I do the daily wordle, but lately have been liking the murdle and the hexcodle.

I've tried worldle, but I'm crap at geography. Probably a reason I should play more, but thems be the breaks.

Any recommendations?

I feel like I’m missing something with Connections. Like, the conceit of the game is that there are multiple potentially valid groupings and you have to figure out the right ones. But I always feel cheated when I guess seemingly valid but incorrect groups. As if I’ve lost a “guess what I’m thinking” game, not a real puzzle.

Or am I just really bad at this game?

You know, there have been a few times I've thought that, but you need to think of the 16 word puzzle as a WHOLE. Even if your group DID work, would the other three groups still make sense?

They commonly use similar words in different groups to throw you off the right track. So, it's not "guess what I'm thinking" it's more, they already know what you're thinking, and what other ways can we group these things?
