Connections! (and other wordle type games)

I'm sad this morning. The mini-crossword was my favorite NYT game; I looked forward to playing it every day. And it was always free, but now suddenly I have to buy a subscription

This one just came together pretty easily.

The cryptic was one where I needed one specific clue but I didn't realize which one until it was too late, so I took 3 of them and knew two of them in advance.

I did do connections earlier too, but forgot to come post. Surprisingly easy one even if my colors weren't properly ordered.

This one was relatively easy, but I quite liked the wordplay

My time probably would've been 5 second faster if it didnt tell me I was out of bounds like 3 times.

Do you lose for hints or missed guesses? I typo’s and didn’t realize for two guesses

I thought it was just for hints, but I could be wrong.

Yeah I think it's for hints or having it give you letters.

Makes sense, I also used 2 hints
