Solved Connections with no mistakes... 2 days in a row, a first for me.  Last one was by process of elimination.

Solved Stands with no hints. A little trickier than usual.

Busted Connections after 2 right.

Solved Connections with no hints but very difficult... Got first word after a lot of searching and it lead to understanding the theme.  Got most words from there but I did have to finally look it up to find at least one near-last word that went with it.  Very specialized!

Wordle 1,288 4/6

Connections - 1 error before solving. According to the ConnectionsBot today was an exceptionally hard puzzle, more than half did not solve it.

Strands - very difficult for me, two hints and looking up words in that area before solving

Connections - no errors, and Purple was left-overs for me, too. The ConnectionsBot says this was an easy one, with more than half solving it, and only 10% failing

Strands - no hints

WOW! My starter word is the word of the day!  So I got a ONE!  Never again unless I change to a new starter word.  Great way to end up 2024  .

Got 2 right on Connections before busting.  One word away from solving.

Sovled Strands with no hints but had to check myself on some possible appropriate terms on Google once I got the theme strand and another key word as there were endless words associated with the theme.

Wordle 1,290 3/6

Got Connections after one error - the ConnectionsBot (at least at this early hour) says this is a tough one, with nearly half failing

Got the theme word ("Spangram") first, which led me to the right area, and it moved pretty quickly after that

Solved Connections with no mistakes.

Solved Strands but it was a long time before I stumbled on the first word that clued me into what the theme was.  Was on the edge of taking a hint but held out  .

Charles, looking good there.

I can only go back 327 games since I lost history before that when I removed cookies (before I signed up for NYTG). Here is my score card which is nearly the same as yours so I assume we are typical of the total Wordle game universe  :
