I'd almost forgotten that I was one of the winners! If you are happy to pay postage to the UK again, then I am deeply impressed. And of course it's wonderful to receive such a unique item! Thanks.

I think the clock is very cool! I've almost got the puzzle solved, except that I can't name the one remaining category. Hopefully, you'll reveal the solution at some point. (I admit, I had to look up one of the words. I'm sure you can guess which one.)

Cool design on the clock! Question: how big is the clock in inches or feet? Oh, and please explain "4!"

@UTU49

@@MelanieNLee I can do that, as one of the math types around here. The exclamation mark means factorial. 4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 It might seem like a not very useful mathematical operator, but it shows up surprisingly often.

Love your clock

That clock design is gorgeous!! I like it even better than your first design. I really wish that I were a better Connections player, so that I could proudly display it in my home. However, I applaud all my fellow players who are the recipients. YAY!!! 🏆🎶

Wordle in 4: OCHRE - STAIN - FAULT - VAULT Connections: BLUE - YELLOW - GREEN - PURPLE One of my Nana’s favourite songs was “A White Sport Coat (and a Pink Carnation)” so finding the green connection was easy. (Also, that clock is totally awesome!)

STARE TAINT FAULT VAULT Strands #103 “Take a load off!” 🔵🔵🔵🔵 🟡🔵🔵🔵 I found this easy. The first word I saw was SOFA, so I knew these were things you sit on.

It would have helped to know that Derek Jeter's number was 2, but sports are not my strong suit. "Carnation" was kind of a weak clue since they come in so many colors.

I liked the old clock design a lot better!

I am quite good in Language Arts, but I do not know the Nato Phonetic Alphabet or my Greek letters. I am not very good with slang words. How crazy is that? 😂

Wordle in 5 OCHRE STAIN GAMUT FAULT VAULT Connections: Much better than yesterday. One mistake (I came at the end of the Nato challenge, so I didn't know HOTEL was one of them), All categories, and got them in order. Happy I got the Purple since I know nothing about sports, let alone Derek Jeter. Strands: Yeah, didn't do great today. Figured out what the theme was pretty quickly, but I just couldn't see the spangram. I kept seeing the word "Sedating". You know like calming, relaxing. That tripped me up. I've also never heard of a Divan before, so that didn't help. No hints, but definitely no points for time or Spangram first. Got it second to last. The Clock looks awesome! Glad you were able to get it to work!

OCHRE SLANT FAULT VAULT Connections was easy for blue/yellow then tough i guessed what purple and green categories were with a couple of mistakes. I have never heard of derek jeter, and erasers in the uk are generally white. I take it they are usually pink in the US? ETA pencils in the UK don't have a numbering system like you apparently also have in US I had assumed that a pencil was a consolation prize rather than there's a number 2 one.

Strands #103: “Take a load off!” 🔵🔵🔵🔵 🟡🔵🔵🔵 1:55 I find it boring to look for the spangram first. I would prefer to try to get under 2 minutes or under 1 minutes, rather than try to find the spangram first. To me, that’s a much funner way to challenge yourself.

@doraa.7873

@@UTU49 I agree. Trying to find the spangram first just slows me down. I can usually figure out what the theme is just by getting a random word or two, like I did today. Seeing the word SOFA first immediately told me that the theme was things you sit on and I found the other words very quickly.

@@doraa.7873 When I wrote that comment, I decided that from now on, I am going to completely abandon the idea of finding the pangram first, in hopes that I will get a bunch more of them in under a minute or 2. I think it's still a good idea to look for the pangram early, because it splits the field in half, which should help you get some of the other entries.
