult version? LOL more likely they corrected their mistake at some point in the day. I often don't get to connections til late afternoon/evening.
