Yeah, 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.

lol It actually is that impressive that you should.

Wow I didn't know that how that worked.

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.
