Not a ton of similar letters which I think makes the puzzle easier.

A lot of 2-star games today. There were some red herrings that must’ve thrown folks. Good job on the Stack!

Wonderful!

Luck has nothing (maybe a little) to do with it.

A streak is any puzzle completed, so a 0 star game adds to your streak the same that a 5 star does. You have a separate star tally under the streak.

I appreciate not being told when to laugh, but to laugh when I think something is funny. I’m 10 minutes into the show and I have only chuckled, but this is a genius ploy, well written and perfectly executed. All things considered, no notes.

As with all comedy, it exists within context. So far, this is solid.

Edit: now that they are huffing helium, I am genuinely laughing.

Another trick is: if there is only one of a letter on the board (like today, one X and one Y), you can go ahead and move the letter to its spot once you solve the word. You don’t have to wait to strategize a double-green swap. This can help you move faster on the puzzle.

I’m at 355 and I still haven’t created an account to save my streak.

Every streak begins with 1.

All the stars!

Should be “shonetines I git shad.”

I already liked Mark, (I just did a guilty rewatch of 13 Going on 30) but now I’m a die-hard.

“prospective”

You sly dog.

Tons of “false positives” in this one. The streak starts again!

You have to solve a few words before you start moving any pieces to try to maximize the number of double-green swaps. Any time you figure out a double-green, go ahead and do it - it will never keep you from getting the full 5 stars.

A trick is: if there is only one of a letter on the board, you can always put it in place without worrying about a double-green swap. Often times it opens up a chance for a double-green later.

Hope that helps.

The words and definitions are below once the game is over, but I don’t think they show up in the puzzle. Good luck today.

Give him the stick, give him the stick. DON’T GIVE HIM THE STICK!
