Wow, brilliant Wordle! Four for me in just under a minute: AROSE, THING, CLUMP, CRAWL Perfect inverse Connections! Two mistakes for me (I wasn't easy with the adjective "easy" mixing with verbs) but I got the Monty Hall definition at the end. This is a classic example of confusing conditional probability with a bit of game theory. It all "hinges" on the knowledge that the host *always* (or almost always) opens a door with a goat. In that case, you should switch. If he opens a random door, there is no advantage in switching. Excellent Thursday Mini! My time was 2:43. Great Custom! Red herrings galore. I drive a Leaf and it's not an emitter of anything whereas a dragon emits fire and smoke. And I didn't know what a "serval" or a "scepter" were. But the throne was "obviously" a royal symbol. I made too many mistakes and I lost. But I liked the challenge; a good puzzle. Thank you Michelle! Perfect Strands! I saw "Mark" but no "Spencer". I saw "crab" but no "oyster". I saw "pail" but no "bucket". So I had to take a hint to get started. I liked Zorse and Hang Five too, trying to play along. Fun games.

Great job Michelle!
Of course, a spider is not an insect, but close enough.
