NYT Flashbacks Game

I tried this game after someone mentioned it in the Connections thread . It is a fun game for history buffs and only once a week.

I agree I thought it was later that it was but decided to go earlier.

Just played but can’t figure out how to post my results - got them all correct until the last one, the answer for which really surprised me.

Nice work on the perfect score!

There is a share feature, kind of like on the Wordle or Connections that will allow you to copy and paste the results.

It wasn’t perfect … got the very last one wrong.

For the second week in a row I’ve gotten 7 out of 7 right … And then missed the last one

 

[rshell68]

I always cringe when I hit the submit button LOL even when I'm pretty sure I have it in the correct place

I got the same thing. I kept refreshing multiple times and then it finally let me play.
