ESDK posted:Wait, when you said you were not ready for hintless Strands did you mean "Strands without earning hints"? Because finding non-theme words and earning hints is not a demerit or anything. Only using hints make your epeen shrink.

Looked at desktop and "finally" got first one as in saw elective but didn't bother for a while because if only it was selective. Saw chosen and thought i was home free with the spang. NOOOOOOPE. Druthers? That's a new word for me. Connections Puzzle #872 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 despite doing it "flawlessly" what a struggle had to look up other bird gangs which idk if that's cheating or not anymore.

I dont even know which loving Butler. gently caress out of here with that.
