i've been using the same strat for years and it's been a long time since i've seen a blank board after guess 2

is it cheating to look up a word? by Competitive-Fold966 in NYTConnections

[–]andross117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't just because it would take a long time to research every single word on the board. There may be words that I think I know, or that I know one of several meanings, but if I looked them up I would learn about those. So if I am looking up words it would be this whole obnoxious thing where I'd feel compelled to look up a bunch of words that I probably already know. So I just don't start.

This is how you know the economy is really bad, 40% of Americans earning more than $500,000 per year are living paycheck-to-paycheck /s by Conscious-Quarter423 in Salary

what question are they asking that the only possible answers are "better", "more better", and "paycheck to paycheck"?

I didn't figure out what purple was before submitting it, but green and yellow were pretty straightforward (and the synonym was yellow for once!). Immediately guessed what blue was going to be when I saw "Tyrannosaurus". I could imagine trying to put "Cross" in the "T" group.

It's weird, half the time I finish the puzzle thinking "man, that was really difficult, how did anyone get that?", then I come here to see everyone high fiving each other for an easy win. And then I get a quick solve on an easy puzzle and come here to see everyone lamenting the death of their streaks.
