Based on the stats, today's Conlextions is unexpectedly one of the hardest of my puzzles ever! 🙃

If this video doesn't convince you to give Cryptograms by Lex.Games a try, then... Well, then that's a bummer.

Now down 57 pounds since November. Nearly done.

Thought I never thought I’d think:

“Wow, I’m so excited to start the metabolic reversal.”

“Hey, I have a six pack.”

Bonkers, truly.

Now that I’ve published hundreds of puzzles, I have a much better sense of which ones are tricky and which ones aren’t. But today’s Conlextions is definitely harder than I thought it was.

I play everyday. The puzzles are fun and challenging without being frustratingly difficult. Also there's a nice mix of puzzles. While you can play most for free, I highly recommend the annual subscription at only $20 to get full access. Well worth the 6¢/day.
You don't have to have a ton of pop culture knowledge to solve Conlextions #703, but a little helps.
