First time I’ve found the spangram last 

Ooh, we get the theme early from you! 😉

this one was harder than yesterday. The last group I was puzzled over.

I got the first three relatively quickly, but that fourth one left me scratching my head.

DH, DD, and I do Connections, Strands, and Wordle every day. 

DH and I both struggled with Strands today. I am usually too stubborn to ask for hints; I just stare at it forever while imbibing more coffee. DD's strategy is to ignore the theme, start in one corner, and just look for words. Somehow it works for her.

The first three were very easy, probably the most obvious one I’ve done. I didn’t figure out the connection on the last set, though. I don’t actually use one of the words that way.

I could not get it! I kept coming back to it each meal and finally got it. Is it ok to add spoilers now? What threw me was that I found the noun version of one of the words and was so surprised it was wrong I didn’t think to look for the past tense verb.

Today's was the easiest yet for me.  

It was easier for me today but I still used 3 hints. I like it though.  I feel like it is good for my brain.

I could not sleep and did today’s Strand at 4:30 am. I don’t know if today’s was just really easy or what but I did it within less than 5 min. And I have struggled with this game.
