    Lady was a tough category. Lady Bunny is a famous drag queen, Lady Slipper is an orchid (flower), Lady Finger is a cookie typically used in tiramisu, Lady Marmalade is a song title, Lady Bird is the common name used for President Johnson’s wife. The final two, Gaga and liberty are more well known.

      Ladybird is also the UK term corresponding to US ladybug.

      @@iabervon Lady bird is also a slang term for a kept woman or a mistress. I feel like that's an old-fashioned use, though.

    You didn't go back to the cheesy clue. It's as well to know that made is EDAM backwards ( for the big crossword ).I'm sure it will come up again ( along with vowel filled GOUDA ).

    Love the frustration on strands. I went through the exact same pain. Knew marmalade, gaga and bird. The others were a mystery. 😂

    Lady Marmalade is a song from the group Labelle ( the 1970s ) , A lady's slipper is an orchid I think , lady fingers are small long sponge cakes?

    Totally failed Connections, but glad to be able to help some on Strands: "Ladyfinger" is a biscuit. "Lady slipper" is an orchid.

    Connections, got the rainbow with 2 mistakes. I also had to try the A blanks together when down to blue and purple. Mini, Ozone saved me as well 😂 Strands, I have to disagree with you, sir...that was HIGHLY enjoyable to watch. I was cracking up at your reactions. Even more so when you wondered if the whole puzzle was just terms for giving someone the finger 😂😂😂😂 I kinda want that to be a future puzzle 😂 Love the dad jokes!

    On Strands I saw the category was front women and then I immediately saw Lady Gaga so I didn't lock it in because I wanted to get a Rangsk perfect. I sat there for 18 minutes because I was sure the 😊category was about female singers based on having found Lady Gaga, and I couldn't convince my brain to see anything else.

    Connections was really tough today, I got the yellow and the blue and then came to a screeching halt. My sister and I had to look up hints to get through it and we still didn't understand purple.

  • @iabervon
    @iabervon 22 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

    On Connections, I never thought of the category for purple, wasn't sure of the members of blue or green, and wasn't certain yellow was going to be right, but somehow didn't make any mistakes.
    In Strands, I saw LADY GAGA immediately, thought it was going to be the span-a-gram with the other words being words from titles of Lady Gaga songs, and then was very surprised when it didn't lock in.

    I only got yellow on Connections. I don't agree with "Certain" meaning a Handful of. I think that was a bad category.

    Failed connections today, down to blue and purple with just 2 mistakes left
    Strands was easy for me because I found "liberty" and promptly found "lady", which I quickly figured out was supposed to be "ladies", the rest was easy, even if I don't know the reference like "marmalade" or "bunny"

    English not being my first language and not being American makes the games 100% harder. What is lady slipper 😅 and I had no idea about the _is _is

    Originally released by Patti Labelle. Some of the lyrics:
    Hey sister! Go sister
    soul sister
    go sister.
    He met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans
    Struttin' her stuff on the street
    She say
    Hello, hey Joe, you wanna give it a go?
    Getcha getcha ya ya da da
    getcha getcha ya ya here
    Mocha chocolata ya ya creole Lady Marmalade.
    Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
    Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

    Lady fingers: crisp (no added fat) cookies/biscuits. Lady finger is also a name for okra (exciting mucusy vegetable).

    Ladybird is what Americans call a ladybug. I got that first and it unlocked the puzzle for me. Ladyfingers are like sponge biscuits, they are used in tiramisu. Lady slipper is a flower. Lady marmalade is a song. I know it from the Moulin Rouge movie but I think the original is from the 1970s. I know Lady Bunny from watching Drag Race.

      *what British people call 🐞
      ETA I think you could read your first sentence two different ways, so feel free to ignore me.

    Did not enjoy Connections today. Thought for too long that one of the categories was Encanto related before I realized other meanings for MADRIGAL. Strands took me quite awhile; felt like it took some out of the box thinking.

    Connections : Oh boy this was TOUGH!
    Puzzle #576
    🟩🟪🟩🟩 different amounts of something. Had ENOUGH in there.
    🟨🟨🟨🟨Singing Groups.
    🟪🟩🟪🟩Let's make _______ A DEAL, LOVE, CERTAIN, SOME. Red herring. Even the Connections Bot couldn't figure out what I was thinking.
    I had to try something. Well, the first 3 made sense and SOME, well we've all heard at live events, the announcer say "Let's make some noise!" when they want to get the crowd all riled up.
    🟩🟩🟩🟩Figured Enough didn't really fit when describing a varying amount of something, and CERTAIN made more sense. It worked!
    🟪🟪🟪🟪___ is ____ (Enough is Enough, A Rose is a Rose thinking of 12th Night, A Deal is a Deal (of course that's easy enough) and Love Is Love, right? I'm unlucky at Love by the way.
    🟦🟦🟦🟦Description of Anne Frank's Diaries. Okay, I guess i went too deep here, didn't have to, right? See, I thought they were referring to specific literary works / Author rather than in general.
    Skill 81/99
    Uniqueness 1 in a Million. Considering 66% made that first error, I'm shocked, SHOCKED that my guess pattern ended up being unique.
    Anyway, no surprise the Connections Bot rated this one 5/5, extremely tricky with a 48% solve rate and only 10% scoring the perfect solve.
    What I find, if I had that Aha moment on Purple earlier, I could have had a perfect solve because I wouldn't have made those two errors involving purple and green. Funny how that works!
    Footnote: Turns out "A Rose is a Rose" comes from Romeo and Juliette, not Twelfth Night.
    I love your joke calendar aside. Looking forward to the daily dose of humor 🙂
