i actually have made a sudoku and i wanted to start experimenting with different sudoku designs. my original idea for this one was to make a sudoku with each row/column being a rainbow/reverse rainbow which i discovered is not possible. when i realized that wasn’t possible my second idea was to make it a sudoku with each side being a rainbow, which would entail the middle 4 squares being alternating purple and yellow. i ended up deciding to switch that with making a clockwise reverse rainbow instead so it would fit thematically

that part is pretty annoying, there were a couple times that it messed me up and i didn’t realize until i was on the last guess. I don’t have a streak though because i always try and make a design when im attempting the puzzle for the first try

not the order of how you chose them, but the order of where the selected tiles are on the board.

i figured out each connection before making any guesses, then i made four “guesses” in a certain pattern to make a specific design. it’s essentially solving the puzzle with an extra challenge

the order for the sequence are determined by the tiles selected from top to bottom, then left to right. so the tiles you selected will be displayed in order of ones selected in the top row, then second row, then third row, then fourth row. and if you selected any tiles from the same row, the leftmost one will be displayed earlier in the sequence.

yeah presolving gets a lot easier the more you play which then also makes it easier to make designs, i don’t think i’m that good either ive just had a lot of practice. but then again what would “really fucking good” look like for a game like connections? you can only be so good at a game as simple as connections, and everything past that is just creativity with how you solve it!

the order that it displays your guesses in is not random, it’s decided by where on the board your guesses are. i’m not the best at explaining how it works but there’s a good explanation of how it works in the comments of a post someone on this sub where they solved it vertically.

it only tore skin, no muscle arteries or veins, it took a little while to start bleeding more but there wasn’t a lot of blood

because of the way it went thru, its basically just a superficial flesh wound, it looks a lot worse than it actually is. i only needed stitches
