Kudos to you. That would be insanely difficult. There is a lot of American-based pop culture, knowledge, and slang that makes it even difficult if you are a native, English American speaker.
- macintux 9mo agoThe recent alcohol-themed Strands was brutal for me as an American. The first hint I received was utterly incomprehensible. To avoid spoilers, the word in rot13 is just as meaningful to me: Znyorp
- mexicocitinluez 9mo agolol I'll have to check it out. Thanks.
- rafabulsing 9mo agoYeah, it can be pretty difficult at times. I'm quite proud of my 75% solve rate with Connections, which I'm slowly but surely improving (though the last week or so has been a bit of a regression). I'm almost tempted to include that stat in my next CV as evidence of my grasp of the language :p I always find it interesting to take a look at the Connections Bot, which gives the puzzles a difficulty rating based on how many people solve it or fail. It's not rare that I nail one rated 5/5 difficulty, just to completely fail the next day on a 1 or 2 out of 5. The gaps in general knowledge that you can have as a non native can be pretty funny at times! The groups relating to sports team names always get me.

And again, I am insanely impressed non-native speakers can get through those games because they're difficult even if you do know the language.
