Great Connections! One mistake for me too: I thought a trunk was a kind of a nose. I was a swimmer in my youth. I won the county championchip in mens' 400m free style (all the competitors were actually minors). But I didn't get the pun. Good Friday Mini My time was 3:02. Superb Strands! Unfamiliar territory for me. I tried MUCKY, OBESE, FAKIR and SEEDY though I new they were probably wrong (they were). I was surprised that YUCKY was an answer. If I ever had a baby, I know she would be an immediate expert in the game of MINE sweeper.
Connections: 🟪🟩🟦🟨 I'm just incapable of discerning blue and green most of the time. 😠 Mini: 1:22 Went with LASSO instead of LANCE at first, threw me off for some of the later downs. Got there in the end though. Strands: Rangsk Perfect This one should be a breeze for Papa Rangsk. xD
Connections: Blue first, 2 mistakes; I tried to get purple first through process of elimination but didn’t work, also fell for the trunk/nose trap Mini: 2:03 Strands: Rangsk Perfect! Yesterday’s poor joke timing was clearly just an unfortunate coincidence, the jokes are clearly from a pre-set calendar. Good for you for apologizing nevertheless!
I'm a swimmer and I didn't see purple clearly. We always shortened the strokes to Fly, Back, Breast, Free. We never called it "butter". If they had done "butterfly" or even "fly" i would have been more likely to find it.
I figured out the swimming category first since I started swimming recently and those are the terms coaches use, except “butter”. (They call it “fly”.)
Perfect 💚💙💛💜 (I keep getting down to just yellow/purple lately). Mini was a struggle for me today - 3 minutes 😥Strands: Rangsk Perfect. Happy 80th Birthday to your Dad!! 🎂🥳🎉
Connections: Made one mistake with the noses and didn’t chase it, got blue-green-yellow-purple. Mini: 1:54 Strands: Not a Rangsk perfect (got the spanagram later) but didn’t lock in any extra words!
Green first on connections for me, same mistake as you made, only difference in our solve paths is the order of yellow and blue; I had a slightly easier time of the mini than you did, but the sheet clue also tripped me up, and also found though I wasn't anywhere close to getting a Rangsk perfect. (And, as it happens, the did remind me of what I - according to my mother - said as my first words, on my second birthday. "Daddy bath now please")
Connections was super easy and you'd think they would have given us a tricky puzzle for #600. Anyway, I cleared them in forward rainbow order, perfect solve. The swimming strokes did occur to me for purple but I didn't say "Starts of" when I described the category to myself. I'll be entering Art's competition for February where such stuff will matter.
Got another reverse rainbow today! Never would have thought of swimming, but I just found the other 3 categories and worked backwards! I feel like you could've done the same by finding all the other categories, and just risking it for the purple, even though you don't know the category haha
I was able to get purple first bc the other connections were so easy. But Didn’t get reverse rainbow, I disagreed with how they colored the categories…(they were really all just synonym categories)
Happiest of birthday celebrations to Mr. Rangsk! My dad was also born in the 40s. Amazing what they have lived through and the developments they’ve seen. May we suggest an honorary word for the Wordle wheel? EIGHT for the start of his eighth decade, maybe?
Too many commercials - and too distracting. Will miss your daily insight, but understand your decision to change platforms. Just not a jump I’m willing to make.
Connections - I was mad at purple. It's BUTTERFLY not BUTTER and FREESTYLE, not FREE. I burned two guesses on noses which led me to fail today. I would have got it I think if it was BUTTERFLY instead of BUTTER grrrrr. Strands and Mini I did alright on, 1 hint on strands.
Yeah, I'm not even convinced 'freestyle' is a specific stroke as opposed to an event that allows the use of any stroke - Most swimmers use front stroke for it because that's the most efficient stroke.
🟦🟪🟩🟨 saw blue right away, then made a mistake putting trunk with beak/snout. Rather than chasing 1 away, saw the swimming strokes. Put chest in by accident, but fixed it. Then I finally saw yellow with just two categories left. Almost reverse inadvertently, but too many red herrings to get perfect!
Opening and closing their mouth with sound coming out is all my kids do. Great video thank you.
Happy Birthday Mr. Rangsk 🎈🎉 !!
Can't tell if you were joking but trunk can be used as another word for torso rather than just referring to an elephant.
Always nice when there’s a baby theme for you!
Yep... she's not saying any of those words... yet.
Yeah, after playing strands I thought "well, rangsk will have an easier time than I here"
Great Connections!

You literally did connections in the same way I did! Including the mistake and order!

I thought that was so odd too. We always called it fly.

The Mini I solve in 2:06. I had SPEAR instead of LANCE but it was pretty easy to fix. I did get STUNT PERTH and EARTH right away.

Oh, and my Connections solve had me as 1 in 8! Wild lol
Hope your father had a great celebration for that 80th milestone!🎉

A regular rainbow today. Named categories, no errors.

Will definitely still watch your unedited screen recordings!

I thought purple was chicken related. Chicken Breast, Butter Chicken, Free Range Chicken >.
Happy birthday to your father.
Happiest of birthday celebrations to Mr. Rangsk! My dad was also born in the 40s. Amazing what they have lived through and the developments they’ve seen. May we suggest an honorary word for the Wordle wheel? EIGHT for the start of his eighth decade, maybe?
I'll do this when I get back from my trip, though it's technically the start of his 9th decade because 0-9 is your first decade 😉
@@Rangsk of course 🤦♀ EIGHT for the start of his eighties. NINTH for the decade. Wonder which word the bot word pick🤔 Hope he’s healthy and well.
Today was pretty difficult in the way that alot of the words could go with each other. I had to figure them all out and only then locked them in
Strands was really hard for me today.
Can you please play the LinkedIn games on a video?
Too many commercials - and too distracting. Will miss your daily insight, but understand your decision to change platforms. Just not a jump I’m willing to make.

Strands and Mini I did alright on, 1 hint on strands.
Right, it's the starts of swimming strokes. BUTTERfly, FREEstyle, BACKstroke, BREASTstroke
@@Rangsk I guess. I suppose I'm salty because I chased the one away for noses as you said in the video!

Strands was super easy, not a Rangsk perfect but no hints and no extra words, less than a minute
