The Wordle thread (with spoilers!)

I was pretty pissed at the April Fool Connections.

⊾	&	X	)
N	O	P	€
→	$	(	+
£	✔	R	¥

The first group of currency symbols (€, $, £, ¥) is easy. A group of symbols that can represent "and" (&, +, N, X) is also fairly doable.

My objection is to the third group: symbols that mean "right" (⊾, →, ✔, R). That is not the symbol for a right angle! (Even though Unicode calls it "Right angle with arc.") I had all the other three, but I simply could not believe that Connections would use the wrong symbol instead of ⦜.

(The last group with the parentheses and O, P are "emoticon mouths." I don't think I would have figured out that link under any circumstances. Also, I dislike groups that also include some of the other entries, so that you need to eliminate them by making the other groups first. Feels unfair. In this case, X was a pretty common emoticon mouth, and $ was a less common one.)

Using symbols instead of words is a neat idea, but I would've gotten nothing but the currencies...
