    I got a record 19s on the mini crossword today, got all across clues straight away.

    Connections was a bit tough today, only had 1 life left.

    I see its just been moved behind the paywall - Annoying as I enjoyed doing it several times a week but Im not paying $50 per year for it
    Its not gone down well with regulars though Im not sure why they should provide games for Free - exception being Wordle which they promised to keep free when they took it over

    Yep me too, did it every morning over a coffee, it’s only a matter of time before Strands and Connections goes the same way.

    Dont do Strands but I do do Connections - annoyingly I failed it today due to not knowing 7-11 counts as a petrol station and there being at least 4 others that are - couldnt work out why I was always 1 away. Brought my 6 game streak to an end :(
