Fuck this game...
Connections: ARGGGHHHH I had all the categories, but I couldn't find the right words! Like, I figured out it'd be "cutting into pieces" with mince and dice, and I knew there'd be something about golf. Oh well.
Strands: I really should have gotten these earlier given how computergirl and copy editorpilled I am. Sorry for dragging that cursed 4chan terminology into DW.
Pips: Ahh pips. Definitely the game I'm the least skilled at. I got wayyy better over the time that I was actually playing it consistently, so I'll have to work back up to that. Today's hard pips was nice because it felt very guided, not so open ended. I got to use process of elimination and logic it out.
I know I'm not very good at these. I didn't play them for a long time, so I need to practice again.
