I’m a bit confused. I did today’s puzzle. I found one of the words, but it was shaded in grey after I connected it. I knew what the theme was. So I connected that next word, then went back to the previous word, which then appeared as blue. Maybe I missed something about the order of the words?

I thought this was super easy. Too easy. It’s a word search basically, with no unused letters. Maybe it’s going to get more difficult?

Oh, gracious. Another game to fit into my day. Haha

I’m not sure I’ll always play this one. It wasn’t that challenging, but perhaps that’s because it’s still in beta. I’ll give it another try. Thanks for sharing the link.

And for that reason, this game has limited appeal to me. It’s a relatively small grid, so not too hard to spot words, and once you get a couple you know the theme. (Not to mention, the game title hints at it as well).

Well I did I it but I never liked word searches so I don’t think this is going to be in my regular rotation. I missed getting the Wordle today though so maybe getting Strands makes up for that a bit. Hate when I get the end of the world but there are 5 billion letters it could start with.

I don’t think it’s that easy, to start. Clearly my brain isn’t wired the same way! I needed a hint to start me off. Then it wasn’t so bad.

Yesterday, I totally missed that the theme is stated at the top :). And today’s theme was really easy. I do word searches for fun - so I guess this is another game to go with the morning coffee. But yes, not as challenging (at least not the first two).

First time I’ve played one of these games! I didn’t realize at first that you didn’t have to follow letters in a straight line. I might like this one. :slight_smile:

I don’t know why this game doesn’t appeal to me, but I’ll keep doing it. I messed up connections so I will always have strands.

Fun! Thanks for that - now I just need 5 more minutes in my procrastination hour…
