Once I knew what they wanted that wasn't too bad

I didn’t enjoy it at all! I romped through it in under a minute because large words are much easier to spot than small ones.

The head-scratchers are so much more satisfying to do

Ok, I’d like to apologise for my post saying it was stupid and easy - I am forcefully told by the other members of my family that long words are not easy and I’m a weirdo, and shut up, Mum, you’re ruining it.

Also big words are not easy to spot unless you’re a freak who wants to oppress her children and/or adult siblings.

It all kicked off in family WhatsApp this morning 😂

@JaneJeffer Quite! It's our extended family's main form of communication, posting the various Wordle/Symble/Connections/Strands scores every morning.

It's the only way my father, in his 80s, bothers to keep in touch. He's quietly competetive but never thinks to actually ring for a chat. DB and SIL have been playing as well, and DS has expanded the games to include Framed and Actorle while DD challenges us to a music one (which we woefully fail at.)

We have the same @LenaLamont with my DM who lives abroad and family generations. It's a nice low maintenance connection!

I wish people would stop saying easy!! I can't get started 😭. Desperately trying not to use a hint

kindletimeisfinetime · 03/05/2024 12:54

Done! Would never have done it without a hint

I know what you mean @kindletimeisfinetime . The link was fairly straight forward but I found it quite difficult pulling out the last couple of words.

I haven’t heard of one of these, but it was the only word that fit
