NY Times online/app games

Any NY Times subscribers here who plays Spelling Bee, Wordle, Connections, or The Mini regularly? If so, I wouldn't mind using this topic to discuss any of the above. Spelling Bee has an official forum, but lately it's been overrun with spammers and trolls. I'd only ask that you observe 2 guidelines: no spoilers, and no kvetching about the inclusion or exclusion of words from the Spelling Bee, since I'm starting this topic as a means of escaping the kvetching.

Good to see you back, John.

Thanks Ravi, and good seeing you likewise.

@John

No kvetching? Not sure that's genetically possible, but I'll give it a go.

I seem to have a weird facility with Connections--although sideways thinking is not always a boon in all endeavours. But I have to admit, there are days when I just stare at a puzzle and wonder what the heck the puzzlemaker was thinking.
