PBD plus one I’d never heard of.

Where do I find the game and the rules? Ta!

ThePoshUns · 22/10/2025 08:55

New York Times games. I pay for the app. If you play Wordle it’s worth it.

I have the app but don't pay. Free to play each daily game. Look at "?" button and How to Play, but I think the first time you go there it should explain. After a while you start to see more the sorts of things they do.

You need to find groups of 4 words that are connected somehow eg. parts of a bike, or all similar meanings. I can post an example puzzle if you like.

Phew. Straight for the red herring. I don’t know one of the yellows.

One of the yellows seems wrong, one of the blues is new to me as is one of the purples. Very American today.

Copy pasta is Reddit thing. It’s where one load of text gets copied and reposted loads.
