Connections: I accidentally got spoiled because I googled the definition of "green cheese :(" Also I thought it was stupid that it was specifically GREEN cheese in the "things associated with the moon" category and not just CHEESE which was ALSO THERE
Strands: Honestly it was just not fun. None of today's puzzles were. 
Pips: Easy and medium were all well and good, but hard really annoyed me. I basically just brute-forced it by working through the individual boards in different orders and then resetting if it didn't pan out. It didn't feel logicky enough for me, it felt like I was guessing.
