Wordle 1,655 3/6

Connections - solved with one mistake, backed into purple.

Strands - solved with no hints but did have to look up some of the possible answers online.  To add, many didn't qualify as Top 20 per Billboard rankings.  Not a fair game today.

Pips #135 Easy
0:29
Pips #135 Medium - Getting butchered on Mediums this week.  Just when I thought I couldn't do worse. 
16:04
Pips #135 Hard
14:15 - Not good either but it beats Medium today.  I don't know if I am having a bad week or Pips stepped up its difficulty levels. Time will tell.

Wordle 1,656 3/6

-- Can't comment on streaks because I have broken them when I miss just one day or eliminate cookies (before I registered).  My current record since registering, 683 games ago, is a 98.98% solve rate.  For games solved, average guesses are 4.06. Don't know how to break out 2025 like Charles (ability may come with a paid subscription which I don't have), but I did have one game this year when I got the word on the first guess.
