Wordle, Connections, Mini Crossword & Strands - September 7

Wordle what's up word nerds my name is Kenny hope you're all feeling good today it is Saturday September 7th in this video I'll be playing World Connections the mini crossw word and strands all back to back let's go ahead and get started as always leave a comment let me know how you did at any of these games and uh leave a like on the video i' really appreciate it so all right today in Wordle my starting guest which is randomly selected every single day today it is bugle let's go ahead and put this in see what it gets me bugle gets me just an e okay I don't know why the word perch came to mind first so I'll put that in okay uh the E is not second the E is not fifth let's put the r second put the e3d and figure it out from there Trend let's go Trend that is not correct and that's not where any of those letters go oh a little tough today with the the greens um so it could start with E right it could be like e n something and I'm going to just assume the EOS Pro you know what no this probably ends in e oh no this actually oh wait a minute I could lose my streak today hold on my streak is at 165 and I was like so so excited to get back up to 196 but this might be it this might be it uh I'm just going to say that I can already see what's going to happen here so so this could be something like most likely something o n e r actually no hold on this is definitely something that ends in ER 100% And The End probably goes third I mean I don't know if there is a word here with an O actually like toner is like the only thing but I've already used the T so you know what it's probably not an O okay could the N Go first n something something e r well yeah yeah um nameer I doubt that's it ner okay I don't think the end goes first so I think that so here's what I here's what we got we have an A and an I right so it could be a n e r it could be finer like this um but so is there any other I iners minor finer minor and finer n ER is that it I guess Niner um so I think I'm going to try the I first that's probably what the the letter is it it could be an a though okay I just don't want to lose my streak so I'm like taking my time here guys normally I would just like go really quickly through this and just put in my first thought but but the the the ones that end in ER that have like a vowel in the second position are like okay serer I don't know if wayer M uh okay I think it's going to be finer Miner or Niner and if it's not any of those three I might just lose today so let's go with finer first oh okay no I okay serer is it just serer no what am I missing what am I missing here um uh inner there's no inner oh that would have been dangerous but um so okay the things that are left okay so it could have an e in the first position but I don't think that that's a possibility can we just eliminate the e in the first position right now um just just to just so I can Overlook that I I don't think that there's any that makes sense with the E first okay so I can eliminate that so so the O there could be an O first or it's not going to be uner um but the O could go first I don't see the problem here here's this if I put the O like here monor monor nun nanor is nanor a thing okay let's let's work this out w o n e r i don't think it's a q the W is roner a thing one wer Warner I don't think that's the thing yoner joner joner coner Connor zoner zoner zoner seems like it's a legit word but is that a real like is that the best one though hold on oh my gosh I can't believe we're in this situation this has gotten worse oh my God okay uh okay the O could go first so let's put the O first it might not be an O I mean like I don't know what else it would be a y n n that might be it o owner oh oh yeah the O goes for owner owner owner okay okay we saved it we saved it there we go oh my gosh okay okay I saw that one I'm like this is clearly the best word out of all these I okay thank you my streak is alive we're at 166 196 30 days away from hitting my Max streak I want to get to 200 and once we get to 200 I do not care if I lose my streak I just want to get a 200 streak going um so we we're 30 days away from that uh if it happens I mean I could lose like like you saw how close this one was I I could lose okay this is a all right I I don't even care what happens to the rest of the the the games I could lose all these other games and I'm just happy to I'm happy to not lose it's crazy I've never been happier to get a six that's not true i' I've played a lot of games where I've a lot of wh solves where um it was close like that and uh was relieved to um uh was relieved to uh not lose so um we're going to go ahead and check out scle because uh I really want to see what was possible here and how close I was to like losing losing so my first guess was bugle second one was perch only narrowed down to 359 here and then we had trend and then okay so Miner would have been the best one so there's finer yeah there was inner I didn't realize inner until after I put in the first one Niner Viner moner moner was a word infer was possible at this point zoner risen was still available here Raven there's a lot of words here that were still available but I just assumed that it was the structure of ending in like NE r or something like that but it didn't have to be it could have absolutely been something like Raven so I could have been completely wrong or risen um so yeah so after I put in my next one which was finer owner serer honor is a word I didn't know honor was a word moner and zoner okay so the the word n o n e r nuner or nanor is not a thing and I thought maybe it was a thing um so there was two guesses left I went with ser and I was down to the final guest guest six and there was owner moner and zoner uh I probably would have tried zoner if I didn't come up with owner I probably would have found zoner which I just realized those those rhyme so owner and zoner okay um yeah owner Rhymes it's spelled differently but it rhymes with all those words that are like that so um okay um all right well let's go ahead and and move on now that was just I just wanted to check Squirtle there that was intense I mean I know this was a long long whle section of the video normally the whle just takes me like 2 minutes but today no we're spending time on not losing my streak so all right let's fly through the rest of this today let's just go ahead and and absolutely get through the rest of these games so here Connections we go connections uh uh working on a three-day streak although I just realized yesterday I was like what are you I've been playing this game for like a year now you're going to give me a three-day streak but I realize that your streak probably resets when you lose and I I do lose quite a bit in this game so okay Saturday September 7th here we go connections let's get started see what words we have today okay all right tank gloves scale tea coach rocks Polo crop [Music] um what is this word it looks like God diviva or Godiva I have no idea what that word is okay we got like a sports thing going here like ball and glove for like baseball like coach there's some sort of like sports thing going on types of tops tank top crop top polo shirt I don't know if any of these other words are oh a t-shirt yeah there we go didn't see that one oh that's not even right okay I thought these were like shirts okay not right a driver a te a ball these are golf things golf what another thing is golf a glove you wear a glove and golf is that right yeah okay that was pretty easy I just didn't see it immediately um now what so I'm thinking like flip-flops like shoes and I think pumps is a type of shoe but that's not the same kind of shoe uh so I don't think that's right um a filter a tank like what a fish tank put rocks in there and a pump probably fish tank features aquarium purchases okay uh there's still a yellow one here which is supposed to be the easy one oh oh oh my gosh I didn't see this flip rotate crop like pictures and scale like zooming I'm assuming am I forgetting something no okay let's do that ways to transform an image wow okay I totally did not see that um so I'm assuming these are Brands I don't know what coaches a brand of I feel like I've heard that before Polo and Mustang what are these brands of I have no idea let's just see oh their logos with horses I didn't know that I was like Mustang like the car like like these are these can't be cars either like there must be another Mustang brand okay um yeah I had no idea that last one but that's cool logos with horses I I'm not familiar with any of them I think except for Mustang so um okay yeah not bad today all right there we go we got done with connections we got it we got there uh I mean I knew three of the four categories um or I found those ones on my own I guess the last one was just kind of a a gimme you know cuz uh last four were left with um they definitely did do the whole shirt thing though right a tank top t-shirt polo shirt crop top right like that is something that did you guys fall for that let me know um uh with that being said we can move on we got uh two more games left so we'll try to get through them uh we got the mini crossword which is coming up right now the mini it is Saturday Mini Crossword so all right here we go mini crossw Saturday September 7th it is a big mini let's go

do you call nail polish layers what do you call is it just paint paint uh let's go two down mythical creature that's a national symbol of Scotland probably a is it like a unicorn I mean I just see you at the start I'm assuming unicorn so nail polish layers uh this is probably well it's plural so is this going to end in s so see something I'm assuming unicorn has to be right we could do some of the other across ones so we'll go H 12 across many top 10 Billboard songs many top 10 Billboard songs is it like the genre like pop something is it like uh many top 10 Billboard songs I don't I have no

gum has to be right right I was thinking like notepad but but there's no way it's a notepad with me at the start and then I thought about like deleting the m and the E and like maybe it's not no but g g is clearly right got gum and one makes so much sense so uh accessory for notes and doodles is it something pad something pad then what what starts with me what am I forgetting right now what am I

Top Flight just means like the best like it's just another name for like Allstar essentially are you kidding me I know what Allstar is but Top Flight Top Flight is slang for being of the highest level of achievement Excellence or Eminence so Top Flight means essentially Allstar I had no idea I had no idea what that meant obviously okay well that's okay then Spa oh M day that's what they mean and era right I think I've heard that before Taylor Swift era too many things that pop hits yeah this is the tough I don't I don't think this was an easy one today at all I think this was a very very hard one today uh at least for a casual crossword player like me I need like I enjoy crosswords but they really need to be easy like I've been I've been struggling on the easy crossword the Monday crossword on on the the big ones that I've been doing on patreon those ones have been like those are the the only ones that I have even a shot at potentially solving without hints and most of the time I don't solve them 100% without hints so I mean like it's it's really hard like I I'm not a crossb guy I'm only playing these games because it's entertaining for you guys that's it right it's probably more entertaining to watch somebody who doesn't know a lot of things try to play these games and it is watching somebody who just go oh yeah yeah yeah no I know this yeah no no Tim Waltz No No Co coats yeah you know pop hits of course it's pop hits uh Allstar yeah I know what Top Flight is right like like if you just watch somebody just kind of going through the motion like I genuinely struggle with these games a lot and uh that I only play these games because I'm trying to entertain you guys and honestly I I I'm not you know I'm even say what I was going to say I have fun playing these games guys it's fun but sometimes it is not necessarily something that I want to do every day let's just say that okay here we go Strands strands September 7th let's go and get started see what the theme is today final game here we go know your materials so this is going to be um materials of some sort know your material what kind of material are we talking about there's a there's an X here so I think that's going to go like ex or something know your material know your material kind of feels like no your like no like like knowledge about something like perhaps like this is like school and it's like knowledge about a particular subject um is the word is this like a but knowing your material material is sort of the key word here I feel like music no so it's probably like physical material types maybe I'm not totally sure sand there's two FS here so I wonder if it's like if I don't see anything H uh I might have to use hints today to get started we'll see Miner bringing me back to whle there with some flashbacks um Diner yeah I'm probably going to have to use a hint okay we're just going to use hints today on strands I'm not really up to uh mind no oh denim okay so it's material like that so oh yeah I'm not going to do good on this one I can already tell so I'm just going to go ahead satin okay yeah no we're going to go ahead and just use hints today might as well not even play but I'll just use hints just to kind of see what the answers are [Music] um like I I don't even know materials is the problem like I don't even know if I would recognize one if I saw one
