I don’t even recognize you anymore with all that pwnage on your face.

Is Pips getting harder?

My first couple games (hard) I did in under 2 minutes. Now 4 is the norm and sometimes it takes 6.

Could be I got lucky the first few, and found the easiest starting point first.

I think it is too. I'm not sure it will last, because it's essentially the same game every day. Not as varied as say Connections or Strands or Letterboxed.

[Mik]

I'm still doing it, though. It uses different neural pathways than the word games. Brain calisthenics.

I do too. I stopped connections. Same reason I don’t like cross words. The puzzles are too subjective and I resent racking my brain trying to figure out how one particular individual thinks.

My morning routine is now wordle, strands, pips, and squaredl. Evenings I do waffle (after 8 when it resets). In bed before sleep I do quordle and octordle, ( the classic, sequence, and extreme versions) Those are just enough to make me tired.

I still like connections although at times the obscure pop culture references escape me. I’ll have to try the others you mention.
