Oh did you want more details on that? 😅 I'm not going to bother reposting, but the comment was about how I always think about the theme too literally, and the past couple days have been very literal.
Very impressed with how you worked out Connections! Took me a bit but got it with 1 mistake. I am my own worst enemy with Connections because I am often immediately irritated expecting the worst 😂 Amazing Strands today!! Also the comment "Perfect. I think they're talking about you" was so endearing. 😊 Loving the Dad jokes!
Phew, good Connections. I got only the two easy groups. I was thinking ... LAUNDRY, ... OIL or ... VACUUM but nope. I knew dry Martini and we've had dirty Martini before but I had forgotten it. I don't do Martinis. RIP. Great Wednesday Mini. My time was 1:14. Exquisite Strands! I didn't understand the theme at first 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. The big cousin of the hippo. Obligatory whale anecdote: I was playing online Scrabble and I laid down BALEEN. My opponent immedieately accused me of cheating because nobody could possibly know the word BALEEN. He was a kid.
I got connections in the same order as you. I was one away on purple as well. For me, I was thinking the category was along the lines of "has or puts up barriers". I picked shy (emotional barriers), peanut (the shell is a barrier), toad (has a layer / barrier of tough skin), and robot (has a metal casing / barrier). I made 3 mistakes but ended up getting lucky with the guesses, and when I saw what the purple category ACTUALLY was, I just laughed at how off the mark I was in my thinking lol.
Connections: ❌️🟪❌️🟨🟩🟦 Kinda stumbled my way into this one. Pretty challenging all things considered. Mini: 0:47 Not a bad puzzle. AROAR is a bit of a stretch for my mind, but overall still a good puzzle. Strands: Rangsk Perfect Absolutely flew through this. Saw GRAY and said out loud, "Is this whales?" No idea what a Right Whale is though.
Crazy how you make it look so easy. I failed my first 3 guesses, but somehow managed to pull it out of my rangsk. Also how do you know so much about whales?

I got no category on connections today, not American so purple was out of the question lol, I don't drink so no martinis, green is very broad and I ironically still don't understand what "means" means lol (not sure if it's because I'm not a native speaker or what), congrats on getting it! Strands was fun, got "right" and I was pretty confused, because I didn't know that was a type of whale, but then I found the spangram and got easy from there (then felt dumb that I didn't get the clue) A shame you got cut off there at the end
I saw the categories but still made 3 mistakes. I saw the Mister category early but I made 2 mistakes with it because I was thinking "Mr. Perfect". I also made a mistake in the drink category because I think you can order a drink "Short." So I figured out the categories and just guessed incorrectly.

They were talking about you!
love my timing! i just came to see if you posted today so i could have connections help 😁
i was so close to a reverse rainbow today but the yellow felt more like green to me so i botched it there
Still impressive for this difficult one!

I spent too much time studying whales and not enough studying fish I guess 😅

Wow, you had a comment, that's funny. :P
Yep I did!
Orcas are dolphins not whales
All dolphins are whales, taxonomically
@Rangsk the more you know

Saw green first, then yellow. Only then was I able to notice the blue, but decided to lock in purple first. No mistakes. 🟩🟨🟪🟦
btw it’s Harper Lee (To Kill a Mockingbird), not Lee Harper
Rangsk perfect on strands! Saw whales immediately too and finished it pretty quickly
