My year in review...

For the last few months I have changed my focus for the 3 games I play. As always, the goal for Wordle has always been to get it in 1 guess. I averaged 3.66 guesses this past year. But since they starting introducing badges, I changed my approach for both Connections and Strands.

For Connections, my goal is to solve it with getting Purple first. I've pretty much have sucked at Connections since I started playing, so I'm not too concerned about any streaks. My highest streak is 16 all time. But have solved 66 with purple first. More than half of those have been in the last 3 months since I changed my approach. Currently on a 4 day streak hitting purple first.

For Strands, my goal is to get the Spangram first. Out of 175 solved puzzles, I got it first 85 times. Also, I have solved 150 without any hints.

Hoping 1 day I can pull off the trifecta!

For today:
