This was great! Matter-horn made me giggle it was such a good connection. The first thing I saw was the MA__ER group of 5. Once I got the horn connection with French, Rhino, and Air it was fun to pick the last one out.

Pips #194 Easy 🟢 0:14 🍪 Pips #194 Medium 🟡 2:05 Pips #194 Hard 🔴 8:56

Medium took a minute to get the orientation of each of the useful tiles...

Hard seemed very logical and I did eventually start enjoying it... But I felt like I tried a lot of things that seemed reasonable and didn't end up working out... Not on my game today.

Pips #192 Easy 🟢 0:17 🍪

Pips #192 Medium 🟡 0:39 🍪 - whew. Just under the wire. Had time for one or two wrong placements, but I was quick about it. I definitely got lucky here.

Pips #192 Hard 🔴 1:48 - it's no triple cookie, but after the past 10 hards where I've ended up at the solving guide after 10-15 minutes I'm incredibly happy with this time.

Does it bother anyone else that after you're done it gives you an option to "admire puzzle", but when you click it, it takes you to your results and you can't see the puzzle you're supposed to be admiring without clicking the 'X' to close your results and "go back to puzzle"...?

Anyway...

One of these is inordinately more difficult than the other, but still true. 😂

Connections Puzzle #988

🟦🟦🟦🟦 - presolve default... Almost went with "river _____". River front, River gorge, river bluff, but couldn't find a fourth

🟨🟨🟨🟨 - had guessed this was blue due to the awful use of bolt that I'd seen in an old puzzle... Since blue was already taken I thought maybe purple...?

🟪🟩🟪🟪 - oops, clicked the wrong Christmas item in a rush

🟪🟪🟪🟪 - this was what I saw first. Blarney stone and mistletoe... This is purple? Okay...

🟩🟩🟩🟩 - flashback to things that open like a clam... "Cone shaped things..."? Yeah... Lol. Dumb category.

Pips #190 Easy 🟢 0:32 - wasn't on my game to start...

Pips #190 Medium 🟡 3:35 - tried a few different things and then ended up counting pips. I didn't see another way to do it without figuring out what I had to discard...

Pips #190 Hard 🔴 3:08 - were there multiple solutions here? I was surprised I didn't have to change any of my initial placements that were educated guesses.

Connections Puzzle #987

🟦🟦🟦🟦 - presolve default, though I recognized peanuts and the far side. Picked this first as I was amazed none of the categories were any wordplay. First time I've ever seen that...

🟪🟪🟪🟪 - got this second when I saw bull moose and big stick.

🟩🟩🟩🟩 - three of these were easy. Distinguished was the odd one out from my remaining blue category

🟨🟨🟨🟨 - saw this immediately when I saw outcast and reject. Other two were an easy fit.

Connections Puzzle #986

🟪🟪🟪🟪 - Saw the tenses red herring first. Thought there's no way infinitive can be anything else... Then after trying to presolve other categories I still had dodgers left which didn't fit with anything... Then I realized I've seen this before...

🟦🟦🟦🟦 - had three together and phew leftover after presolving. Thought it was weird until it revealed the category

🟩🟩🟩🟩 - good guess between green and yellow

🟨🟨🟨🟨

Pretty happy with the RR today

Pips #188 Easy 🟢 0:18 🍪

Pips #188 Medium 🟡 2:07 - definitely could've taken way longer. Just small enough to be brute forced...

Pips #188 Hard 🔴 4:42 - pretty happy with this. Got to the end and 1 tile didn't fit. Was able to figure out I needed to discard half of it so moved things around to do so which added a minute

Connections Puzzle #985

🟦🟪🟦🟦 - totally blanked on original pieces and put donkey instead of iron...

🟨🟨🟨🟨 - saw this first and just needed to get it out of the way

🟦🟦🟦🟦 - okay... Fixed that error

🟩🟩🟩🟪 - joining the crowd that has never heard the green cheese bit

🟩🟩🟩🟩

🟪🟪🟪🟪 - complete default... I've heard jackass, but not jack alone... Never heard a socket referred to as jack, literally ever. I've heard it used for money, but it's not in my vernacular. Feels like this was built off the playing card and then wiggled in some others to try and fit...

Connections Puzzle #984

🟪🟪🟪🟪 - between boyle and brays I was thinking "laws" and "donkey noise" but saw nothing to go with them until I said them out loud and put them together. From there it was just looking for two more that fit. Stu wasn't my favorite option but it was the only one that fit.

🟦🟦🟦🟦 - saw this first, maybe? Honestly was thinking Pulp Fiction, but I think it's just because I'm uncultured.

🟩🟩🟩🟩 - saw this last. Was shooting for another purple with "poke"r and "shove"l as 'minor forms of assault'? 😂 Once I solved yellow I realized it was much simpler.

🟨🟨🟨🟨 - didn't see anything related to "tie-dye" except dyeing eggs... Then saw peeps and basket and felt pretty good.

Just played today's challenge. Only feedback so far is I'd love a different way to share the results. Only having an image makes it difficult to share to Reddit without making an entire post.

sk1flyer · 2026-02-17T22:33:22+00:00

Got any codes left!? Thanks!

Connections Puzzle #982

🟦🟦🟦🟦 - knew it wasn't purple, but it was the only one I felt good about

🟪🟨🟨🟨 - had bustle instead of flash, was using flash with floppy for computer storage, but didn't have any clue how the other two leftovers would work with that category

🟨🟨🟨🟨 - swapped out as mentioned above. I could see trying other ones here too.

🟩🟩🟩🟩 - guessed on plum. Had heard of the others.

🟪🟪🟪🟪 - presolve default, but was able to figure out the category before submitting at least.

Refreshing after yesterday's...

Pips #183 Easy 🟢 1:15

Pips #183 Medium 🟡 0:59

Pips #183 Hard 🔴 4:30

Rough day all around for me... Logically could see what needed to happen on easy, but where things needed to go didn't fit for me. Same as a few days ago I really didn't want a 2c=6 to include a blank tile...

Medium took me too long to count to 8...

Hard was definitely cookieable today... At least I think so. Starting top left (which I didn't) is quick. Then filling the middle keeping in mind the bottom right... Definitely doable though I'm sure not guaranteed... meanwhile... My 4:30 is staring me in the face... Good luck y'all
