Strands #16
"That's fortunate"



First time playing. Didn't need the hints, but was getting used to the mechanics.

@shortkut https://www.nytimes.com/games/strands - Find words that all fit a theme and the word(s) that is the theme.

Connections sucked today.

You shouldn't have words that fit perfectly in 2 separate categories.

Having a "fake" category that only 2-3 words fit into is one thing.

Saying "that's technically correct but it's not the answer WE want" is shit game design.
