And as always someone, not always the same someone, is missing from the group photo.

To be frank, the last two nyt wordles took me 6 attempts.

Addictive isn’t it?!

I believe chickens have a code of honour that invites them to ensure no flock photo is ever complete. Sometimes they fail to follow the code, but not often.

I like sudoku too. I always play extreme level and my fastest is 2 minutes 11 seconds.

I like puzzles and I avoid games.

The code may be more expansive.
If I think of all the last minute moves, the pooping, and the photobombing that goes on, I feel the code may be to prevent any photo from being perfect.
On the POW thread you see these perfectly posed chickens with flowers or toys with baskets and wreaths set on pieces of pink muslin.
And each time I think that those can’t be real chickens. They must be taxidermy chickens!

Yup. Me too.
I do the NYT set most days. That is Spelling Bee (which is the most brain aching and I often have to come back to through the day), Wordle, and Sudoku.
Better than Sudoku though is Killer. I don’t know if it exists digitally. Probably. It is Sudoku but with no starting numbers. Instead there are little sums. So two boxes linked together with ‘3’ has to be a 2 and a 1. But which way up will only be clear by looking at other squares, and if course that is an easy one! I often fail to finish one of those and the hardest are rated at taking an hour.
I will see if there is an online version and send you a link. I think you will like it.
I sit in the chicken run and try and figure them out.
Sometimes I have a chicken in the canopy above me which can be distracting.

It's so kind of you to have provided a tower with a view for them! How good is that cheeky face peering out upon her lands and people!

I won't try Killer, RC. I just don't have that much time to spare. Thanks for thinking of me though.

Right!

I'd rather an authentic photo anyway: blurred, poopified, poorly framed, poorly lit, in the scrappy corner of the garden.

It helps the flock keep to their code.
