i stopped playing wordle and connections and strands a while ago. i guess i became too busy and lost the habit. but then when i realized i wanted to rekindle my gaming habit, i’d recently heard Chris Coyier and Dave Rupert talking about a game called Clues by Sam on ShopTalk Show, so i tried it out, and it absolutely fantastic. just pure logic puzzles presented in a fun way, like healthy crack for my programmer brain. heads up that games progress from easy to harder as the week progresses: https://cluesbysam.com

i never made that connection! funny because i also got back into minesweeper for a couple weeks earlier in the year. the game mechanics are way richer, but fundamentally, yeah, it is like minesweeper.

I feel like I'm relying on luck/guessing in a few places rather than actual logic, haha
