Like NYT Connections game (but UK terms rather than US) - give it a try...

I've just found a Connecting Wall type game with UK terms and spellings which is very good.
Each day there is a puzzle that is either Easy, Medium, Hard or Extreme. I've found it quite useful that I can ask for a clue when I get stuck on one of the more difficult groups, but didn't need that today!

Thank you! The very US specific connections on the NYT version trip me up regularly so I'll give this one a go 😁

Thanks for this @ebc1. I quite liked it.

I like the way it automatically tells you if you're right so you don't have to hover over the submit button!

Did it. Was a bit unsure about the timer can that be turned off? I like to ponder the tricky ones.

BreakfastAtMimis · 11/05/2024 10:45

Thanks but probably won't play it again! A bit rubbish compared to Connections. I was confused by one of the category explanations "X is a red herring word" when X wasn't even in the puzzle. Confused

WhatICallMyUsername · 11/05/2024 11:21

I am glad that wasn't just me confused by the red herring @BreakfastAtMimis! I don't understand the point of having a red herring in a game like this as it could be a genuine word that could fit into more than one category but how would you know!

Is there a way to do previous days?

Today's Wordlinkle is a Medium - solved it with no penalties !

Today's WordLinkle was supposedly level Hard (not Extreme), but I struggled with penalties all over the place ! - Time, clues, and wrong guesses :-(

Hmm I can't say that I found those terms any more UK based than the normal connections. I don't like the fact that it submits automatically either as I like the chance to highlight 4 words and then look at those left before I submit .

ebc1 · 13/05/2024 10:07

Today's WordLinkle is an Extreme, but was OK with a couple of clues (and a wrong guess). I still like the fact that you can get a clue but continue with the puzzle.

I struggled with it yesterday and failed.

Found today’s tricky too but got there with some hints. Went back in to share it and it had reset so I was able to just do it again. And get it right this time!
