There has been major fallout or abandonment of many threads, including, apparently, this one. I'm unaware (or left out) of the reason or reasons. Has depression set in on many? I know I am not a happy puppy these days, due to perfectly understandable threats to peace and good behavior.

And I've been losing at Wordle more than ever. My own issue, because I've been sticking with the 'hard' way, which demands re-use of found letters so that in cases where you have words with many choices around a couple of known letters, say _OR___ you may have to go 'off of' the hard mode in order to eliminate extraneous letters.

But I wanted to ask the crowd if anyone has checked out the new New York Times Puzzle: "CONNECTIONS". I find this more of a personal draw than wordle. I have a friend who daily compares notes with me on both WORDLE and CONNECTIONS. She has an exaggerated idea of my adeptness because of my loudness and ability to sing despite my ineptness. But she's won more of both games than I have.

If there is a willingness to get into CONNECTIONS I'd like to know.
