In American sports we list the draws at the end of a team's record - in England the draws are in the middle so it would be 8-1-8
Being a gym buff, STAIR MASTER really hit home! Literally brought a tear to my eye!
I had to do tons of hints…never heard of the book Strands #167 “Carle classic” 💡🔵💡🔵 💡🔵💡🔵 💡🔵🟡
My first immediate thought was "Is the theme about Carly Simon classic songs and they're using an alternate spelling?"
I don't know if it's just my impression, but of all the daily puzzles, the Strands is the one that caters most to a largely North American knowledge base. Having not grown up in North America and not with the English language, I have only vaguely heard of The Hungry Caterpillar. Had no idea who the author was or what it was even about. When I saw "Carle" I had to Google it. Not sure if it's considered cheating, but here we are.
If you haven't tried Reese's Puffs, I would recommend you do NOT. Because it is easy to get addicted to them...
I found today’s puzzle pretty easy for a Saturday. Loved the clues for SOLVERS, DIRTYMIND, STAIRMASTER and INEEDAHUG, and the fill (GOESNUCLEAR, SCREAMQUEEN, MACGYVERS, SQUIDGAME, YOGAMATS, etc.) was super fun. “Toaster’s opening” with no question mark is brutal!
Found caterpillar early, flummoxed that it wasn't a strand. Found leaf and pickle, no clue how they were connected. Found hungry; it was rejected. Bumbled around for a few more minutes until I sort of recalled a children's book about a hungry caterpillar. After that, everything else fell into place. I am a 61 year old who never had kids. Is it obvious?
A plague on both your HOUSES!
Ugh I read this book a month ago and still didn’t get it. I got leaf and apple and just couldn’t see anything else
Forsythia is a shrub that is covered in bright yellow blooms on bare branches , very early in spring. Some consider it a bit of a thug in the garden but I love its cheery appearance so early in the year. Fun fact it's named by a botanist called Forsyth who was an ancestor of UK entertainer Bruce Forsyth ( as per a Who Do You Think You Are ). He had something to do with laying out a park in the USA ( Central Park?).
They’re running of ideas, reusing the same house category from the strands 😂😂 Connections Puzzle #433 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩
yes they're actually called camporees
DIRTY MIND was my favorite clue, made me laugh out loud, probably because I have one.
I know the book, but did not know the author's name. After looking for nearly 10 minutes and only finding leaf, I had to look up a little hint to see who Carle was. Once I found that the rest was easy.
Please watch an episode of MacGyver soon, I feel the style of the show is suitable for you, he’s a very logical problem solver. Thanks!
And yeah, NYT is doubling down on rewarding people who play multiple games. Like you said, NATTY ICE came from a previous Connections, and in today’s Connections one category was lifted almost verbatim from a previous Strands.
Here's how I did it quickly having never heard about Carle nor the book: -found leaf and pickle -tried pillar, then caterpillar; clearly is part of the spangram -these are probably things a caterpillar eats in a classic by this guy Carle -found apple -found spangram -found rest
Houses came back 😂😂😂
Once again I saw ranch and thought of salad dressings, and then I saw French and thought maybe I was actually right this time.
It's always a treat when being a parent of young children gives one knowledge that allows you to tear through one of these puzzle
Lunes means monday in spanish
I assert that if you watched Squid Game that episode name would be unforgettable
Yeah you wouldn’t necessarily remember the name of the episode but surely you would recognize it.
Chris, were they intentionally trolling you today?!
I found this easier than yesterday. I couldn't get a foothold in yesterday's but I solved today's.
Some really great clues! Loved Stairmaaster and Solvers. But Camporees was real dumb! That whole corner messed me up for far too long.
I remember jamborees
Yep, a bit tired. Today is actually August 16th. 😊
Strands #166 “This or that” 🔵🔵🔵🔵 🔵🔵🔵🔵 🟡 You solved it faster. 😊
CORAL ACORN One of my few 2nd guesses.
You didn't bungle it poorly, you bungled it quite well 😉 Seriously though, always watch your stuff, keep up the great work.
is chris remo british/canadian etc? ik he lives in the UK but anyone from the US would know these words even if they dont follow football.
CREAM > BRACE
CONGRATS!! 👏🎶
AUDIO PRATE GRACE BRACE
İ never heard of cryptic crossword before, i googled them and found the ones from the Guardian. They look monstrously difficult, can you actually solve those? That would make for incredible content.
I’ve done a few on the channel! I’d like to do more but I already do so many videos per day that I generally just can’t find the time.
@@ChrisRemo A fair point! I'll go find the ones already on the channel, thank you very much!
I gasped at 1:50 ish when you skipped over trying FEAST hahaha
Fun one. I got nothing and swim and then it clicked
You’re correct about Libby. It is the library app for borrowing ebooks (and also audio books). It’s a great service!
I started watching thinking I had already completed this one. Spoiled about four clues before I realized. Disaster.
CHEAT - BRACE
CONGRATS!! 👏🎶
Crane is my usual starting word, so an easy 2 for me today.
CONGRATS!! 👏🎶
A lot to be said for starting words. My "Adieu," netted me a 5 today.
never heard of go-go boots, I clicked elevator thinking they were ones with raised soles as worn by short people!
I googled them and found I actually had a pair, but I never knew that was what they were called. Of course I bought them In France so that maybe explains it.
Can anyone remember a crossover? I don't.
There was one a long time ago near the start of Strands.
Hated this one, did not see the pattern.
I could’ve easily got this perfect if I didn’t be stupid and put OK with the state abreviations 😅 Connections Puzzle #432 🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦
I came to see what you do. I finished it, but I didn’t understand. Now I understand watching you, but I had no clue when I was doing it.
Interesting how sometimes Chris is very observant of what letters remain in corners / tight places. But today he tried a bunch of words around SEAT not realizing he's letting "FD" remain left to it. I don't know words that either start or end with FD.
The completions in me was sad you didn’t actually select the last letter in BREAK to finish the puzzle. Hopefully you did it off camera.
As soon as I read the theme I started looking for x or y phrases and solved this one pretty much immediately. Very easy one today.
Done it. Just now understood what was going on
I thought about how hard this one would be for a novice player. I did what you did in finding random words....and I was surprised when one was successful. My first two were actually paired, and that made solving it much easier.
