Just a little rant about the connections. I hate how Americanised it is so regularly. I understand that NYT is an American institution, but they have a global audience and theres no need for all the answers to be so American nobody else could be expected to know it. I mean for fucks sake todays one I have no idea that a > ! grinder < ! is a type of sandwhich. In my mind its just a gay dating app or something you grind stuff with. Just wish theyd use non american themes.

If you have the last move is it up to you to rematch?

I know either player can rematch. But for example if someone else has the last move and doeant rematch should i take that as a hint they dont wanna play again? or am I reading too much into it lol

I've been playing someone who is really good and has beat me several times. I've been crushing him this game. Two bingos and 100+ point lead on him most of the game.

Now in the last 6-7 turns of the game, he has drawn the q, x, z, and j, as well as one of the blanks, playing ZA and QI on triple letter scores, and my lead is erased.

Meanwhile I've had nothing but one point letters for several moves.

I know thats just how the tiles fall but I have no one else to complain to about this injustice!

Gonna try my darndest to pull this one out... May the bot's luck calculation vindicate my suffering!

EDIT: He got another 40 points with JEANS, but I beat him by 3 points in the end!

I made a daily puzzle game called Kernel. You get up to five clues and only one guess to figure out the theme that unites the clues. My goal with it was to make something genuinely difficult, the kind of game that’s only solved occasionally and where most people score 0 on a given day. 

If you want to check it out, it’s here: Kernel.fit

You can also play past games in the History tab if you want to get a feel for previous themes.
