Thank you for the compliment on my puzzle. So glad you enjoyed, and you solved it. Also I think Wyna is being "inspired" by some of my categories. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I saw my category in her puzzle. Or great minds think alike.
Didn't expect a "WOO" in one of your videos ... But Zorse "Needs two claps, and a Ric Flair .... WOOO!" on its way out. (if you don't know the meme its worth a quick peak, mostly high school and college kids celebrating a win)
Brilliant Wordle! Five for me: AROSE, THING, TABOO, TODAY, TOTAL. Phew, won a 50/50 against TOPAZ. Perfect Connections! I don't know video games. I had no chance. Brilliant Saturday Mini! My time was 2:33. Exciting custom! I lost track of all the courts and lawyers and just couldn't wrap my mind around it. RIP. I enjoyed the challenge though; thanks Randy! I will try your custom tomorrow. Great Strands! One mistake for me: I tried NUTS. Fun extra games. I agree: there is no o in Dalmatian.
WORDLE ... O Canada keeps giving. Didn't even think of TONAL so TOTAL in 2. That's 2 2's this weekend. CONNECTIONS ... Got purple by default because I'm old enough to have played an ATARI. Same finish on yellow/green. BOO! SC ... Nice save at the end. When you said Tennessee alumni I was impressed. BTW its Todd HELTON (MLB), Peyton obviously, Candace (PARKER) (WNBA) and then Jason WITTEN (NFL) And I've failed yet another Randy puzzle. One day, I'll figure it out. The overlap sometimes is just too much for me, and I start guessing. Interesting to see your Mini solve tomorrow ... 😶
@@losh23 I’ve recorded tomorrow’s video and I see what you are talking about 😁 Thanks for the heads up on the athletes. Peyton Manning was all I had to go on.
Wordle - chore solid tonal total Connections - had 2 errors; trouble with the video games. Had trouble with Sports Connection; too many names. Hang Five - one live remaining; the q was tricky. Cladder - 27.40 seconds
...And with that final "going out with a bang" puzzle in the books, the farmer takes the zorse by the reigns, leading him out of sight back behind the barn, and then we hear a single gunshot ring out. Sorry.

@@randolpho- I definitely think she is scouting you for the big leagues! 😃
@@losh23 I am aware of the meme! Also, Ric Flair was a staple of my childhood and I occasionally watch his Royal Rumble wins for the nostalgia.
Thanks for your comments. Games are just that, games. Let’s enjoy them together.

@@ellensassani Our worlds are colliding! 😁
As a non game player i had no idea about the manufacturer of them and so was stuck on sonic being one of the games so used up my guesses on those
