Might just be my ego talking, but if you've played long enough it feels like you start knowing which words you've already seen a bit and you can avoid some obvious "nos".

Anyone else trying the Strands game. It's fun brain candy but unlike Connections, I don't find myself calling BS on some of their "connections."

Literally the post right above yours.....

It is fun, but WAY harder and more infuriating for me than Connections (most days)

Man Connections is way harder for me but I've only been playing Strands for a couple days now so that could change

Probably should have said enjoying rather than trying. Oh well, be of good cheer.

Some days, like today, Connections is pretty easy (except for the purple but thank goodness you really only need to figure out three categories, and it's usually the fourth one that I look sideways at). And usually, even on hard days, I can see the connections once I start figuring them out. Lots of "aha" moments, ya know.

Strands starts out with that vague theme hint and a buncha jumbled up letters. Some days, like today, I see it right off. Other days, like yesterday or the day before, it takes awhile to even find words, much less a theme.

Used 4 hints on Strands. Brutal!

Got to admit, I'm enjoying Strands more than Connections.

Most days I stare at Strands for a minute or two trying pick out words before I even look at the clue above. I dont find it all that hard (yet).

I wish I had a good enough memory for that.

Somebody has been running a spreadsheet, I believe, but I can't remember for sure.
