Do You have to subscribe to get more goes?

No, you are allowed a set number of errors

If you guess right, that doesn’t remove one of your “lives” so if you only get one group and 4 errors, you will have fewer lines than if you got two groups and 4 errors

Thank you 👍🏽

Today's was evil! Like a pp, even Google failed to help. I now know far more about Fenway Park than I'll ever need in my lifetime.

HelloMist · 20/03/2024 13:25

Don't normally Google but I did today too, there were just too many bizarre ones.

God I shuddered when I opened that and saw all the three lettered words, but easy in the end!

Hello - hope it’s ok to join you all. I recognise lots of names from the Wordle threads.

I’ve just started playing Connections in the last week or so. Finding it quite frustrating! Failed miserably yesterday but got it by sheer luck today. The blues took a bit of time and I hadn’t spotted the actual connection till it was revealed!

It's always a quick win or an embarrassingly dismal fail for me

Today is a goooood day. 🎉

Stowickthevast · 21/03/2024 10:20

Welcome @Peridot1

It's an annoying game but we persevere. It's the Americanisms that are particularly frustrating. Not too bad today
