I'm not sure if I already posted the July gnome from Chuck. Here is the August one. I've seen some of the upcoming designs. Are we going to think of another series for Chuck to do in 2024? Now that he has all those cool markers - maybe we can come up with some ideas that utilize lots of colors - like mandalas.

From time to time we have shared our favorite games/puzzles that we play. We talked about Wordle when it came out. The NYTimes launched a new one (in July, maybe) and I tried it in August -- and I really like it.
You start with 16 words and you must divide them into 4 categories. It's pretty self explanatory.
If you saw MARY JANE and WEED, you might include POT and then look for another slang term for cannabis - like BUD or HERB. When you submitted those words - you would find out that you had one or two wrong. And you would try again. Maybe you would see that CROCK, SKILLET and WOK needed POT - and if you submitted that - you'd be right.
The shoe category was easy.
By then - BUD looked like something that would go with CHUM, MATE, PAL
This one was pretty easy - some of them are tricky. Sometimes the last 4 words make no sense - and I can't see the connection until I submit them. There was one that was 4 kinds of cake - CARROT, SPONGE, POUND and I do not recall the other one - but none of them made me think of cake - of course, once you see *cake* it's so obvious.
As you can see - they thought that the FRIEND category was the easiest - but - I started with cookware. I'll be curious to see if I ever get a TRICKY category first. Probably not.

Update - yes - one time I did spot the tricky category first - but I forgot to record it.
