Anyone else still play daily?
I don’t go to bed until I’ve played the Mini, Wordle and Connections. It helps me settle my mind to focus on those puzzles from everything else in my day. I got today’s mini in 1:21 today. Just waiting for Wordle and Connections to drop now… |

| I do the main crossword first thing in the day (or since I’m up late, now). I do the Connections when I get home from work. I do the Spelling Bee randomly when I feel like it. |

| Anyone else feel like connections was really difficult when it first came out, then seemed to get really easy, and now seems a bit harder again? |

| I do them all first thing in the morning. Can’t really start my day until I get Queen Bee. |

| My tweens and teens do. The games have probably done more to improve their vocabulary than any other single intervention. Thanks nyt. |

Tiles is dumb and mindless -- I like doing it while listening to audiobooks because I can concentrate better on listening if I'm doing something mindless with my hands. |

You don't do spelling bee OP?!
My order is Wordle, mini, connections, and then, lastly, spelling bee. Spelling bee is last because I might go back to it throughout the day to find more words. I'm impressed by those who have gotten queen bee. I have never gotten that. My sister gets it regularly, I am frequently genius level, but alas never queen bee I also do the crossword puzzle, but that's not a daily puzzle for me, |

I do the mini before I have my coffee, and the daily crossword with my coffee. At this point I’m pretty good so I can breeze through Monday through Thursday before I have to leave to take the kid to school. Friday I can sometimes finish and sometimes have to come back to. Saturday and Sunday I Airplay onto the TV and work on them with my spouse. It’s one of my favorite parts of the weekend.
Connections I knock off sometime during the day. I’ve gotten bored with both Wordle and Spelling Bee. Sometimes I do sudoku, but I’m not very good at anything above easy! |

| I've incorporated puzzles into my evening routine w/my middle school kids - we do the mini, connections, and spelling bee together most nights. |
