    OK, I looked this up. Perfect martinis are a 50/50 mix of gin and vermouth. Dry martinis have less vermouth, wet martinis have more. A dirty martini has olive brine added.

    Brilliant Wordle!
    Five for me: AROSE, THING, CLUMP, BAWDY, KNACK.
    Wow! Perfect reverse Connections.
    I got only the two easy groups. I was thinking ... LAUNDRY, ... OIL or ... VACUUM but nope. RIP.
    Superb Tuesday Mini!
    Exactly one minute for me.
    Excellent custom!
    I think you can earn money for your school by collecting cereal box tops. I don't know exactly how it works; I have no kids.
    I saw 3 classic ensembles, 2 slips but also 2 words that were completely foreign to me and quickly deteremined that this was way above my pay grade.
    Excquisite Strands!
    I didn't understand the theme and needed hints to figure it out. After that, all the words were easy.
    Mandatory trivia quiz: what is the world's largest even-toed hoofed mammal? The blue whale of course.
    Great Zorsly!
    Great Hang Five.
    Three wrong consonants for me.
    Ultimate Word Grid! You found the winning strategy: be the first one in the world to play and get 9 unicorns. I have tried it a couple of times but someone always beat me to one of my words and I scored a devastating 50% on it. I didn't know yet that I could have changed my guess.
    I have succeeded a couple of times in GeoGrid. That game is not updated in real time; if multiple players load the app before any games have been completed, they can all score 0.00% even with the most obvious answers. But you have to know geography trivia.
    Perfect Stacked! I think I saw this on SolverTom's stream last night so I can no longer solve it solo.
    Great Word Salad! I missed this one.
    Fine Letter Loop. I didn't pre-play this but saw he solution at about 1:40 while you were playing.
    Thank you for playing Xordle today so I can boast of my result: I aced this in easy mode. Granted, this was an easy one and we just had holey foods in Strands yesterday.
    Very good Cladder!

    Oranje, beautiful solve. I was rooting for you!! Art inspired the things on/in rolls category. Great job picking up on the slips. I meant to use permission instead of banana in the final version. 🙃 Guess I posted the penultimate version. My prediction was you were going to get purple by default, but I included Greenies and Sheba because they are for dogs, too. Fantastic for picking it out
    I visit Furball Farms Cat Sanctuary a lot. They get Churu and Tempations by the truckload. While visiting and watching snack time for 350+ cats, the Tempations misdirect just jumped at me.
    Awesome job!!

    You and Art are amazing with Connections, Adam. I can relate better with players having average skills in this game. Doug and I were not successful today in Connections. I ironically solved Melodilynn's puzzle with no mistakes and I am not a science person. Again , I was happy solving Andrea's puzzle with two mistakes .Also, Wyna continues to llike her BOOZE. I was fine in Wordle and Strands.

      It was more of an observation than a critical statement of anyone’s performance. Maybe their number of players are down on Strands because they were making it too devious. I know at least three TH-camrs who dropped the game from their repertoire completely.

    In college, I wrote papers directly on a typewriter. Several times I turned in the first draft, because I was either out of time or just didn’t want to start over. No such thing as editing, other than whiteout.

    You speed ran the mini! I got it in 1:17 and I thought that was good. How on earth would you know a bold haircut is edgy of all things? Does "Hear me Roar" come from Helen Reddy's song "I am Woman" of 1973? I didn't get it right away because I was thinking of Katy Perry. And finally 4 down I had RACE instead of RACY, but I was able to easily fix it. TNT I did get right away.

      Tigerboy, nice try!! CHURU is like crack for cats! It is a lickable treat. Temptations are a hard treat. Sheba has lots of treats. My one cat likes the meat sticks. Greenies are meant to help with dental health in both cats and dogs.

      It is good when you give the daily statistics of Connections at least, Tigerboy, and you were humorous as far as Wyna with her drinking.
