I don't usually share, so you can imagine this is how it works out every day:

I'm stuck on the last word in Strands - which means I know what all the letters are, but I can't form them into an actual word.

Is it the spangram that has you hung up or another word?

Holy swear words. Since I start with the same two words every day, I knew this day would come.

Well done, Jude! I did the opposite.

Yay Jude!
After my 2nd guess I had an idea what you're first word might be but there were still quite a few options and I don't enjoy playing whack -a-mole.

Re: Games, Riddles, Puzzles, and other Distractions
Having long-since exhausted the official supply of archived Connections, I've turned to the streets (fan-made puzzles) to get my fix. These are decidedly bad. The groupings are tenuous, or based on spelling/pronunciation*, or built around specialist knowledge, or rely on outright spelling/comprehension errors. And the authors love love love trying to trick you with red herrings and overfilled categories that have to be solved by process of elimination. But a consequence of spending so much time working through these is that I find the NYT ones very easy now.
*pronunciation is especially aggravating since it varies by region

Interesting Dave. I have other games where I've played alternatively made games, making the original easier, but connections still gets me sometimes, as it did today.
