A streak is any puzzle completed, so a 0 star game adds to your streak the same that a 5 star does. You have a separate star tally under the streak.
“Bow to your king!”
Another trick is: if there is only one of a letter on the board (like today, one X and one Y), you can go ahead and move the letter to its spot once you solve the word. You don’t have to wait to strategize a double-green swap. This can help you move faster on the puzzle.
I’m at 355 and I still haven’t created an account to save my streak.
All the stars!
Tons of “false positives” in this one. The streak starts again!
You have to solve a few words before you start moving any pieces to try to maximize the number of double-green swaps. Any time you figure out a double-green, go ahead and do it - it will never keep you from getting the full 5 stars.
A trick is: if there is only one of a letter on the board, you can always put it in place without worrying about a double-green swap. Often times it opens up a chance for a double-green later.
Hope that helps.
The words and definitions are below once the game is over, but I don’t think they show up in the puzzle. Good luck today.
Give him the stick, give him the stick. DON’T GIVE HIM THE STICK!

Go all in!
Yes, I usually solve at least four words before I start moving pieces and try to get as many double swaps as possible.

Good job! Have fun.

31·4 months agoHis argument is: 16 hours daily use is not addiction IF THAT IS THE ONLY FACTOR. He repeats it again and again. But that argument is stupid, because it ignores the other well-known and proven variables of addiction. Does this behavior have serious effects on your mental and physical health? Does it interrupt your work and play? Do you have an obsessive need to do it? The list goes on.
Who put this genius in front of a microphone?
I didn’t even know that was a possibility. That’s cool.
You don’t have to play daily to keep up the streak, you just have to get 0 stars or more (complete the puzzle). If you take a week off and come back and don’t lose, you continue the streak.
I don’t know how going back to old puzzles changes the streak.
Luck has nothing (maybe a little) to do with it.
