Well START was a fortuitous typo!
With G = 1, Y = ½, & B = 0, I scored 3 and 5.
I spent one minute solving this.
My streak is at 74.

I'm sorry. I should have made that remark in spoiler tags.
Also, congratulations to ams for the eagle today!

On turn 2 I thought the connection was "National League player".
Fortunately, I did not try the "Rock-and-Roll Musician" connection of BEATLE, WING, STONE, and ???

Yellow last again! That's twice in less than a week.
Today I initially had trouble finding four selections for ANY category: I kept coming up with sets of three. GOTHIC, BIRD, NANA, and DEAD were the stumbling blocks.

As to today's Connections, that is the hardest one I ever saw, by far. I couldn't even find a single group. Give me a solid F today, written with a big red marker and pass the dunce cap.
Since when does DEAD convey laughter in a text?

On turn three the eight choices were KAREN, ROSE, SHARON, MAY, DARREN, WILL, AARON, and DREW, so I selected four girls' names. Of course, these days the names DREW and DARREN may also be feminine.

Might the NYT increase the difficulty as the week goes on, as they do with their crosswords?

I don't know what to say. I've blown it in spectacular fashion the last three days with this game.
- I've played 579 times.
- If I count my the five times I whiffed (got X/6) as a "7" then my average is 3.905.
- If I just focus on the times I got it, then my average is 3.845, with a correct response frequency of 99.14%. For reference, Wordlebot scores 3.767 with a correct response frequency of 99.2%. The MIT algorithm (starting with SALET) averages 3.421 guesses. Sigh.
-
I've never scored 1/6 and I have scored 2/6 (only) 10 times.
- My current streak is 216

"Things that whistle": bird?
Stats for teliot:
I've played 558 times.
If I count the 9 times I whiffed (got X/6) as a "7" then my average is 3.932 (2194 guesses/558 games)
On successful games my average is 3.882 (2131 guesses/549 successful games), with a correct response frequency of 98.39% (549 successes/558 games).
The above stats include one 1/6: I inadvertently saw the answer here :-(
Taking that out, the averages are 3.937 overall (2193/557) and 3.887 on successful games (2130/548), with a success rate of 98.38% (548/557).
Scoring distribution:
1 hole-in-one (saw the answer here... But someday STARE will happen!)
28 eagles
158 birdies
234 pars
104 bogeys
24 double bogeys
9 whiffs
My current streak is 79. My longest streak is 130.

Very interesting! Your 'eagle' rate is impressive, I'm nowhere near that. But I think it also shows that I have a conservative strategy, because I have fewer bogeys & double bogeys.Quote: DogHand
