IMO the stands themes are shit. Usually too ambiguous.

I piled so many words into the hint bank that I fat fingered the hint button to reveal a word… but otherwise a decent run.

Makes sense and the only way to go if you have a clock running. Otherwise hard to adjust for using hints - 1min penalty per hint or something? Ain’t nobody got time for keeping track .

Took forever to get my last two words.

Took all of one minute for the first 4, still can't get the last two.

it took me 3 minutes to get the 1st word, then the 2nd came pretty much immediately, then i got the theme, and then i was stuck for a minute or 2. 7 minutes total from start to finish.

So much for my aging neuroplasticity. ( Good mental workout ) The theme really threw me for a loop. It's diabolical how the clue can lock you into a mindset of search and recognition. I thought I had it locked in but it was all over the board from fruits to color to animals and warnings. The way one can connect letters make it difficult for me to pull words out of the pattern. I like this game more than Wordle.

i got my first word, then i thought it was all about red or pink wines. i was looking for merlot, rose, bordeaux, pinot, didn't see any of that.

Agreed

Definitely the easiest out of the four times I've played. Ugh! I would have gotten the spanogram as the first word but I just missed the y. I first did photograph and couldn't believe it came up as a hint followed by photo with the same result. It started me second guessing what I thought the theme was.

As soon as I saw that it was Picture this I thought if there is a PH beside each other look for photo. Then I saw it went all the way to photography.

After that it was dead simple.

This is the first one I didn't need to use a hint on. Do they usually make the spanogram more obtuse than the other words? All the other words were measurements of time. I saw time, timer but I had to get almost all the other words solved before I could put together timepieces.

The spanagram was stupid

That was a shit show.. I'm getting better at finding words in the atypical patterns but these bastards and how they screw with my mind in the words for the theme..... atiStrands #37
