Seems like a tough word to get 2 or even three on, good going. It took me four

I used to play the Hard Sudoku, but now I tend to play one of the puzzles featured on the 'Cracking the Cryptic' YouTube channel instead. Generally more fun puzzles because they were constructed by a human with a specific solve path in mind, whereas the NYT Sudoku are constructed by computer as technically solveable. Not always the most fun
I like Connections. Strands is good but can be annoying. I don't understand why Spelling Bee is so short.

It took me awhile to get a foothold with Connections. Early on I was just losing big time.

I was playing Connections when they had that game analysis thing but I stopped when they put that behind the paywall. I'm less interested in the game than I am in how people play it

Connections and Strands are my two favorites. Love those and get genuinely bummed if I miss a day.

Also love the Mini and Spelling Bee.

Tiles sometimes.

I was also unfamiliar with that word.

However, I found the rest of the puzzle fairly straightforward.
