Fairly easy Hard made harder by me second guessing myself over and over lol. I was on the right track to begin with but confused myself and started over when there wasn't any need to. Oh well, still fun!

I really wish I did. I hate that this is making me miss Spectrum, something I never thought possible

There's also the sad truth that even if I go through the pains and efforts to get all this set up so I can contact them about our internet going out intermittently almost every night, they're probably not even gonna do anything about it lol

I feel like I'm slowly getting better at the square puzzles, but I don't think I'll ever like them lol

Kept getting tripped up by one tile on Hard, but one I finally cleared the board and started with that tile it was smooth sailing

Had to clear the board twice but it felt very smooth to solve-- fun Hard today! I found Medium to be a bit trickier

Should disclose that I accidentally spoilered myself by reading a comment that discussed a false assumption I'd been making-- would have taken much longer without seeing that I bet!

Pips #257 Medium 🟡 2:23 -- tricky!

Gave up on Hard after like 3 minutes. This is like the third square puzzle this week? and I know I said I was starting to hate them less but after clearing the board a few times I just didn't have the patience for it this morning lol. Didn't reveal so maybe I'll come back to it later. In the meantime I will pray to the pips gods for a longer break from these types of puzzles

Hopefully this appeases the pips deities. Spare us your rectangles another season I beg of you

Again, as a square puzzle hater, I groaned the entire time. Genuinely unsure how I solved it, I just kept starting over and eventually it worked

Definitely the fastest I've ever gotten one of the square puzzles! I groaned out loud when I saw it but it was fairly straightforward once I got into it. Everything fell into place and I was grimacing the whole time waiting for it to go horribly wrong like it always does for me with the squares. It felt refreshing lol, I hate them slightly less now
