Glad I'm not the only one. It's hard isn't it but I haven't given up yet.

No you're not, Mort.    I can't do it either.   :girl_sad:

Practice will, er, do something.  Mind you, we have that connections type quiz introduced by Victoria Coren Mitchell on most Mondays.  I have yet to get a single question correct!!!


In today’s NY puzzle , why is Ad a tennis score?  Never heard it in my life.  Adv, yes, but not Ad.

Is it another Americanism, perhaps?
There often use American spellings on Wordle too.

Americanism - Ad = Advantage

Well that's it .... I'm not American. No wonder I can't do it.

Like I said,  its the same with American spellings in Wordle sometimes too.
It bugs me a bit,  but there again, it's an American site, so they are bound to use American language.   :)
