@Lemonsugarpancake I'm weird aren't I! 😆
Enjoy your cookie 🍪

@Cavalierorwhat Basil and I have commented in the past, that we've often found Medium more tricky than hard.
I am glad you persevered with the game and have continued to play.
I really do enjoy it.
My other daily games are words based, it's good to have a numbers one to work that creaky part of the brain!

I think a lot of it hinges on luck, if you get lucky with the first couple of tiles, the rest just all seems to fall into place.
Which I think is what happened to my Hard today.
I still get cross when they don't rotate the way I want them to though! And this week, I have discovered that sometimes the grid can be too big for my screen.😅

@Auburngal I'm on it! 🙂

@SpecialSpaghettini yes its very annoying when the tiles seem to have a mind of their own!
stunned af some of the times you and others get. I can only aspire!

SpecialSpaghettini · 04/10/2025 17:46

You are doing pretty amazing yourself @Cavalierorwhat ! 🤩
