@magic.wizards.com I'm fairly new to Magic, and I think it's really, REALLY important for you to understand that for new people to the hobby, Secret Lair is one of the worst online shopping experiences ever. I sat in front of my computer, waiting in line for fucking hours,

sat through whatever backend issues you were having, only to be told you sold out before I even got the opportunity to place an order. And I gotta tell you that fucking sucks. That sucks so much, I probably won't ever bother with another Secret Lair again, because now that's my expectation.

Connections Puzzle #941 🟩🟨🟪🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 I consider this to be a perfect game of #Connections #NYT

Connections Puzzle #942 🟨🟩🟪🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 Two in a row, I've peaked. #Connections #NYTGames

Connections Puzzle #770 🟨🟩🟦🟪 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 Does anyone know if NYTs other games have increasing difficulty through the week like the crossword or nah? This one really threw me for some reason, very happy to get a perfect game with the secret 5th category.

July 17, 2025 Connections Puzzle #767 🟪🟩🟦🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 Alright, this one was fun, good perfect secret 5th category too.

Connections Puzzle #766 🟨🟩🟪🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 So close to a perfect game, but I cannot believe that NYT thinks basic synonym groups are more difficult than conceptually related groups.

#NYT #Connections Puzzle #709 🟨🟦🟪🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 I finally did it, a perfect game of Connections, including the secret 5th category and a reverse rainbow.

#NYT #Connections What the hell is a "plain" pizza?! I know you don't mean a cheese pizza, because a cheese pizza is a cheese pizza, not a plain pizza. And if you mean a pizza without cheese, I'm not sure that's even a pizza.

#Connections Puzzle #668 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 Full reverse rainbow. There was maybe a chance at a secret 5th category, but it was way more tenuous than yesterday.

Damn, I really thought I could make it before her. Close race though, well played AOC.

AOC, (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), becomes the first person to surpass 2 MILLION followers on Bluesky.

Connections Puzzle #641 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 Dang, I was so close today and I guessed which category was easier incorrectly.

Archive March 8, 2025 Connections Puzzle #636 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 First ever flawless reverse rainbow, or whatever the cool kids are calling it. I know it isn't today's, but I'm still counting it, because I never look these things up. Couldn't have done it without Keanu and Alex though.

I'm making my own Connections puzzle today. Here's the first category: "United States Postal Service" And the four answers are: States, Postal, United, Service Thanks for playing!

I'm surprised at a lot of people's reactions to the TikTok ban. It gets banned for its potential to be used as a mass propaganda platform by a foreign power, and then everyone sees that happen on the day it gets banned, and instead of seeing it for what it is, everyone rejoices when it comes back.

The most common response I see is "well US companies are doing the same thing!" But why is the response "we should allow a foreign country to do it because we allow US companies to do it," instead of "we shouldn't allow US companies to do it either."?

#wordle guesses today: ⬛⬛🟨⬛🟨 ⬛⬛⬛⬛🟨 🟨⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Question: do you try to get the answer in as few guesses as possible, or do you "waste" guesses making sure you have enough info to solve? My opening 3 are almost identical every day.

I've cut my Amazon purchases down to fewer than one per year. Buying directly from the source is almost always just as easy, and all you have to do is not be so impatient that 2-day shipping is your sole priority.
