Speaker 1 (00:00):
Did you know that the I don't know if it's
the entire New York Times, but like a bunch of
people at the New York Times. I think maybe they're
like their tech department or something went on strike.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
On strike.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Yes, Now, what I didn't realize.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I'm assuming the strike is they have some kind of
disagreement with management. That's about is usually into what's going
on there that I got. But the kind of the
side piece that I got from that is like all
the people that do wordle and share their Wordle scores, Like,
aren't there people who are like years, I don't how long.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Has word been around? Has it been years? A couple
of years?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, but aren't there people who do it like religiously
every single day.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah. The streak is a big part of it.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Yeah, so they have a streak or like there's they
and they share it with the family, like all kinds
of stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Oh, there's six hundred engineers, data managers, designers, software developers
and tech personnel who are on strike, right.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
And I guess part of those six hundred are the
people that do wordle connections and whatever the other games
are that the New York Times hosts.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
The Times Tech Guild is the name of the union
that does the games, that does all of this stuff.
Oh okay, but that's who's on strike.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
And again their strike is really they're at odds with management.
So you know what, they created strike themed versions of Wordle,
Connections and then a couple of the other games.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Oh, because they don't want you playing. So they're still right,
they don't want you to.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
So what they said is we don't want you to
cross the tech picket line.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
The scabs are running them exactly.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Yeah, yeah, so they've got they so they've got They
were like, oh no, the good ones are gone, bring
Shoehorn in and let him create Wordle. But they don't
want you to do that for some scab operated Wordle
or scab operated Connections.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
And people have these streaks going.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah and don't want to miss.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
It, right, so what do I do?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So that's why they created strike versions of word and Connections.
Now I don't know if they're different or how different
they are. Like when I hear strike themed, I'm like, okay, well,
I don't picket the Well I don't think if with
the strike goes on for six months, how many pickets.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Oh, I understand, like that's well, maybe they'll they'll do
it until they can't think of those types of terms anymore.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
And I believe they're free.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Oh to entice you to not go across the picket line.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
All right, Diane, you ready? You want to do connections first?
If only we had a beta tester in residence.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
Okay, so I have to do you want to do
connections the strike edition.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Or the Connections the one that we've been doing most recently, or.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
Do you want yes, yes, or do you want to
do strikele, which is a twist on wordle connections connections.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
And then we'll do strike I think of it as
good as bad news, Like which one are you better with?
And do you want to kick off? Or do you
just want to flip a coin this test with strikele?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
You want to strike no?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
No, no, no no no no no no no connections?
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Which one are you better at?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I'm worse at strikele?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
So you want to end on a bad note.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
I'm not particularly great.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Okay, says the woman who just got a strike on
one throat.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I have used up all of my athletic luck for
a lifetime.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Okay, just so you know, I don't want to tell
you how to do strikele or connections. This will take
no athletic ability. I'm athletic luck. There are bedridden people
who do this. Luck does take luck. Diane, here's your brain. Okay,
you've got a good thick brain on you.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
So you're going with the strike edition of connections? First?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yes, all right, here.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
We go, Here we go? And okay, do you remember
how whoa? This doesn't look the same.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Oh bread, roast pie, spice?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Oh god, one away now now remember you do get
a limited number of tries.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
All right, Okay, we'll go in a different directions. Okay, zoom,
call email and.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Slack. Very good, Diane, waste to communicate while working strike,
Very good? Alright?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Why am I clapping?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Guess we'll have one more try? Right?
Speaker 4 (05:40):

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Don't you get three?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Okay? Oh? I got it?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Roast?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Oh wait, no, Diane has it?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Todas, fry crisp, boil.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Cooking methods, bread spice, pie patch.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
What are all those things? Come on? Come on, no,
what are they all have in common? Crust?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Don't you say crust?
Speaker 4 (06:07):
That's not it.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
That's not it, because what is the patch crust?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Well?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I know I'm choosing those four because that's the four left.
I don't have to give you a thing, but.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Tell me what it is. You should be able to figure.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
That out when we play at home. We don't just
default to the four remaining. We do have to name
the category.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
No, come on, Diane, I got the other three to
narrow it down to those four that are correct, right,
and you know what that is for.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Gimme, what do these four bread spice pie patch having common?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Diane?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Pumpkins?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah, that's a girl tang pumpkin Blanke. Yes, Diane, excellent word.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Remember Diane, as the beta tester, is just making sure
that the technology works.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
And I did request somebody to scream at me over
my shoulder while I was trying to bait a tested for.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Okay, number one, I'm not over your shoulder. Number two,
I'm not screaming. I'm away from the microphone.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Okay, you were screaming.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well, yes, but I want people to be able to
hear me.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I am not good at strikel the you don't.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
This room.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I never played it.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
This is strikele.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Maybe you'll have a better luck across the picut line.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Sell this puzzle and stand with striking New York Times workers.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Okay, I like it.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I barely remember how to play this, but.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I like what you did there. You're reading all of
it to make sure that just the interface looks good
for those that will one day get to play this
as well.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Okay, let me donate.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Okay, right, Diane, five letter word, go Bacon.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I just had some.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It is worth pointing out it does seem like she's
thrown away her strategy of making it related to the strike.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Bacon whoa, oh, Diane, so help me through this.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
So, Diane, you have three letters. Yes, the B is
somewhere in the answer the A, the A and the
O are.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Correct in the correct spot.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Right, So the B goes somewhere. So okay, no, please, Diane,
I hear you. I don't know what breathing thing you
were doing.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
There, I said A.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Right, okay, So you know the B either goes here
or here, so it's either.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Abbo or ab. But the B doesn't go here here
or here. There's only two other places where the B
can go.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
And remember, and the A and the O go here.
If you're not sure, you can put in another word
to try to just get more letters.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
But you would want them to have an A.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
No, no, no, you don't have to do that.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Why would I want other letters?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Because I know that they're going there any where those
go ultimately, right.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
But if I know and A is there and NO
is there, why wouldn't I do like falcon well, because
they're not in the same.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Place and it's six letters? Okay, Alcin, why won't it
let me type the N.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Diane is looking at this like a life.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yeah, it does. I ain't there the livelihoods of the
striking workers are depending on you, Diane, how many you
want to donate? Again? They probably helped you out when
SAG was on strike, Okay, but they didn't. Well, we
weren't on strike. It was just the SAG part, not
the part.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I'm drawing a blank. This is where I would I
would click the X.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
You want the letter X?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
No, no, click the X two X out of the puzzle.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Then just go for more letters. Pick another word. They
can get us more letters.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Look around the room, donut We already.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Know about the O and the N.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I know, but she's not doing that.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Now you're squinting. Is something wrong with the tech?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Now? I just can't think radar?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Radar, Diane, you're going with two dolls.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
No. I'm trying to think of words with like common
letters like but I can't think of anything that's five
letters that strike related, like bacon was. It's the first
thing that came to my mind. Maybe because I'm smelling bacon.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Right, but that but it's strike related.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
This is why I don't play these games, because I
get bullied into a corner, bullied in a strike.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
How about farts?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Come on, Diane, Oh Jesus Christ Norse, an O R S.
At least it might get me an N. There is
no See, that's why I'm not good at these games.
I'm not good at these games. People have been playing
(11:11):
this game for three years, you know I've been playing
it today.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
That's not true.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
It's okay. When when when Wortle first.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Came out the world we're playing strikes. Those people are
on strike, those scabs. So can I ask how you
came up in Norse?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I was just trying to think of a word with
N when I wasn't noticing that there's already an Then
well I'm thinking you know what, I'm thinking like wheel
because they always give you the whole R S T
N L E.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah, I don't watch it anymore because of Seacrest. So
am I putting wheel in? No? No, no, those are
actually letters we don't know about yet.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
That is true. But that's also wheel is also six letters. No,
it's not w h Oh, you're right.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Because now I'm trying to think of strikeish words and
I'm thinking of you. I don't want your union union
because there's already the N, and I know that an
N is not there?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Right? What else do you do on strike.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Okay, pick, it won't fit. No, uh, okay, the C
is not there, so I can't do a chance. There's
no C, so I don't need to do chant.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
How is this taking longer than the first time we
ever played with?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I told you I'm not good at this one?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Right?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
What about what?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Well?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Okay, I almost said, guessed wheel?
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Oh my god, Diane, a five letter word that doesn't
have a C or an N taker as an under yes, okay,
oh my god.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Okay, So you know the A is that second letter,
but you have also found out that the last letter
of the correct answer is R.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Okay, so A? Oh are so by the way, if
you don't get it here.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Oh you know it?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Yes, I have no Ideam going to walk around the
counter and spank you.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
But it would take him for a long time so
you could get away.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
I have Daniel's gonna drive me a.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I'm faster than you're with your mobility issues.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Okay, So you know this is an A, right? Okay?
You know this is an O and R. You know
that's an R.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
You know there's a B, but it can't go here,
which means it has to go where.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I got it here a, I got it. B oh
R labor.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Had you not walked me through it, I.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Would have never No, we'd still be here.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
That's right. The word was labor. Withholding labor is the
strongest negotiating tool workers have. Thank you for supporting the
NYT workers withholding their labor resolutely.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I know four hundred iHeart employees that withheld their labor
and they were just fired.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
All right, So are those games good to publish? Diane?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Nice approval from beta tester Diane. All right, in solidarity,
we'll play again tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I love this
Did you know that the I don't know if it's

what are they all have in common? Crust?
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Don't you say crust?
Speaker 4 (06:07):
That's not it.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
That's not it, because what is the patch crust?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Well?
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I know I'm choosing those four because that's the four left.
I don't have to give you a thing, but.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Tell me what it is. You should be able to figure.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
That out when we play at home. We don't just
default to the four remaining. We do have to name
the category.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
No, come on, Diane, I got the other three to
narrow it down to those four that are correct, right,
and you know what that is for.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Gimme, what do these four bread spice pie patch having common?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Diane?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Pumpkins?
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah, that's a girl tang pumpkin Blanke. Yes, Diane, excellent word.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Remember Diane, as the beta tester, is just making sure
that the technology works.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
And I did request somebody to scream at me over
my shoulder while I was trying to bait a tested for.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Okay, number one, I'm not over your shoulder. Number two,
I'm not screaming. I'm away from the microphone.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Okay, you were screaming.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Well, yes, but I want people to be able to
hear me.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
I am not good at strikel the you don't.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
This room.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I never played it.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
This is strikele.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Maybe you'll have a better luck across the picut line.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Sell this puzzle and stand with striking New York Times workers.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Okay, I like it.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I barely remember how to play this, but.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I like what you did there. You're reading all of
it to make sure that just the interface looks good
for those that will one day get to play this
as well.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Okay, let me donate.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Okay, right, Diane, five letter word, go Bacon.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I just had some.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
It is worth pointing out it does seem like she's
thrown away her strategy of making it related to the strike.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Bacon whoa, oh, Diane, so help me through this.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
So, Diane, you have three letters. Yes, the B is
somewhere in the answer the A, the A and the
O are.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Correct in the correct spot.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Right, So the B goes somewhere. So okay, no, please, Diane,
I hear you. I don't know what breathing thing you
were doing.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
There, I said A.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Right, okay, So you know the B either goes here
or here, so it's either.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Abbo or ab. But the B doesn't go here here
or here. There's only two other places where the B
can go.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
And remember, and the A and the O go here.
If you're not sure, you can put in another word
to try to just get more letters.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
But you would want them to have an A.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
No, no, no, you don't have to do that.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Why would I want other letters?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Because I know that they're going there any where those
go ultimately, right.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
But if I know and A is there and NO
is there, why wouldn't I do like falcon well, because
they're not in the same.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Place and it's six letters? Okay, Alcin, why won't it
let me type the N.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Diane is looking at this like a life.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Yeah, it does. I ain't there the livelihoods of the
striking workers are depending on you, Diane, how many you
want to donate? Again? They probably helped you out when
SAG was on strike, Okay, but they didn't. Well, we
weren't on strike. It was just the SAG part, not
the part.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
I'm drawing a blank. This is where I would I
would click the X.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
You want the letter X?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
No, no, click the X two X out of the puzzle.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Then just go for more letters. Pick another word. They
can get us more letters.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Look around the room, donut We already.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Know about the O and the N.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
I know, but she's not doing that.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Now you're squinting. Is something wrong with the tech?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Now? I just can't think radar?
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Radar, Diane, you're going with two dolls.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
No. I'm trying to think of words with like common
letters like but I can't think of anything that's five
letters that strike related, like bacon was. It's the first
thing that came to my mind. Maybe because I'm smelling bacon.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Right, but that but it's strike related.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
This is why I don't play these games, because I
get bullied into a corner, bullied in a strike.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
How about farts?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Come on, Diane, Oh Jesus Christ Norse, an O R S.
At least it might get me an N. There is
no See, that's why I'm not good at these games.
I'm not good at these games. People have been playing
(11:11):
this game for three years, you know I've been playing
it today.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
That's not true.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
It's okay. When when when Wortle first.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Came out the world we're playing strikes. Those people are
on strike, those scabs. So can I ask how you
came up in Norse?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I was just trying to think of a word with
N when I wasn't noticing that there's already an Then
well I'm thinking you know what, I'm thinking like wheel
because they always give you the whole R S T
N L E.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Yeah, I don't watch it anymore because of Seacrest. So
am I putting wheel in? No? No, no, those are
actually letters we don't know about yet.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
That is true. But that's also wheel is also six letters. No,
it's not w h Oh, you're right.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Because now I'm trying to think of strikeish words and
I'm thinking of you. I don't want your union union
because there's already the N, and I know that an
N is not there?
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Right? What else do you do on strike.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Okay, pick, it won't fit. No, uh, okay, the C
is not there, so I can't do a chance. There's
no C, so I don't need to do chant.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
How is this taking longer than the first time we
ever played with?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I told you I'm not good at this one?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Right?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
What about what?
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Well?
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Okay, I almost said, guessed wheel?
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Oh my god, Diane, a five letter word that doesn't
have a C or an N taker as an under yes, okay,
oh my god.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Okay, So you know the A is that second letter,
but you have also found out that the last letter
of the correct answer is R.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Okay, so A? Oh are so by the way, if
you don't get it here.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Oh you know it?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Yes, I have no Ideam going to walk around the
counter and spank you.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
But it would take him for a long time so
you could get away.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
I have Daniel's gonna drive me a.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I'm faster than you're with your mobility issues.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Okay, So you know this is an A, right? Okay?
You know this is an O and R. You know
that's an R.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
You know there's a B, but it can't go here,
which means it has to go where.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I got it here a, I got it. B oh
R labor.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Had you not walked me through it, I.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Would have never No, we'd still be here.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
That's right. The word was labor. Withholding labor is the
strongest negotiating tool workers have. Thank you for supporting the
NYT workers withholding their labor resolutely.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I know four hundred iHeart employees that withheld their labor
and they were just fired.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
All right, So are those games good to publish? Diane?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Sure?
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Nice approval from beta tester Diane. All right, in solidarity,
we'll play again tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I love this
