Ah yes, as the prophecy foretold, a sub 3min solve

That was amazing, Oranje! I got a nice little 3 in Wordle as well: STARE COLIN CUMIN. I found Strands quite easy and especially enjoyed the doggie theme. Did very well in Connections too...no mistakes.

I am NOW like the "Tasmanian Devil" on Bugs Bunny dealing with the ONE AWAYS in Connections and was barely able to get CUMIN with Wordle. You continue to amaze me in these games, Oranje, with your unusually high intelligence displaying your "laid back" personality. I did get on U-Tube and looked up TASMANIAN DEVIL. These animals REALLY do spin around like tornadoes making these loud, yet goofy growling sounds. 😂

Congratulations! You actually took me out by two seconds. Furthermore, you deserve to win based on a perfect y-axis symmetry in wordle, finding 'dogpile' so quickly, and announcing the yellow Connections category VERBATIM. Well played. ❤

Fantastic job! You even got Connections in order! I was fast on Wordle and Strands, but not Connections.

XEROX STAIN CUMIN An excellent speed run. I got Connections in order but not as fast you did.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND ART FOR THE WARP SPEED GAMES TIMES!! 🎶🏆🏆🎶😊

Your Wordle looked like 13 seconds to me so I think you're ahead 👌🏻

Clinical as always

HUNDO, QUINT, CUMIN

What is your breed of dog from Madagascar? I couldn't quite catch it. My wordle: 4. Strands: 9 Did you realize that "Dog Pile" means both a collection of dog breeds (which is what I was seeking) plus a heap of excrement? The Spangram is actually shaped like a pile of poop. 💩 LOL Odd sense of humor these creators have. My Connections was 8. Solved in (almost) reverse order and about 30 seconds shy of the 5 minute mark.
