Strands was very easy for me today since I've spent a good chunk of my career in magazines. But I imagine it would be hard for most young people who've probably never subscribed to one.

OK, enough with the partial word categories, Connections. What's next, words that start with the same letter as a planet (eat, mope, mine, spot)?

I'm a genius! I beat the bot by two, and the bot bowed in awe of my talent.

Just kidding, of course. The vengeful bot rated me high on luck, that's understandable, but it gave me 66/99 on skill. (Definition: Did you minimize the expected number of turns it would take to solve the puzzle?) I would say the fact that I was also lucky does not negate the existence of skill.
