As much as I'm missing the NYT games, I've really been having a lot of fun learning and playing all these games with you and bringing back a lot of your old regulars. I think several of these will continue in my daily rotation even once NYT hopefully decides to come to a fair agreement with the Union workers. I know you didn't play fibble today, but I had a crazy guess where I got all greens and thought I had it for a minute and realized it said something like not quite, still lying! That was fun. 😂
Preening - to my knowledge - includes a lot of things related to maintaining the health of feathers. "Arranging" is a little bit of a stretch, but the end result is to get them all evenly spread, aligned, and free of debris. If you could think of brushing your hair as arranging it, I'd say that's comparable.
A gutter in the context of books is the place that the crumbs collect if you eat a muffin while reading. It's the margin you can't write in or look at because the facing page is in the way. (Paused to comment just before you looked it up, but I think this explanation is more memorable than the definition you found.)
Does playing the NYT Strike Connections version help support those on strike? Shows active interest in the game outside of the app? The games are dated and numbered (November 10th #518 is available now) for time traveling?
I doubt they are monetized. And my browser has an ad blocker anyway. So it would be only "moral support" for me. But I think I'll do the puzzles today.
@@finlandtaipan4454 True. But they can track the traffic and feel supported by the numbers. Also, Strike Connections offers the ever so helpful one-away clues. Conexo sometimes feels like Whac-A-Mole.
I have a discord where everyone posts their wordle. The first day I posted mine and saw everyone was posting their Strikle. Whoops! Have stayed away since.
@ I mean, every single one of these videos he’s doing is titled Strikle, and he’s talked about not crossing the picket line in every single one of them. It’s not virtue signaling if the ethics are specifically what the discussion is, but cool story bro.
Everybody: when you read news about the strike at NYT, don't read them at NYT. (LA Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal or Huffington Post would work). Fine Conexo. I was not lucky with TV and water guesses: 10 guesses total in over 4 minutes. Book things were the leftovers, and quite random, imho. Excellent PlusWord! I knew the singer but I struggled spelling her name. Slow for me. Tough Cell Tower. This was disastrous for me: I was fixated on WITCH and ATYPICAL forever. Two mistakes, embarrassing. But no hints. Super quick Polygonle! I took a slower approach to minimize my guesses and was really lucky with 2: PASSAGE, MILLING. Still under 2 minutes. Tough Mini but you got it! I had lucky letters in my second guess: about 26 seconds for CLIFF, BRASS, ABYSS. Solid par score with the Symble! Lucky birdie for me: SONIC, REMIT, WAGON.

Thank you for supporting the workers!!!

I would love if you played Squardle ☺ thank you for supporting the strike and calling attention to it.
You symble solve was identical to mine

Could you try the weekly Squardle for a video?

Got the first two categories in Conexo and then made a million mistakes on the last two, which I’m not even sure mathematically makes sense!

@@tremkl okay attempt at virtue signaling but it’s pretty transparent

On Cell Tower you can write "Witch" and "Atypical" at the top, which was exactly what I did... That was diabolical 🫠
