Not enough patience this morning to find much beyond the yellows, just did randoms to see the solve. Not the greatest word sets.

Anyone playing the new Sports Connections? I tried it this morning, but my sports knowledge is too general.

@Mark_Thompson I bow to the master player!

When I saw Dysentery, I knew I might as well throw in the towel for today! :mrgreen: :roll: :lol:

Had a little hiccup, but nothing as bad as dysentery.

I wish I was as good as my son, he’s generally done before I get the first category.
