Puzzle Games Anonymous

Since we’re all now cask aged by 20 to 30 years, this felt like a safe & appropriate space to discuss.

I’m into puzzling just now. Specifically, I’m a New York Times app subscriber. I’ve branched out from Wordle into Connections, Strands and the absolutely awesome Spelling Bee.

I’m also doing Glyph – it’s a super cool decoding puzzle. And weaver, weaver x and subtext.

But, since I can only do Monday crosswords on the New York Times, I have space for more – does anyone have any good suggestions for other online puzzles to fill my time?

If this is bad just wait for my Roblox Grow a Garden appreciation thread.

Connections is so fun. Lately I’ve been playing “Countle” which is based off the numbers round from the UK game show “Countdown.” I swear though, sometimes the target numbers they give are impossible to reach lol, I wish they had a “reveal solution” option to show that it’s actually do-able.

Worse for me, my 12 year old daughter got me back into Pokemon Go which I’m pushing hard on to get to Level 80

Hey Moray!
Andy Dunlop Does one which has multiple Wordles at the same time. I did Wordle for a while. I got it in one go once. Andy also got it in one another time. A 1/2309 chance. Andy is the person to ask about these sorts of things. I slid off Wordle after a couple of months. My newest one is called WRITE A SONG. It’s bloody tricky.

I also have a subscription to the New Yorker and enjoy their puzzles but what you want to do is to get off the screens completely.

I’ve been a jigsaw puzzler for the past 10 years. It’s much more rewarding doing things in real time and it shuts off all the noise.

You can grab a puzzle board (allows you to stick it behind the couch or under it) for as little as £15. It’s also super important to have puzzles that are relatable to your interests. So I have about five Alice in Wonderland, some Game of Thrones puzzles etc. I was actually gifted a Travis puzzle which I think was related to L.A times but I’ve never done it because the image was way to dull. However you engage with your puzzle hobby I hope you have fun!

Once you get it in one on Wordle you tap out. Every so often I’ll give it a whirl.

Wordle is a great one. I’ve also got it in one try once! My favorite is Connections. If you’re a sports fan, there is a Sports Connections which is tricky but fun!
