Seems to be catching on on "Wordle" so see if a dedicated Thread will have legs
Did my first one today in 3 with one duff guess
Did one Archived one yesterday with 1 duff guess but unsure what the last 4 words were connected by
-
Played today's on Easy. I found it opens on Medium by default
Lost no lives on easy
-
I didn't know there were three levels of difficulty Wolfie, where are you seeing that?
I guess I must be on medium setting then.
Anyway I got all four today with one life lost.
-
Glad you’ve all finally seen the Connections light
-
Hi Pr
Im using the Archive at
https://www.connectionsunlimited.org/ (https://www.connectionsunlimited.org/)
It's the easiest I found as I didn't have to get rid of multiple Cookies and it's easiest to "go back" in time
Use the drop down to go back in time and then pick the oldest one and you should see it has choice of Easy Medium Hard
So pick Easy and solve it and you can then go back and choose Medium and then Hard so 3 for price of one lol
I think today's one was Medium , maybe opens by default
Hope this helps
-
Glad you’ve all finally seen the Connections light
I wasn't an instant fan but thought , is doing it better than reading the Politicos on Forum
So here I am
-
Oh and another good thing PR is you can tell that Site only to show you ones you haven't done .
-
I'm in Wolfie.
-
Good .... Look at this , categorised as Easy
https://www.connectionsunlimited.org/?gameId=1&difficulty=Easy
I agree first 2 are laughably easy but I had to reset and put them in again and again till I got 4 that matched
I'm glad they told me why lol
That left last 4 so I selected them and entered them and was glad it told me the connection
My brain is fried lol
-
Glad you’ve all finally seen the Connections light
Is it a dodgy dating site?
If yes,I'm in! :)
-
Same as you Wolfie. No idea after 2 so gave up.
-
Solved with 2 lives left.
-
Cracked it with the loss of one life
-
Cracked it with the loss of one life
Same here Pancho
-
Today . Won . Lost 1 life
-
Same here Wolfie. Good job I worked out 3 of them. No idea of the 4th.
-
Got it with no lives lost today
-
Easy today!
-
Yes Knockers. Done quickly with no errors.
-
Opened earlier and looked challenging. I must have brain fog as they look like 16 totally unconnected words
Then
Jammy guess 1 was right
Jammy guess 2 also right
Then with 8 left I "could see"
Won with all lives intact :s
-
Got it with 2 lives lost
-
Fail for thicko me.
-
Got it with just the one fail
-
Scraped in with 1 guess left!
-
Failed miserably again.
-
Failed dismally. Didn't even get one correct.
-
Me too. It'd be better if it told you how many of the four selected were right.
-
I've actually seen that on my goes but maybe it's if I play the archive
Not done today's yet
-
Failed miserably today
-
Complete opposite of yesterday. Done with no fails.
-
Well done mugnapper!
I got it with one life lost, but I must admit the third row was a lucky guess at the second attempt.
Obviously with 3 done the 4th looks after itself!
-
Got two groups easily, then failed.
-
Same here!
-
I've actually seen that on my goes but maybe it's if I play the archive
Not done today's yet
Me too. It'd be better if it told you how many of the four selected were right.
Late to party today and selected 4 but had pressed one in error and lost a life but for BB it lit up right at the top with a Black Box saying " 1 Away"
So I changed the rogue one and got the rest right
-
Missed yesterday but just done Archive 4 no losses or as Aussies would say with no logic whatsoever
No losses for 4
-
As bad as it gets lol
Lost 4 lives without a single Category solved
In fact so bad was I that when I saw the solution I noticed that on my first guess I had one of my chosen Words in each of the Categories
BB ... it didn't tell me anything at the Top so my theory is it only tells you when you are 1 out
-
Solved it today with no mistakes.
Happy as a dog in muck!
-
Failed today,but the one I got was the purple one. Maybe I'm overthinking it lol
-
I've had three goes at this now and only solved it once. Think I'll give up on it; some of the answers are very USA-centric.
-
Got it with one life lost.
Really had to think about row 3 but eventually had a 'light bulb' moment!
-
Yes agree Mike. Several times I thought what is a "glimgit" or a "roocle (I made them up) only to find they are USA words for light bulbs or Burgers
So very US led but I suppose its the same with Wordle. I try to go for the simple ones first but today as reported I was "crulled" from the start
-
Today solved losing 2 lives
For BB and others it you are 1 off it does light up at the top
I know because I went for the obvious 4 and was 1 away
I swapped a word that was "connected" and it too was 1 away as well
Then I got it so Row 1 was correct and left me to Row 2 being right
8 left seemingly unconnected. I opted for 4 of them and got outrageously lucky (think Bradford City) and they were correct
Left 4 unconnected words which I chose of course , then it tells me why I was right lol
-
Hi DW, I don't get a light at the top. I wonder if I'm on a different page?
-
Solved it again today with one mistake.
Good job the last 4 solved itself!
-
Done with one life left. My last 4, the light blue section, the one with hoop and 3 others, I could have sat there till Xmas and not got it.
Was that the one you struggled with TT??
-
Hi DW, I don't get a light at the top. I wonder if I'm on a different page?
Do you subscribe to the NYT games section Wolfie? Maybe it's an extra you get like the Wordlebot analysis?
-

Was that the one you struggled with TT??
Same as you mug. I'd have juggled with that til kingdom come and still not got it. The other 3 were easy once I'd worked out the half word one.
-

Hi Mug .... BB said it would be handy if it told you how ,any you had wrong out of 4
I said that it does notify you as I've seen it . However after that I watched and didnt see any notifications until I had another go today
I picked my 4 words and pressed enter and it lit up 1 away. I swapped one I thought was wrong and replaced it with another and got the 1 away
Then I twigged it .... It only tells you if you ARE 1 away which makes sense
-
Scraped home today with 1 guess left
Still was only vaguely rght with what connected the last 4.
-
Failed
First 2 groups easily.
One away with all 4 guesses.
Picked the wrong one.
Really tenuous links imo.
-
Done with no failures and got them in order of difficulty. Pleased with that.
-
Also done with no lives lost but I was lucky on row 3 - I got it right but for the wrong reason!
-
Solved with no mistakes.
Happy to get the purple group first.
-
Almost the opposite
Out with only Yellows solved. I got too fixated on 2 words that I thought were deffo related and blew 3 lives on that only to find I'd fallen into their trap
In desperation I put in words that might be prefixed or even suffixed by another word.
I didn't actually have a word in mind so not surprisingly Uhhhhh Uhhhhh !
-
Done with 1 wrong. Was a bit impulsive with my 1st guess. Should have studied the board before jumping in.
-
Done with 1 wrong. Was a bit impulsive with my 1st guess. Should have studied the board before jumping in.
Loon!
-
Done with no loss of lives today.
I found the first 3 quite easy but didn't see the connection for line 4, but of course that didn't matter!
-
Done with two lives lost
Green
Blue
Yellow
Purple
-
Another 1 .... Just the Light blues but even they cost me 2
Blew other 2 and looking at solutions I thought wow that's back to Americanism in 2 of the Rows but I should have got the Purples and disappointed there
-
Unbelievable .... but true
I just called Archive and selected Hard and solved it all in 1 minute 21 seconds with no lives lost
Does it work "back to front" . It was so easy it had Emu Ostrich Penguin and Kiwi . Even I couldn't miss that
-
I lost 2 lives before getting Purple, then lost the rest without a clue. Put it this way, the connections are so vague that I'd struggle to complete it even having seen the answers!
-
Done with one guess left, but group 3 (the green clues for me) was a guess for the 4th connection, so group 4 (the purple clues for me) was a gimmee.
Not proud of that but a wins a win.
-
Well done Mug.
Failed with two groups solved.
One group really obscure!
-
Clean sweep today. No lives lost and solved illogically
Green
Blue
Yellow easiest ?
Purple but had no idea of why till I saw answer .... But even then ?
-
Same here Wolfie.
Quite easy today I thought.
Got the purple group second.
-
Dismal today.
1 group solved (green) then failure.
Did have a few beers last night, so I'll blame that.
-
Out after 1 Row
Wasted 3 goes to get (Light Blue) row right
After that I spotted a beauty but unfortunately only 3 were right but I think my 4th suited the connection perfectly
Oh well .... Lost
-
Unlucky Wolfie.
Solved it quickly with no mistakes.
-
Lost all my lives trying to get the yellow clues within a minute.
Abject fail.
New strategy needed. (Or at least come up with a strategy).
Starting to dislike this game lol.
-
Me too
Either win without losing life , or get nothing right and lose all 4 lives OR like today ....
Lose life but get Yellows at second attempt
Get Green Row
Then have 8 random words and three lives
I tried 4 ... 2 lives left
I tried swapping 2 of the 4 1 life left
Picked a random 4 to "get it over with" and BING got the Purple Group
Saw the reason and agreed with 1 word , and never heard of the other 3
That left the Blues so I hit them up and was tentatively in agreement . Highly USA centric though
-
Solved two rows without loss, then used up all my lives without further success.
Very spurious 'themes' in my humble opinion!
I'm going off it too.
-
Same here Pancho.
2 solved easily.
Then stumped. Lost all 4 lives with random guesses.
-
Same here. Yellow and green groups done in 30 seconds.
Then 5 minutes looking and failing on the last 2.
-
Do people watch for the 1 away dialogue box popping up at the top
You have to be 2 away of course , but it helps as you can choose 2 to keep ?
-
Wolfie, the 'one away' thing means you've lost a life, not that your guess is one away.
-
Wolfie, the 'one away' thing means you've lost a life, not that your guess is one away.
Think you might be wrong there Mug.
It only comes up if you've got 3 guesses right. Nothing appears otherwise and you still lose a life.
What do you reckon Wolfie?
-
One away means you’re one away from getting it right.
-
Hmm. I'll try check it out tomorrow but I'll probably have forgotten by then.
-
Googled it. You are correct Wolfie, I was incorrect for which I humbly apologise.
It'll make it a bit easier knowing that!
-
Jesus. Failure again. Got the greens immediately, then lost all my lives, despite guessing what 2 of the other groups connection was.
Dimwit.
-
Lost
Took a life to get First 2 Rows
Then next 3 to not get the rest
I was one away 3 times with the light blues
Even when I saw the Purple I only knew of one of them as related to the answer
-
Lost
Took 3 lives to get 2 groups.
Spent half an hour trying to work out the other two and failed.
-
Well I keep saying I'm going to come up with a strategy but someone's done it for me.
https://puzzleaday.wordpress.com/2023/06/28/tips-and-tricks-for-the-nyt-connections-puzzle/
-
Well this has got me stumped today. Can't see any connections.
Tried what looked like an obvious one and didn't have 3 right.
Lost two lives and given up. Will have another look later.
Edit.. Just got the purple group. Now the other 3.
-
It's a ridiculous game. It's not like when you lose and are given the answers, you say "How did I not get that?" It's more like "Eh?"
-
Not a sniff today. No groups correct.
-
Ended up getting 2 groups, purple and yellow. Almost got 3 but picked the wrong ball game.
Would never have got the blue row.
-
Got yellow and green after two fails then totally fluked purple as I had no idea how to link the final eight words.
Wins a win as they say!
-
Pleased to say I fluked another
Lost 2 lives getting first Row Yellow and then got the Greens
8 words left and 2 lives and "ding" inspiration led me to Purple. I spotted a Letter that would make 3 of them make sense then realised no no it makes 4 make sense
They duly lit up so I then hit the last 4 and had absolutely no idea why they were connected and even though I read why I've still no idea lol
As Bruce Forsyth would be saying "Whoa Good game Good game"
-
Failed. Got yellow group.
Too many similar words
-
Getting fed up with this. A 1 minute total failure, just picking words quickly to get it over with.
Made worse by this awful snotty cold that doesn't seem to want to shift anytime soon.
-
One good thing about it is it's not as tense as Wordle because no one will have built up a decent enough run to dread failing and having to start all over again!
-
Here's 4 words . See if you can get the Connection
Panned
Humiliated (again)
Clueless
Really ?
Yes the Connection is it describes my attempt to solve todays puzzle
Yet again totally erratic attempt ending in losing all 4 lives without solving even the (alleged) simplist Row or any other
BB is right at least you generally don't have a streak to play for and defend and in fact my record on WorLdle is still only 8 which ( consults Spreadsheet ) is still 6 higher than Connections :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
-
Completed this easily in about 2 minutes before bed.
One life lost.
Goodnight! (http://)
-
Same for me.
-
They must have seen my comment from yesterday and given us an easy one today.
Also perfect and done within a minute.
Too easy really.
-
Sunday early rise doesn't pay off
Got Green , then Yellow losing 2 lives then next 2 lives lost with no more progress
Lost on 2
Looking at the 3rd Row I should have got it , and then even if you don't know connection you are left with 4 words and you are home and dry
-
I solved it Wolfie. Got the yellow and green with one life lost. After a bit of thought got the one with Garbage in it.
So bingo.
Would never have got the last row.
-
Even I got it today. Blue, Yellow, Green, Purple.
I doubt anyone would have got the Purple line because it doesn't make sense on this side of the Atlantic.
-
Got the green and yellow. No clue thereafter.
-
Blue, green, yellow and then purple for me.
One silly life lost!
-
I solved it Wolfie. Got the yellow and green with one life lost. After a bit of thought got the one with Garbage in it.
So bingo.
Would never have got the last row.
Yes the clues were there but I missed them looking too deeply at a different (non) connections
-
Got it today
First 2 came easy and 4 lives left
Saw 3 distinct connections for Row 3 and put them in with a random guess for 1 away so I knew I had 3 more guesses left to add the right answer
I got to 2 words left and 1 guess and picked right
Solved for a streak of One
WorLdle even better with a Streak of 2 . All time record 8 lol
-
Got it too, 3 days on the trot and understood all 4 for a change.
Lost one life.
-
Got the purple group then failed.
-
Managed to complete it this morning with no lives lost, although I wouldn't have got the connection for the final row.
-
Cooked after Row 1
Blew everything on R2 where I had 3x1 away but didn't get it
Brewing beer in shame
-
Got two groups so far and have 2 lives left.
Will go back to it in a bit.
-
7.32 brewing done 5 weeks to go :lol: (St Peter's Ruby kit 10/10 ... as scored by neighbours on our Friday Garage meeting)
5 weeks and a day to :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly:
-
Sounds good Wolfie!
Solved it for 4 days on the trot.
A light bulb moment for the purple group.
-
Got yellow and green, no real idea thereafter so failed.
-
I fluked the blue row then failed miserably with the rest and lost all my lives
-
Sounds good Wolfie!
Solved it for 4 days on the trot.
A light bulb moment for the purple group.
Is that a record I wonder ?
Looks like my hunch to open a Thread dedicated to Connections was a good un ( like my beer according to others )
Now up to 65p a Pint but that's not bad I suppose as for them it's free :lol:
-
Failed today for the first time in 5 days.
Bizarrely I didn’t get the easy yellow but I did have it surrounded!
-
Failed again. Ditto failed on Yellows despite having 4 lives left and only 8 words.
I had it surrounded as well
Kicked myself more at the other Purple row. Get that and the Yellows would be left there anyway
-
Got the Green and blue, failed thereafter. Again lol.
-
Got the green and blue, then failed thereafter.
Was all round the yellow but couldn't get the bloody thing.
Looks like we were all fooled by the yellow.
-
My streak is nil
WorLdle I'm up to 4 , record ever 8
33 in Wordle
-
Got the green and blue, then failed thereafter.
Was all round the yellow but couldn't get the bloody thing.
Looks like we were all fooled by the yellow.
Ditto tommytoes
Stupid bloody game!
-
Cricket
2 without loss then batting collapse to 2 all out
Annoyingly most people will romp it today after I saw the hieroglyphics I couldn't read turned into the simplest language
WorLdle crept to a 5
-
Easy one today. Solved it in no time.
-
Green and yellow got, then failed yet again.
-
I found this one easier than usual, got it with one life lost.
Having said that, I wouldn't have got the final (purple) row if it hadn't solved itself!
-
Yes as reported I got Yellow and Green straight off then lost 4 lives fixated on the Purples
I thought that there must be a suffix and thought Mar lin saw Mer lin then spotted Ear and thought Lin ear and looked at the other words adding Lin to front or back. I settled on Pop Lin sure that that was a material they made shirts from so that was a banker too
But I tried 4 times and failed each time and remembering it's US game failed using Sat Lin and Lin Sat
F****** hell was I kicking myself when I saw the answer
-
Funny how our brains work. I got the purple group first. MER got it for me, no such English word (or one I've heard of)
-
That's a great point TT . Will watch for similar in future
I will "plan it" more carefully next time
-
Downed after getting Green Row without loss
Kicking myself yet again after getting one away 4 times in Yellow and Light Blue categories
But ffs not getting the Yellow was criminal
-
Yellow and green got followed by a failure. Again.
-
Same here Mug.
Who's heard of Breaking?
And the other 4, no chance of getting that.
-
At least you got the Yellows. I even got that wrong and imagine having F H and K right and adding Trampoline
Wtf was that ?
-
Yesterday now.
Can't believed I had Frog Hare Kangaroo and didn't spot Cricket so I didn't even get Yellows even trying Trampoline
Today an exact opposite of that
Won ... Lost no lives
An upside down logic defying win as I got Purple ( nominally hardest ) first AND Yellows ( nominally easiest ) last
Bamboozled of Thorne
-
Victory for a change but i got Green Blue Purple and fortunately the Yellow was a gimmee.
I will be googling the last word of the yellow group to see what it means. Probably a word the kids use lol.
EDIT It is slang and used by kids (and cool adults I guess) with a meaning that allows it into the Yellow group.
-
Same as you today Wolfie.
Got the purple group first then the rest came easily. No lives lost.
Still would like to know how Breaking is an Olympic sport.
-
Solved it today with no mistakes.
Yellow
Blue
Green
Purple(which I'd never have got in a million years)
-
Ditto ... almost anyway.
Got the Yellows "easily"
I lost a life getting the Greens
Then could see the blues ok
That left the Purples and I did try to find a connection before selecting them
Wouldn't have got that any time soon (if ever)
-
Got it thus:
Blue
Green
Yellow
Purple by default. Wouldnt have got it if I'd sat all day.
-
Green
Yellow
Blue
Purple
Purple is a piss-take.
-
Got the yellow then failed.
Got 3 of the green group a couple of times but ultimately failed.
2 of the purple group I've never heard of.
-
Got Blues first
Mixed the Greens and Yellows up 3 times ( similar but not same)
Had a go at Purples as I spotted a connection for 3 and opted for one I hadn't heard of over one I hadn't heard of
The latter would have been right but "cooked"
-
Solved it with a complete fluke.
Got the green and yellows after
a lot of jiggery pokery, losing 3 lives in the process.
After more muddled thought I decided the blue could be something to do with horses so eventually pressed submit and, blow me sideways it was right, er for the wrong reason.
As for the purple 2 were obvious, 2 were impossible.
Anyway as Wolfie says, a wins a win!
-
Do 2 or more different people set these I wonder
Today after yesterday's debacle ....
A 2 minute no lives lost win , and I got Purple third AND for a change I knew the connection for the last 4 words as well
If there are 2 people setting them I hope other one is on his holidays for a while :lol:
-
Same here Wolfie. Solved it in no time
Purple
Green
Blue
Yellow.
-
Another perfect here.
G,Y,B then P.
-
Dismal failure, lots of 1 away attempts, but I rushed it today.
I think all 4 groups are eminently guessable with a bit of concentration.
-
Blew first attempt (1 away) so tried a different 4
As Mug said ... they are connected and I got home without losing another life
That left me with 3 words I had right in guess 1 and one I would never have put with them and of course that completed the 4
Streak 2
-
Kicking missen for today's fail.
Got yellow and green with no mistakes.
All round the other two and should really have got it, but didn't.
-
Won without loss
Yellow
Green
Then 8 left which seemed unrelated but as I got a Tea "ding" got the Blues
I did as usual try to decide what connected the Purples but failed ( and maybe I should have got it )
I predict a clean sweep on here today
Streak 3 ( I have to keep count as App doesn't )
-
Won without loss but fluked it.
G,Y,B and P by default.
I think Wolfie is very brave to suggest a clean sweep as I had only gut feeling to get the blue and no idea what linked the purples.
-
Same here got yellow and green in 10 seconds.
Then lost 3 lives with the swimming animal but fluked it on last guess.
-
I was "boosted" by going back to your comment the other day , when I crashed and burnt and you said " I looked at MER and thought , that's not a word"
So I was drawn to the shortest of the Animal words , and as I made a Tea I thought of it and bang . I've seen one in fact
Then I thought ah , and listed in my head the other 3. Still then struggled with Purple though
"Fluked no pun intended" :laugh:
-
Won without loss but fluked it.
G,Y,B and P by default.
I think Wolfie is very brave to suggest a clean sweep as I had only gut feeling to get the blue and no idea what linked the purples.
Hi Mug
Only bigged it up as we seem to be down to a diehard 3 :lol:
And tbf at one point I thought , no , not for me but carried on :crying:
-
Well you were right anyway Wolfie so what do I know lol.
-
Whoever thought up that purple group today wants bloody slotting.
-
Yesterday Casino and Spatulas plus other 2 all have Slots :evil:
-
Yesterday Casino and Spatulas plus other 2 all have Slots :evil:
That was today lol.
Anyone heard of a Right whale??
-
No lives lost victory, albeit in a funny order.
PYBG
-
Yesterday Casino and Spatulas plus other 2 all have Slots :evil:
That was today lol.
Anyone heard of a Right whale??
Yes , I was sure I'd seen them off Boston USA or Long Island so looked them up
It was then I found the origin.of their name. Whalers called them the Right ones to hunt. Usually in relatively shallow waters and floated when dead :(
Why not call them Sitting Duck Whales
-
In 4 no lives lost
Y
B
G
P ( couldn't see Connection but it didn't matter )
Streak 4
-
Am I looking at the same puzzle?
All words ending in Y
I haven't a clue on any of them.
-
Stone me!
Went back and solved it. Lost 2 lives
Y
B
P
G
-
Bizarrely I got it hardest to easiest whilst losing two lives!
-
Got it with 1 life lost.
PYBG
EDIT: I have a new tactic in that as soon as the game opens, I shuffle all the words as I think the initial placement is done to lead you up the wrong path.
Shuffling them today made the Purple group leap out at me.
-
Good tip Mug thanks
Today that might have helped because despite knowing the Connection for 3 Colours including Purple I was "All out for 0"
I went through the Purples again and again and could have looked up the answer but resisted
Streak 0
You stupid boy
-
Dead easy today. Got it in no time.
P
Y
G
B
-
I just couldn't get the P as I've not seen SOM ( trying not to give anything away )
-
I don't think anyone's watching Wolfie.
Yes if you don't know the song then I can see why you struggled.
-
SOM was One of the 5 LP's my parents owned, so was played ad nauseum in our house, so I know it word for word lol.
If there's a James Last or Mantovani link tomorrow, I'll be a shoo in!
-
Blimey Mug, your parents were cultured.
I had to endure endless Frank Ifield.
Yodellleh hee hee!
-
Blimey Mug, your parents were cultured.

Yodellleh hee hee!
That was my reaction to Hak's goal yesterday lol
-
Unlike the Wordle got this in record time.
P
Y
G
B
-
Same as Wordle ... Except I lost lol
Got Green Then Blue then Blew (it)
Streak 0 , nowt , zero , Zilch
I did get WorLde though for a Streak of 1
-
Got YG then failure.
-
It’s a picture round today.
-
Damn.
2 right but lost.
Kicking myself really cos I was on right road with Purples but got too literal with one of them
Streak ? A stubborn (best 4)
Penalty in Worldle for a streak of 2 ( best 8)
-
YG then failure.
-
Is it a lettuce a cabbage or just a leaf?
And what's that squiggly red thing?
-
Bacon!
Solved it with one life lost.
Y
B
P
G
Pleased with that!
-
Now we've all reported, I demand a Steward's enquiry on the purple group.
A) How can a picture denote the sex of a sheep? It could have worn a tiara to help me along.
B) That's a very, very thin bee.
C) Surely a golf tee would have been more accurate than a teapot?
-
I had the i t and b then thought for a while and bingo sheep= ewe.
I thought the rhyming words were too obvious so that was last.
-
Yes , I had ewe (as in you ) eye (as in I) but failed as thought teapot not Tea Also had Saw as in saw lol
I thought it was a Wasp too and included it wrongly in "thing that scare people lol" where I was one away but of course it was about films of which I know nowt
Was it supposed to be Texas Chain Saw cos that would be a Stewards Enquiry or objection from me
-
No there's a horror film franchise called Saw. Saw 2 Saw 3 etc.
To be honest I got a bit lucky there, had saw, alien, vampire and guessed the other scary face was from the Scream films. Luckily was right.
And I thought the yellow group, which I got first were just food. Didn't see the money connection.
Money cheese?
-
Thinking about it they were film titles
Saw
Dracula
Scream
Alien
-
Yes , I had ewe (as in you ) eye (as in I) but failed as thought teapot not Tea Also had Saw as in saw lol
I thought it was a Wasp too and included it wrongly in "thing that scare people lol" where I was one away but of course it was about films of which I know nowt
Was it supposed to be Texas Chain Saw cos that would be a Stewards Enquiry or objection from me
It's a series of Horror films called 'Saw'.
Not my thing but Mrs Mug likes it so I've seen them by osmosis ie She watches horror whilst I watch Bambi on my tablet.
-
Is that the horror version of Bambi where it gets torn to bits by a pack of hyenas?
-
Well well well
The hard setters gone away again lol and my equivalent has taken over
Easiest I've ever done / seen / won
Did the now traditional Shuffle and then I lost no lives getting G Y B & P
Technically I didn't get the Purple. Even when they remained I tried for 10 seconds to see the connection but moved on . Answer "underwhelming"

Whoo hoo
Rovers 1 Wrexham 0
Wordle in 3
WorLdle in 1 streak 4
Connections done no lives lost YGPB Streak 2
Tbf the Blues were left and I guessed the Connection
Beer barrelled beforehand so I felt I was behind the clock , under pressure but as with Rovers COYW :lol:
Thanks again Mug . I'm sure the pre match shuffle works on Connections :thumbsup:

Solved quickly again

As my last post . Shuffled and the easiest Yellow ones produced 3 in a Row on top line

Switched focus to different 4 and lost again
3 down and thinking back to drawing board but ...
Then went Y G B & P and got the win
Streak 4 .... Shuffles 4 :lol:
And a jammy 3 in WorLdle Streak 1
-
I lost both lives going down the goldilocks rabbit hole. But after getting the green group I saw the connection.
Quite a clever group of words I thought.

Pre Morecambe triumph. Hoping for real thing later
A mug shuffle followed by YGBP
All very quick exactly as I hoped
Streak 5
WorLdle Streak 2

Solved with no mistakes
G

Solved, 1 mistake

If there's one thing I'd change is that you'd have to supply the link for the last group you get, as it's just a gimmee as it stands.

Very good point mugnapper, agreed.
Got it with one life left.
-
I'd not have got the Connection for the last 4 again today
Open with Shuffle .... Decided I'd lose my streak
Got the Yellows lost 0 lives
Got the Greens lost 0 lives
Got the Purples lost 0 lives
Scratted head for a while deciding I've no idea but I've won losing no lives
Saw answer and realised Rovers would lose another Game before I would have got that
Streak 6
-
Yellow and green in double quick time, then failure.
-
Same here Mug.
Not a clue on the other two.

Solved with one life lost

WTF is a crackerjack? (other than a 60's kids show with Peter Glaise)
-
WTF is a crackerjack? (other than a 60's kids show with Peter Glaise)
If the clues had been Crowther, Glaze, Pencil and 5to5, I think we'd all have got it.
In the US Crackerjacks are a type of snack.

Lost 2 straight off both 1 away
Tried something else
Fluked Purple ffs
Fluked Green
Left with 8 random words imo
Lost a life
S**t or bust 1 life left
Got Yellow
Then looked and looked for connection of the remaining 4 and couldn't see one
Not exactly a Crackerjack but not easy for we on this side of Pond

Quickest I've ever done it; one life lost

B,Y,G,P and worked out the Connection for the P too.
Pleased with that!

Solved quickly. No mistakes and for a change knew them all before I entered em.
YBGP

Solved very quickly with no loss of life, but I would never have got the connection for the final (Purple) row.

Solved with 2 lives left but not easy
Even used a double shuffle but wouldn't give up as I used to

Didn't know the Purple but of course it was logical

G Y P B
11 is better than previous best of 4 , but I expected you could get the answer automatically
Talking of difficult . WorLdle again is ridiculously hard and I can see my score on there and my record streak of 8 is there for me to see
Flopped today on 4 because as soon as it is an African Country I usually blow up and today I was on 4 but Equitorial Guinea popped up and it's straight back to ZERO again
-
Solved quickly. No mistakes and knew all four.
Got the purple first which makes a change.
P G Y B
-
Yes, bit of a doddle today.
G,B,P,Y.
Not going to complain it was too easy though, as I'm sure there's a stinker to come.

Solved quickly. No mistakes and knew all four.
Got the purple first which makes a change.
P G Y B
Ditto , my doppleganger in charge
I knew all 4 and was sure I knew Purple but got Yellow first
Then made the Purple more likely
Blue came next
Green last but I knew connection
Clean sweep for Streak 12
Meanwhile it's back to start again on 0 on WorLdle after f****** Equatorial Guinea

Yahoo , after my torture on Wordle a clean sweep again
Looking after the shuffle I was baffled but then managed
Y
G
B
P ( couldn't see a Connection but didn't give a Donald )
I would not have got it for ages , but yeah , grudgingly a logical connection

Perfect YGBP.
Didn't see the purple connection but I can live with that

Got it with no mistakes but the purple group was a no go area.
G Y B P

Failed today.
Got the Y, then a run of 'one aways.

I'm in that position now lol
Shuffle

Look on here thinking I would get inspiration
Back to game. 2 lives left

Solved with no mistakes. Pleased to get the purple group first.

Failed today, went round the houses for the green and blue.

Worse ... I bombed completely
Lost 4 lives without getting a single Row right.
Just when with 20 I thought I'd got the hang of it
Streak uh uuuhh

Solved with one life left. Lost 3 trying to get the yellow. Googled a couple of words to fing out what they were. Would never have got the purple.

Failed miserably.
Stupid flippin' game

Another fail.
Got

Then 8 random words. Got 1 away twice but determination to solve didn't count. I should have got Blues looking back but it's still a streak of NIL or
Minus 2 whichever people prefer
-
Failed today, first time for a while. Got the Y and G no idea on the others.
-
I’d never have got the blue Wolfie, ignorant of those matters.
-
Also failed today. Got G and Y quickly, then went round the houses. Would not have got the connection in the P group if I'd looked all day.
-
Got it with 2 lives lost, but wouldn't have got the final (purple) connection:
G
Y
B
P

Done with 1 error.

Embargo over
Homophones in Purple . 3 were straight forward but Hairy ?
Hairy is apparently a homophones for Harry
I supposed you have to imagine "yank" pronouncing harry . Think Mamma Mia maybe , but I didn't get THAT connection

First one I've actually enjoyed for a while. A right battle. I had no lives left but got it.
YBPG
I kind of knew the Green connection, but wouldn't have been able to describe like they do

Failed today.
Got the yellow and purple groups but bombed out after losing patience with it.

Solved quickly with no mistakes. Would never have got the Blue group.
P

Solved no mistakes

Got Y
Then 8 totally random words left. After thinking I've no idea and shuffling (again and again) I came up with :
Got P and had no idea ( and can't say yet how I put those 4 together )
Got B and no idea either. Wouldn't have got that or Purple in a million years
Streak 7
-
I thought the purple was the easiest to get today.
Strange how minds work differently.
-
Done with no errors.
GYBP
Took a punt on the B as I knew 3 of the 4 and guessed the last one.
Didn't know the P but didn't study it for long as I've got stuff to do today.

Failed dismally. Lost all my lives fumbling for the Yellows and had no clues about the GBP before they were revealed.
-
Same here. Knew what a couple of the connections were but chose wrong options, therefor a catastrophic failure.
-
Well a 100% fail today after yesterday's 100% win
Did kick myself with eventual Blue row as I was one away twice but should have got it but I was thinking along slightly the wrong lines. (Wrong type of mechanism )
-
I'm not giving in
Got Y
Got B
Still got 4 lives but 8 words that I can't fathom yet
Half hour gone ... Shuffling like mad but no bolt of lightning has struck me yet :ohmy:

Done, 1 life lost.
YBPG
No idea what the G was though and no better off having seen the answer.
-
Yes , I kept returning again and again to Were. I felt it was a key word as you said that time with Mo was it
However I still didn't see it even after putting Wolf behind it and trying Wolf behind all the other words Duh
-
Yes Wolfie.
I started off thinking Vamp would be prefixed by Re, along with act produce direct. There were 5?in all which could have had that prefix so ditched that, decided it was vampire and frank solved it for me.
-
Solved with one life left,
Got the yellow and blue with two lives lost, eventually the purple group clicked, should really have got the green before that.
Y

Done with 1 life lost. Didn't link the P's though.

Got Blue
Had been 1 away with what turned out to be the Greens and had one last attempt
Green 1 life left
Purple but would never have got that
Streak 2
-
I'm interested to see where my fellow players go with this one
Been looking at it 20 mins and shuffled but can't even get a start
I can see some that would reverse but 6 of them I think
Soldier on lol
Edit. I've got Green (14 minutes on) but 1 life gone as well
-
Get a life . I decided to and blew last 3 lives
Streak 0 though Purple I should have got

Same here Wolfie. Got the green and lost 4 lives trying to get the bread buns.

Fails but a bit unlucky.
Lost 3 lives straight away then got the yellow and blue. Eventually worked out the purple but there were two possibles and chose the wrong un.
-
I got fixated on "cinch , picnic , breeze" etc and carried on
I expanded pic and that should have got me 1 line at least
Brain dead this morning
-
Dismal fail.
Mrs Mug just rattled it off in a minute. GBPY and declared 'Easy' as she did it.
You can go off people rather quickly, can't you?

I chose ice for the blanket in stead of throw.

Streak 0
WorLdle abandoned never to be mentioned again

Miserable failure. Only got the blue then it went tits up as I went down the wrong path with the Y.

BY then oblivion.

Amazing , as I had you both pencilled in for a win
What a turn round from yesterday when I got hammered and you both lost just one life apiece
-
Streak 2 :woot: but not emphatic
B
Y
Then random 8 words. Could see 3 that could connect but not a 4 th so hit those 3 plus a guess
1 away 1 down
Stuck with 3 most likely and boom , 3 plus a ???
G
Left with Purple and again 3 plus a ???
-
Lucky finish. BY quickly done. Like Wolfie, saw 3 of the G and lost 2 lives guessing the 4th, despite not getting the correct connection.
P by default.
-
Pleased with missed for getting the Purple second.
Solved with one life lost.
B
P
Y
G
-
Boom , done again
G
Y lost a couple
8 randoms but spotted 3 that matched and blew 2 goes at finding 4th
Was approx right but lost. Purple a mystery ... Well one word anyway
Streak 0
-
Hung over failure. 1 away for 3 guesses and then nothing.
-
Hard one today but solved with one life left.
G
P -helps to know how these work spotted 3 straight away and eventually got the 4th
Y
B
-
What did SU mean ? I've said Hi Hey and if drunk might admit to Yo once or twice but what is Su or Sup or even Supp ?
PS
I blew myself up after thinking Culture - Club Sports- Club Supper- Club and tried City Club and Copy Club
Boom, gone , probably deservedly
-
'Sup as in 'whassup' in that Budweasel advert I guess.
-
That’s it^^
-
Streak 3 losses in a row
Blew all 4 on what turned out to be the G but wouldn't have got one of the 3
Looking at Yellow solution reminded me "they aren't defined as easiest for nowt" and with a group gone it should make it "easier"
-
Done, no loss of life.
GYPB.
Didn't spot the B link though.
-
You deserve a medal for solving that Mug.
Got the Y and three of the P then lost all lives.
Would never have got the G or B.
-
Some days you see them, some days you don't. Which is what makes it a fun/frustrating way to start the day.
-
Today I saw them but incredibly easily.
Straight run no lives lost. Left with Purple which I didn't try to solve
B
Y
G
P
Streak 1
-
Yes Wolfie, a children's edition of Connections today. Apart from the P group which I did try to solve but couldn't.
YBGP.
-
Unlike the bloody wordle,solved in a minute like you two.
Y
P
B
G
-
Another easy one. Thought the purple was a bit odd, but solvable.
G
Y
B
P
-
Streak 2 with no lives lost
Y
B
G
P no idea but didn't care
Could see the logic but may have sat hours before penny dropped
-
Done but with more of a battle than you chaps, losing 2 lives on what I thought initially was a barber theme.
YBGP.
Have they given up using the word homophone now?
-
Streak O .... Bombed
0 for 4
Head not in it but should have got Purple at least
-
Dismal failure.
Lost 2 lives chasing the P and 2 more after the Y.
-
Stared at this thinking I’d no chance of getting one row right.
Lost 2, lives then got
Y
Then got P after the US spelling nearly fooled me.
After that the B was obvious.
As for the G bloody ridiculous.
So solved it
Y
P
B
G
-
Streak -1
Lost a life
Got G
Lost a life
Got Y
Blew last 2 and I should have got P. I had 3 potential and one of remaining words fitted with different slant
-
What a rollercoaster of a morning. A 2 on Wordle, followed by getting the G and B groups in 30 seconds.
Then lost all 4 lives in quick succession trying to get the P group.
Should have looked for the Y instead lol
-
Solved with one life left
G
Y
B
P
-
Yes Purple was "wick-ed" to me every time I shuffled
Read it as "wicked" rhyming with "licked" and home and dry
-
Done. YGPB.
Lost one life on the way. Knew the Blue too.
-
Solved nice and easy, no lives lost.
G
P
B
Y
-
Might have a chance today then. How the hell did I get 20 in a row ?
-
On the way with a streak of 1
No lives lost
YGBP
Shrugged shoulders at P but dead easy when I saw answer
-
After my farcical Wordle attempt, a perfect YGBP with no loss of life.
-
Lost 2 lives but solved it
Y
P
G
B
-
Surrender again. Streak 0
Save time on Wordle to max on this
In the end I essentially give up
Long long long think
Then got Y
Lost 1 with 2xG 1xB 1xP
Got B with a word that I didn't think "went"
8 words left and 3 lives think of perms I can do
3 P 1G 2left
2P 2G 1 left
3P 1G 0 left
Pathetic . Could see them when it's too late
-
Very very clever today. Too clever for me although Bennetthorpe , Belle Vue , Keepmoat and Eco would probably do me at the moment
Lost 3
Got B
Got stuffed
-
BYGP with one life lost after taking the bait of the group that was so obvious, it had to be a trap.
-
Failed without getting one group.
Ashamed of missen.
-

Wolfie, I'm no psychologist but I think mentally you are in negative mode when you approach this game at the moment.
Try tomorrow's in a more positive frame of mind.
You are an intelligent man, you've done this puzzle correctly many times and will do so many times in the future.
(This Counselling session was free, future sessions charged at £1 a letter).
-
So how do you explain my capitulation today then mug.
I’ll pay you £2 a word if you can get to the root cause.
-
Agree ... I'm in a negative mood generally. That can't help.
Wordle I'm hoping for a 1 with Stare then just play for a win not a 2 or a 3. No agonising just get on with it.
Use a used word , yep. Move a Green , yep. Anything to move it on , exception entering Stare after I've tried it once
Connections , I've been to 20 , don't know how high you 2 have gone. Then I've hit the buffers. The gloom is there for sure and I have just capitulated recently
Also recently I saw the easiest puzzle ever on here , but lately I'm struggling. Cameras and Mountains today . I lost 2 straight away but then got Blue which on balance should have been the Yellow
Yellow way over my head. Must be hardest Y ever ?
Soon lost out after persisting with Mountains but looking at Hood , I had no idea but it's a small mountain in Oregon ffs
Even Cannon is a Mountain but with 2xNs of course.
Never ever heard of Oeuvre so how the hell is that in Yellow ?
You are right though mug ... I am in a poor place and need to give my head a wobble as confidence shot , not just in puzzles .
-
That’s not like you John, you’re always so cheerful.
These games are just that. Instantly forgettable games.
Chin up mate, but if it continues go and see the Doc.
All the best x
-
Cheers , at least Friday is Home Brew in Garage night lol
Though last week we had a change and went to a Pub in Hatfield (Jack Hawley Micropub) for a couple then back to Garage
Tonight may be Windmill or Don Valley Tap at Sandtoft so something to look forrad to

** Lost a life straight away on the Blue
Was careless as I knew it but pressed wrong button and didn't check b4 pressing "enter"
-
No lives lost - YGBP.
Didn't know the P connection.
-
Failed. Got the G, fluked the B, barking up the wrong tree.
Lost all lives thereafter.
-
Same as you Mug
Got the G and B. Knew what the purple was about but one foxed me.
The Y was gettable really.
Failed.
-
Home with 1 to spare and very very lucky
Got
Y
Then lost 3 lives all one away perming the "hair" category
Finally got
G but only 1 life left
I couldn't see any Connections so I just guessed at 4 of the longest
B
P had no idea whatsoever
Streak 2 ... dead lucky

3 in a row ...no lives lost
Y
B
G
P
Got top 2 after " making sure" I was "right" , bcos 4 of them looked a bit of a trap
8 seemingly unrelated words and 4 attempts to come
Still couldn't see owt so on a hunch picked 4 and
G
P had no idea of three of those.
-
Solved eventually with no lives lost.
B
Y
G
P which I thought was something to do with music. It wasn’t.
-
Enjoyable battle. (Only enjoyable because I did it lol).
B (More obvious than Y, surely)?
Y
Lost a life getting the G
P by default, but I did toy with right connection but only knew 2 of the 4.
-
Solved it very quickly today, no lives lost,but still don’t know what the P is about.
Y
G
B
P
-
Streak 4 with 2 lives surrendered
G straight off
Y lost with 2 X 1 aways
B I was eyeing from start and eventually knocked out others in the 2 rows solved
P absolutely no idea. I did think Chicken for one of words but gave that up early doors
-
YGBP with no lives lost.
Was in the right area for the P but also was thinking chicken related.
-
Stuck on 2 at the moment but been weeding as well
Y
Lost a life then
B
but stuck as f*** now :lol:
Got coffee and will sit it out till something appears.
Edit
If you can't be good be lucky and with more weeding I made a decision . With 3 lives left I tried to guess 4 and be at worst 1 away
I thought I spotted a connection with 4 and convinced myself I was right. BOOM
G but totally wrong connection
P easy as tapping 4 keys and yes I think easier than the Green
Right , where's my little fork or better still the bloody rain
-
Failure. Lost 3 lives getting Y, then lost the last one not getting the G. I was barking up the wrong Connection totally.
Wouldn't have got B and P if I'd looked all day!
-
Finally solved it, though have been out delivering food to the needy.
Got
Y
B
Lost 3 lives but the P finally clicked
and when I’d got that knew what the G must be

Well jigger me. Look what's on the Sky News headlines today.
Should have looked on there before failing to Connect!
-
Yes , jammy me
I though B was connected by the objects being roughly spherical.
Astounded to be right especially for wrong reason
8 words 3 lives left and still no idea
Picked 4 that I thought were relating to American Football terms
Astounded to be right despite totally wrong connection again
4 words left 3 lives . Even I couldn't fail
-

EuroMillions £100m on Friday. With your current run of fortune, you're a shoo-in lol.
Just remember your Connections friends whilst forgetting the Wordlers!!
-
Connections for children today as far as I was concerned.
PBYG. Done within a minute and knew the final connection too.
-
Its strange as I struggled ... perhaps I've faced some much easier ones. I bought Euromills yesterday lol
I got home losing 1 life (1 away)
Y wasn't a trick
G easier as less to choose from
Lost life chasing what was P .... 1 away
P
B ???
Streak 6

Yes nice and easy today. Spent a while thinking they were too obvious, but they weren’t.
No lives lost.
G
Y
P
B
-
Wolfie, I've also bought a EuroMillions ticket. If I win, I shall give you and TT a million apiece.
-
I’m filling up here.
Ta Mug.
Post your address below ……
-
We could go to a secret location (Little Plough) and have a ceremonial game of Connections
I've got 3 regular lines on Euromillions every draw plus 2 lucky dips ( total desperation) and I will also see my Connection connections "right"
-
I was a 3 nights a week regular in the LP from the mid 80's to early 00's. Even more when my wife left me in 2002 lol
-
I’ve been in Plough intermittently for donkeys years on and off. Used to go in most Friday nights about 2002/3 as my drinking pal was ‘going out’ with Clair behind the bar.
We went to a Robin Trower concert at the Leadmill
with Rod (the Landlord) who was well into his rock music.
-
Our paths must have crossed TT. Rod used to come on our trips to Cheltenham and was a great guy and sadly missed.
-
Me and Muttley ran the football team in the little Plough.
Our one cup winning trophy was hard to find amongst all of the darts ones.
The older guys used to get a bit mardy when we beat them in the domino handicap!
-
Another one I flew through with no loss of life.
GYBP. Knew the P too.
-
Same here Mug.
Y
P
G
B
-
Same win no loss of life
Pleased to spot the Blue first as well
B
G
Y
P
Didn't try to connect Purple but agree and easier than "normal" game today
Streak 7 but I will check
-
Made a mess today. Probably a clean sweep for others though
G
Then 4 lives gone on what turned out to be Yellow
3 of them 1 aways
Streak 0
-
Didn’t think I was going to solve this but I did eventually.
G
long think
P
Y
B obscure or what?
Lost one life.
-
Got a half victory today ie I got 2 groups but failed.
BG got. Lost all lives thereafter, barking up many wrong trees.
-
You did well to get B mug. No chance id have got that.
-
I barked up wrong tree 3 times trying to get Yellows but should , should have seen the Purple ffs. Much much simpler than yellow
B isn't really accurate is it because Cake may or not be in layers whereas the other 3 deffo are. That said I was nowhere near
-
Gave up after 2 goes , slung owt in and got what I deserved
-
Solved quite quickly. No lives lost. The purple was gettable too.
Y
G
B
P
-
Oh no. No,no,no,no. Just no!

No?

https://connections.swellgarfo.com/archive (https://connections.swellgarfo.com/archive)
Look at #266
I get most of them but this one bugged me
You can have as many guesses as you like . I had 67 before I got this
Getting the purple would have helped and it was a straight forward connection See if you can get it all and without losing a life
-
Another stunning defeat.
GY then failure.
-
Fixated on Airport Codes but possible 5
Lost 3 instead getting the Green though
G
That left my Airport Codes down to 4
But that was wrong as well
-
Looked at this and thought oh dear.
But really it was quite easy, done in 5 mins.
G
P
Y
B
-
I never doubted you TT
It was like the picture one that time , looked onerous and baffling
I wasted first 3 lives all 1 aways on the muscles till I got it
Then went for Airport Codes
Again Purple imo was the easiest once you see them all
-
Losing streak 4
Pointless me even starting today as the subject is alien to me.
My knowledge :
I've seen 1 of them
I've not heard of 4 of them ( but doubt that is a Connection)
I know one is an animation
I think I know the star of one of them MLF is DD-L
Sod it . I'll throw 4 totally random guesses in so I see the answers
-
Should have not been as petulant
P first guess
Lost next 3 and in truth they were all logical as Spock would have said
-
Failed as couldn't see past genre of films.
Silly me.
None solved.
-
Yes I dashed in and thought of yesterday and the picture round and realised it wouldn't be a simple as Film Stars or Genres or locations
Completely dismissed my thought above and just guessed to see what the answers were. I had spotted there were some animals in some and fluked Purple
Then I reverted to my original thoughts and just randomly picked ones with 3 words etc so crashed and burned PDQ
Are you in Tenerife with Mrs TT or The Fossils , I suspect the former as numbers falling dramatically in the latter.
-
Yes with Mrs T and our son.
Granville's wife used to arrange all the Fossil trips so since he passed nobody's bothered.
-
Entertaining abject fail.
Was in the right connecting zone for yellow, but can't believe Dumbo is an actual place.
Mistaking Foxy Brown for Jackie Brown didn't help in my quest.
-
Upon lavatory situated reflection, I think today's was gettable if you kept a sensible head about you.
-
Im not one to make definitive predictions any more. That was after I walked out of Canal Tavern in Thorne with Eurovision on from Brighton. I said lets go , and I dont know who will win but if certainly wont be them.
The 5th act that was a group called Abba singing Waterloo
However I am totally confident in this prediction. I will never reach 456 wins in a row on Connctions as I managed in Wordle.
-
4 for no loss today
Really thought about it today but quirky ones as usual made me think more than twice
G
B
Y
P
Can see Purple but wouldnt have put money on it
Streak 1
-
Solved with one loss.
G
Y
B wrong connection (pin) but never mind
P wouldn't have got that.
-
Bit of a flukey no loss win today.
YG easily.
B but was barking up the tree connection wise.
P by default. Wouldn't have got that.
-
Pleased with a no loss win and was kind of on the right lines with the P.
YBGP
-
4 for none again
B checked again and again. Is it a trick. No
Y
G what always ?
P I understand 2 of them and maybe a 3rd
Streak 2 , heady days
-
Solved but lost two lives.
Y
B
G
P who the f*** is Derek Jeter
-
Greatest Short Stop in Baseball though I believe he might be second best
Don't know if SS is number 2 in hierarchy of importance on Field
Pitcher
SS
Don't think his shirt number was #2 but moving on why Pencil ?
-
Spent all career at New York Yankees and yes Shirt Number 2
-
I think it must be the US pencil hardness scale.
We use H. HB etc (I think).
-
Well done Mug. Just looked it up and you are spot on .
-
Well pleased today.
1 life lost. GBYP. Didn't spot the P connection.
-
As with gears in a Car .... They are all in there
Super start
G took ages looked too "easy"
B options but picked right 4
So 8 left and no idea. Lost 3 lives getting ...
Y the easiest ?
P I agree with 2 of them
Streak 3
-
Raced through this in no time.No losses and got the P second.
G
P
B
Y
-
Wow ... Green first same as me , I looked again and again but it wasn't a trap
I struggled at the end and got P only be it being last as you did with Y
It says a lot about Y being easiest as you got it by eliminating the others , and Mug and I both got it 3rd
-
Just watching the footie in a bar.
Great game just finished Swiss v Hungary.
We're staying in this hotel that's not a dump by any means (it cost enough)
But f**k me I've never seen so many grossly obese, loud, drunken, covered in tattoos people in one place.
And that's only the women.
Makes you proud to be British.
-
Good start but back to Streak 0
G
Y
Left 4 lives to get 1 row right. Blew the lot on what turned out to be the Blues
Getting P would have seen me home but sometimes you see 'em ....
-
Done but lost 3 lives getting what turned out to be the P.
YPGB
Didn't get the B connection.
I seem to be much better at those clues that have a literal connection rather than those that require a bit of lateral thinking.
-
One of the Bs ... was literally a B !
-
Solved with one life left. Lucky though with what I thought was a fish pond.
G
Y
G
P
-
Flukiest victory ever with 3 lives lost.
Y then 2 lives lost getting G.
One more life lost luckily getting the P and didn't spot the B connection.
Looking at it after completion, it is a bit more straightforward than I thought.
-
Fluked too
Got Y
Then lost 2 both 1 away trying to get what would be G. I looked elsewhere
Got B for wrong connection though
Then got G as there were only 4 options left
P didn't try but probably wouldn't have got it
-
Solved with 3 lives lost.
G
Y
B
P
-
Amazing 4 without loss and nearly back to front
P easiest of the 4
G
Y
B
Didn't spot the B till answer , but as recently some looked like traps but weren't
Still solved in 2 minutes for Streak of 2
-
Dismal fail.
I agree with Wolfie, the P jumped out, then got the Y losing 2 lives then lost the last 2 lives fannying about after the G.
Eminently gettable. Hangover did not help.
-
Failed too.
Only got the P and lost all lives being one away on the others
Annoying, but but should have been more patient.
-
Good grief , I am surprised not least that I think we all got P first by look of it
I'm no film fan but I was sure that was JB connected and in fact spent half my time looking for a 5th word to muddy the waters
Couldn't see one so risked it and was staggered to see it go P
-
Taxi duties today so desperate to get Wordle in bag early (tick) f/b Connections
Got Y
Got G
4 lives left 2 to go. No idea so it's on "ice" funnily enough I've tried it with a couple of the words
So later hopefully.
-
Quick fail. Got the Y then out in a blaze of failure.
-
I'm back in play
Can see Au and 3 other first 2 letter from Periodic Table but other 3 so obscure I've never heard of them
Will look when not on.phone
-
Wasn't as above so lost one then 3 trying to get B?
P was gettable. The big clue was there and 2 others to make 3
Streak 0
-
Forgot I hadn’t reported.
Bombed out with nothing solved.
Bloody rubbish Penney!
-
The most dismal fail yet. Lost all lives without getting a single group.
-
I can see why Mug. It's tough with a couple of 5s dangling
Also some 3s maybe completed with a USA take
I've shuffled 5 times already , selected 4 then cancelled my selections so I concur .
-
Amazed to get home after the above with loss of 2 lives
1 away before getting
G
That lessened the Perms but
1 away before getting
P
8 left and the Yellow sat looking at me because another elimination getting the Purple
Y
B ... guessed early doors but slight Tweek of the Connection .
Streak 1
-
Abject failure too.
Got one group but went round the houses with the fishing one and failed.
-
This needs correlating
If I get hammered , say getting one Row or worse NIL you two often get all the Connections and to rub salt in often without losing a life
And yet today and a few times recently its completely the opposite. I wonder if your brains are attuned to one particular compiler and mine isnt and vice versa
What say you ?
-
Wolfie
Usually I’m very careful with this and only press enter when I’m as certain as I can be that I’m right.
Last few days though I’ve lost patience early and been a bit reckless.
I’ll try and concentrate more.
-
Good luck with today's puzzle lol.
I actually did it with the loss of 2 lives.
YGBP. Was too mentally drained to try work out the P.

It happened to me recently. My mind was elsewhere and I got into a not really bothered routine which made things worse
I'm largely but not completely back and like you I wait till I'm sure before pressing enter (now) , whereas recently I would have baled and failed
-
Good luck with today's puzzle lol.
I actually did it with the loss of 2 lives.

Looks like the Image round , the "Film" round and the Pea Tea Lea Sea round
I am sure there are hidden logical connections so vow to look rather than bottle it

Y
No lives lost
Then 1 away
Then 1 away
Perming the Blue
B eventually with 2 left
P I actually had the germ of an idea for a Connection right at start but couldn't find a 4th
Streak 2
War and Peace 15

Solved quickly with no lives lost.

knew both of those left so chose..

One away on what was Yellow then all over place
Back to Streak of 0 or minus 1 tbh
-
Got the P then lost all lives.
-
I'm stuck too
P
G
4 lives left and one of course is the alleged easiest
Had half hour so far then out in Garden weeding. Back in and good grief still no light bulb moment.
Will be perming the last 8 soon. Just have to get lucky once lol
-
Impatience got the better of me .... enhanced by Cleverley ( no Politics )
I struck lucky and got the Yellow first guess though they were loosely connected I suppose
Then 4 left and 4 lives , so couldn't go wrong though a very tenuous connection for B which I wouldn't have got though it's there in black and blue I suppose !
Streak 1
-
Back on coach from Filey.
Got….
G
Y
then bombed out.
-
Pleased with a win but didn't spot the P connection. No lives lost.
BGYP.

Here we go
Yesterday me yes TT Mug no
Today Mug yes me no
Got G then blew lot on Yellow

Solved, lost one life. Love those homophones.
No chance with the P
G
Y
B
P
-
The homophones was the key for me . Think there were 5/6 today and I thought I could waste loads of goes on them
There has to be a connection and I can remember Bare and Dear so that was the game on a plate
I take it New is Gnu ?
Get that and 8 words 4 lives . Oh well another valuable lesson learned
-
Got it today with 2 lives lost.
GY, lost 2 lives getting the P. Sorr of knew the B ie My logic was slightly different to theirs!
-
Same so far
G
Y
4 lives , 8 seemingly unconnected words lol
Braved a punt at What turned out to be P and it came up MUCH to my surprise
Left B and 4 lives. What could go wrong. That Connection might have evaded me for weeks without ever "tumbling" to me
-
I’ve got G so far, totally stumped now, I’ll look back later when my brain has cleared from a hangover and a bad nights sleep.
-
So 5 minutes later went back and solved it. List one life, didnt getthe purple.
G
Y
B
P
-
Got the Purple but more of a perm / punt . Blue was strange .

I found it pretty straightforward today although I did lose one life.

Good start to the day.

4 without loss

Quickest one I've ever done, with no lives lost

Just succeeded but lost 3 lives.
GYBP and knew the purple.
-
Streak 4
Lost 2 lives
G
B
Then scratted around for what was P getting one away twice till the Perm paid off
P
2 lives left and so got the Y. I had spotted 3 early doors and there they were in the last 4 with one I'd never heard before
,
Streak 4 ... I know that's twice lol
-
Oneawayitis this morning so solved nothing.
Very poor indeed.
-
First fail for a few days.
Lost a life getting the Y then lost the rest in pursuit of G and B..
-
Isn’t it strange Mug?
I got todays in no time, with no lives lost and knew all 4 connections.
Whereas on other days I’ve been completely bamboozled and you’ve cracked it easily!
G
Y
P
B
-
Should be interesting. Here goes lol
-
How long was that ?
Wasted time thinking nah , it's a catch on at least first 2 rows
-
And again I got the Yellow last
B
G
P (even knew that)
Y bloody homophones
Streak 5
-
I went at it too fast today. Should have had a rethink after the first couple of incorrect gueses.
Hey ho, tomorrow is another day!
-
Streak 6
Got
G
Then 1 away (after what turned out to be B)
P
Then I away (as above)
Y fluked ... didn't see how 1 could be in there
Finally B by default
-
Solved easily, no lives lost and knew all 4.
G
P
B
Y
-
Hungover dismal fail. Lost 3 lives trying to get the Y. Gave up on that and went for the B which gave me my final failure.
-
Solved eventually thanks to a lightbulb moment with the purple.
G
Y
P
B no idea on this one.
-
Quick solve ... losing 1 life
Y
G
B lost 1 getting this
P
Streak 7
-
The Boy is back with just the one loss of life chasing a non existent group before getting GYPB. Knew the B too.
Strange how not being hungover appears to make it more straightforward.
-
Did you think they were nicknames of pop stars Mug?.
I lost one life with Sting,Prince,Seal and Usher.
-
I had that ready to go but spotted another word to go with usher so went elsewhere
Even so I lost one on guess 3 on B , but was thinking Flag not Dollar Bill
-
Streak 8 .
4 for nowt
Y
B
Long think but I risked 4 and got ...
G
P ..... one of them I bet will give many people the P first today but not me. It rang a huge bell though.
Streak 8 ( the mean blokes gone on Vacation / Holiday / Break / Sojourn )
-
Easy. 2 minute job.
Y
P
G
B
-
Yes whipped through it in no time.
No lives lost, knew all groups.
BYGP.
-
Streak 8 under threat as the " baddie " returns from holiday
-
Strange one today in that I knew what all 4 connections were about but failed to get all four in the right place, so failed without solving anything.
-
Pleased with a victory. Lost one life getting the Y, then PBG in a reasonable time.
-
I've had a plump for the one that includes brainstorm but was 1 away
3 lives left and it's a void for me as yet . Can see no logic and already stumped apart from the 1 away.
Looks like Mug 1 TT and I, 0
-
Life's too short. I permed 3 Yellows with 4 non yellows and boom , 8 down to 0 in about 90 minutes of looking
Wtf has the one I didn't get have to do with it ?
-
I'm guessing you're talking about the S word?
My knowledge of American idioms comes mainly from watching The Simpsons and various American sitcoms, so from somewhere in there I knew what the S word meant and wasn't a literal meaning.
Not often I succeed and you guys fail.
-
Life's too short. I permed 3 Yellows with 4 non yellows and boom , 8 down to 0 in about 90 minutes of looking
Wtf has the one I didn't get have to do with it ?
90 mins?? I think you're taking it a bit too serious Wolfie. As you say, life's too short.
Just found out my Window Cleaner has dropped down dead aged 42!! ( Not whilst cleaning my windows I hasten to add).
-
Seeing as there’s only us 3 doing it (with the occasional Pancho) I think it’s safe to report on it.
I knew it was things you could throw… but a wrench?
I knew it was things that were stable …solid real etc but material, maybe I should have got.
Cake? Yes 3 of em but pound? Noooo.
Can’t remember what the other one was but it was the same.
-
I do it as well TT but usually first thing in the morning so spoil away :-)
-
Oops sorry knockers. I’ll leave it late in the day then if I’ve owt to moan about!
-
After yesterday much quicker and of course more ( much more ) successful
4 for nowt
G
B
Y
P didn't try to solve it
Another day when I thought , it's a trap , it's a trick etc but they werent

I’ll throw a wrench at the compiler of that one.
However a kiss and cuddle for today’s.
Solved quickly no lives lost, knew em all.

Done in quick time. YBGP. No lives lost.
Now off to get the Tories out. Good start to the day!!
-
Yes let's hope for a tremendous day.
I got them out a few days ago with 2 votes for Labour prospective MP for Doncaster East and I love Lucy lol
25 % of voters will do so by post apparently a new record. Hope for a few more records and a deserved routing of low life's like Shapps Stride Rees-Smug Hunt Braverman etc
Hope "the boys" don't find this lol
-
I don't think there will be many selfies tomorrow from a one term ex Doncaster MP. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
Couldn't last
B
Y
Without loss
8 left ... Perming time and I had a notion on G but zeroed in too far
Lost the 4 but heigh ho there we go

Same here Wolfie

Lost all 4 with wild guesses on the others.
Still no wiser now I know the answers.
-
A sunny balcony based success. Didn't know the P but a wins a win.
BYGP.

Same as yesterday
Y
B but lost 2
Blew other 2 despite G being obvious ( after I'd seen answer )
Edit to totally bloody obvious
-
Solved quickly no lives lost but the P was too obscure.
B
G
Y
P
-
Gallant fail.
YG losing 1 life, but then blew up.
If any of we 3 know the Purple group, I will be surprised.
Sorry, must dash, I have to get back to Main Off Topic board so I can check out CLH's latest nonsensical tripe.
(His fragrance of choice must be Obsession by Calvin Klein)!
-
A win with one life lost
I'm not clever , it was a total fluke
Got G
One away on Yellow
Got Y
Random 8 words left . Spent 5 mins looking before choosing 4 that looked to be connected
Got P but for a totally different connection.TBH I would never have got that in a million years
B was easy ... Select them all and then look why they were supposedly connected . Grudgingly say 3 of them were
-
Solved with no lives lost. Pleased with missen that I worked out the B. Had no idea about the American songstress.
Y
G
B
P

Lost two getting yellow then everything else fell into place.

A doddle today. One of those where i was seeing connections everywhere.
No lives lost BGPY.

Last gasp lucky one today

Always think that's bizarre. I've done it a couple of times but ffs Y supposedly "easiest". I bet I don't get Y first 75pc of time
Maybe see it , leave it just in case it's a trap eh ?
-
It was better than I thought on Yellows
I went through 64 results and got Y first only 24 times and didn't on 40 guesses so call it 37.5 %
So not sure if my maths or data reading are as bad as my Yellow solving but comments very welcome lol
-
Scraped in with 3 lives lost.
YGPB. Didn't spot the B connection.
-
Life
Y
Life
P
G
B (not heard of one of them)

Well got the Y first
One lost getting G
Then lost rest trying to get either of B or P
Kicked myself when I saw answers more so the P which I should have got
Should have got 3 of the 4 of the B too
-
Solved. Lost one life. Heard of 3 of the B’s like knockers.

4 for 0 . I could see 3 of the P (afterwards) but would never have got them "in open play"
-
Managed it with no lives lost today
-
Currently half way through in statistical terms but as G then Y took minutes and I've done much more on getting nowhere with B and P timewise I'm way behind the clock lol
-
Blew last 4 .... was sure I spotted a Connection which turned out to be B but as I found you can only Perm 4 times b4 being blown out of water
-
Too tired to get it. Got the G at 4am, Got the Y at 4pm, then blew all lives in 2 mins, without getting close.
-
I’ve had an op under rohipnol and general anaesthetic this morning, so my brain is a bit (a lot) all over the place.
Had a look at it but that’s all. Might try later.
Did the Wordle before I went.
-
So had a lot of time to look at this as Mrs T is watching endless reruns of Emmerdsle and I’m chair bound.
Eventually solved it. Lost two lives chasing the B when the P was easier
Got Y and G fairly quickly.
Several weeks later
P
wouldn’t have got B
-
Doddle for me today. YGBP. Didn't see the P connection as I disagree with one of the answers.
Ps. Hope you've come round TT. I have come to dislike Doctors these days. Always wanting to shove stuff up my bottom or down my throat.
-
Same here mug.Got
Y
B
G
straight away so spent a while trying to solve the P.
Gave up and agree, it’s as dodgy as a dodgy thing.
Yesterday’s op was on my todger I’m afraid.
It’s currently twice its normal size, which sadly won’t last.
(Too much information, I know (sorry)
-
Amazing 4 for 0
G
Y
Then 8 left of course. I had been watching 3 words ( turned out Blue ) but couldn't find a 4th
They were still there so with 4 lives left I could perm , and boom first shot although I still don't quite get it
4 left ... Pressed them and wtf is THAT ? I would never have got that esp with the 4th one not really complying with the definition
-
I've been sat here saying that last word over and over, wondering if I've been pronouncing my ex wife's name wrong all these years.
-
Is there another pronunciation of c**t?
-
Thinking about it, you know what those Yanks are like with our language, when a mirror is a mirrrr.

Probably my quickest solve. Knew all 4 straight away.

YBGP. One life lost on 1st go, thereafter a breeze. Was in the right ballpark for the P.
Now to try that cryptic business.

Permed till blown it
P would have been easier
-
Struggled slightly for a win. One life lost.
YG in short order. Bit of a battle but got the P eventually. Did not see the B connection.
-
I didn't see the first word connection with Blue but could see they were connected but what about the 4th.
I didn't try the correct 4th one obvs so back at nought again
-
Probably the easiest 3 groups ever.
Ignored the glaringly obvious one so got
G
then the open goal
Y
Then it was a simple
B
Had a brief look at the P but soon gave up.
No mistakes.
-
Was that a Connections for the under 10's?
GBYP. Got the P Connection. Done in 90 seconds.
Feel a bit cheated to be honest.
-
Agree , even I got 4 for O
G
Y
B
P didn't try to solve but spotted " something"
-
Lost one life through being too hasty, then got them all.
But I wouldn't have got the connection for the final (Purple) group
-
Can't say too much if others are still solving but the 4 letter one in P I actually said ..... out loud and should have then looked at the other 3 but didnt.
Deffo a Connection I should have got :(
-
Lost one life through being too hasty, then got them all.
But I wouldn't have got the connection for the final (Purple) group
I was the same as you regarding a hasty life lost but knew the purple.
-
More of a battle today. Lost 2 lives but got there in the end.
YGBP.
-
Don't normally do this but was up
Did it in first 4 goes
-
A colossal failure said the telly as I pressed enter for a 5th time.
Only 1 had been right
G
... then I found it challenging to say the least
I was confusing both Yellow and Blue and had no idea on the P
Back to 0

Got it after losing 2 lives trying for the B
G

I'm sure they've done that P connection previously.

Raced through it. No loss of life.
BGYP. Knew the P.
It's very muggy in Derby. Walked 18 miles in the last 2 days. Rest day today.
-
Yes P
There was one word in the 16 that after my initial shuffle stood right out
I instantly thought of a suffix and luckily there were another 3 , not 4 to go with it
Boom P in first guess
Only 1 word in Puzzle in green was a bit "odd" an Americanism probably

Just found the average score for today's puzzle with results coming from Players paid to play the Puzzles in advance and find bugs and other issues
It's 3.7 out of 5 which right at this moment ( I've got G but already lost a life ) looks low to me
74 %

Got there in the end , still with only 1 life lost
But thinking American might well help today

First fail for a while. Being hungover not helping.
BY then failure.
-
i got lucky after the first 2 . I was about to Perm some that looked like a Connection of 3 , turned out to be green , and only one of the 5 words looked anywhere near so took a gamble and was right but a very obtuse connection.
Even now I have only got 2 of the Purples. Will have to look up the other 2
-
Today's difficulty 60pc

Perfect 4

Lost a life getting the B, then GPY. I'm sure they've used the G connection before, recently.

Lost a life getting the B, then rattled off GYP and knew the P connection.
Positive start to the day.

Lost 3 perming the B at the start all "one away" before getting it with 4th go
B
But one life left. Difficult for me today for sure
G
8 left and 1 life and had 3 of them in mind throughout so gambled on the 4th one. Luckily right
Y
P tenuous
Streak lucky 7
Anyone get the degree of difficulty at all. It's via light bulb in top right but my link is broken . Bet it's 80%

Hats off to you .... They all looked disconnected to me except the B
Finally found DOD was 52% the easiest we have faced. I am surprised.
On the upside we all got it

DOD 52% so allegedly on a par with yesterday.

It was exactly same as yesterday DOD wise for me
Back to square one after getting to 6

4 perms back to 0
Agree with Mug it was gettable . I should have got the P but missed out that "type of connection"

Solved with one life lost, but very lucky. Got the purple as it looked right, without actually knowing why!!
And would have struggled with the blue.
Anyway a wins a win as Wolfie says.

Totally jammy 4 for 0

Commonsense and one you know when you know.....but I wouldn't have got that I don't think

We are overdosing on the jam today.
GY then fluked the P as they just looked likely. No idea about the B connection.

Solved quite quickly, thanks to getting the purple first. No lives lost and knew all four for a change.

Well you beat me Wolfie. All out fail.
Went after the Y and G's. Was one away 3 times then an out and out fail.
Tomorrow is another day.

https://connections.swellgarfo.com/nyt/14 (https://connections.swellgarfo.com/nyt/14)
I've been doing the Archive for morale boosting purposes , but got to Number 14 and I ain't got a clue
I look time and again but nothing ever comes. It lets you have endless guesses and I've currently had six (6) without getting a single one right
So TT and Mug have a go and crack it without loss !
-
A fail for me too. Looked up what Solfege meant so that got me the Blue.
Too many options on the others so failed quite miserably.

Well that was fun.
Got the G losing one life. Then the B.
Then I had the right Connection for the P but blew all my lives guessing the 4th member of the group.
The Y group I've never heard of 2 of them in that context.
-
Yes
Finally got it after 2 weeks looking and it took 21 guesses
The B was first but hadn't heard of 2 of them. I thought there was a Connection of 3 for the wrong reason then permed
G was next as I saw another 3 but permed many times till one other came up
8 words left and I tried for what turned out to be Y but knowing 2 I fished till I got 3 then permed till I found 4th
Finally my nemisises were there Mario and Sonic . First 2 I spotted 10 days ago but nothing to go with them .
-
Tried this. Got the brothers then gave up after a plethora of wrong guesses!
-
I've got my Keepmoat seat buddy at Connections now
After a few goes he actually got yesterday's right along with TT and Mug whereas I bombed
And today he got 2 rows right so morally in front of the crowd today

Finally my nemisises were there Mario and Sonic . First 2 I spotted 10 days ago but nothing to go with them .
My girls are the right age for the P group so I got Mario, Sonic and Crash then lost all my lives guessing the last one incorrectly
-
A wins a win as someone says on here lol
G
Y
4 Lives still left
Then permed and got 3 x 1 aways
I could see both Connections and finally got the P
Today's DOD is a new record low of 40% and I almost disproved it's "ease" lol

Lost first 3 goes he had then as I suspected made it 4 in a row today
No lives lost for him either

Done losing 2 lives getting the P.

Done didn’t lose any lives. Purple was too obscure for me.

Can't see that Mug
DOD was just 46% . Haven't seen a lower one

Interesting re personal stats. I do all my morning puzzles on my android phone and I can see my stats by clicking on the medal podium icon on the top right of the screen.
However, on my Android tablet, there is no sign of the podium icon.
Maybe it's only available on android phones? Maybe they'll take it away tomorrow and suggest I subscribe to see it again, as they did with the Wordle bot.
Ps : I did not bake up the wrong tree today, I barked up it. Stupid either way lol
-
I do both wordle and connections on Tablet
Just looked at Android phone and there it was . Admire results
I've got 77% PC strike rate and a current streak of 2. Record streak 8
Sure I did 20 in one shot on real game not Archive
Even 8 seems a lot though, comparable to 80 on wordle
Cheers for the tip that they were there and how to view them
-
Failed today list 2 lives getting the B and two more trying for the G
Very poor effort.
-
No problem Wolfie although I have to mention my win rate is 78% lol
-
Make that 79%. Rattled through it in order and knew the P.
-
I'll look as I got today's right so may have gone up ?
Useful though as I don't have to keep my streak on here
Today

Lost a life

Must have misread yesterday ... today I'm on 71 % which makes sense as I lose more than you

Lost 2 lives getting GB, then failed. At no point was I confident of anything lol.

How many of us knew the meaning of 'homophone' before Connections lol??

Got to admit "no" I didn't. But then when you break it down I suppose it works .... a bit like Ponte Fract .

Another perfect, but had totally wrong Connection for the P, so a fortunate 'perfect'.
YGPB
-
Almost the same but 4 for 0 in order
Had 3 lined up for Y and looked for a 4th. Convinced myself one word fitted the bill but as I was about to lose a life I shouted **** , **** you stupid **** ( nobody disagreed )
I swapped to my new "certainty" and got Y
For me that was key and I added
G
B
P
Didn't try to solve P but I knew 2 of them and other 2 would have needed " speciality" knowledge
I've used **** to give no clues for later players. **** represents a word of any length

had to eliminate one before getting it 3rd row as the wrong one disappeared into the Y section
Completed 63 Win% 73 Streak 6 Highest 8 fio
-
Are they getting easier? YGBP. In no time. No lives lost.
-
Today's DOD is 36 the lowest since my records began lol. Yesterday's was 68
People get paid to play in advance and find glitches and their results amalgamated to provide the DOD
Wordle first then I hope to find the DOD is accurate lol

Link broken so no DOD

See Wordle for my result. Can’t be arsed to repost it.

Back on the horse after yesterday's fail with a perfect BGYP. Not that perfect as I wouldn't have got the P connection in 100 years.

Today's DOD 60

60 way too low
Y
G
8 random words 4 lives left . No contest
Was one away 3 times perming but from what ?
B no idea and wouldn't have ever got that
P ditto a complete car crash for me
I really tried to solve them* but in the end guesswork got what it deserved
* Even found 3 State abbreviations even though they had been out the other day !
-
No chance today
-
Miserable fail only got Y.

And a 60 DOD ? Laughable .

Might have been ok for the Colonials.

Another perfect BYGP and today I knew the P too.
Good start to the day!

DOD 44

Wow. Couldn't see a way in . Thought I might gaze all day without seeing anything
I had a set with 5 in it but darent risk , then after a 5th shuffle I spotted another possibility. I got 3 and then the 4th came from the 5

G
2+2
B
P no idea on this one

Back to nil. Another wtf despite several shuffles
Then got Y
B
More shuffles but got inspiration as 3 of the 8 had a Connection (to me). So I persisted and lost 4 to what turned out to be Green.
I didn't notice the American spelling of one which was crucial
P was a complete mystery ( as was Green too it could be argued )

It don’t half help with those homophones Wolfe.

If you didn't like homophones would you be a homophonephobic?

I read this article from a Connections fan who said he always reads them aloud first.

Yes , my first action is " the Mug Shuffle"
My second should become " the Head read aloud".
I misread you earlier post and was looking for homophones. The one beginning with a B I was earmarking for the Green category ... possibly with US spelling
When I saw the answers P was there to be got and again well spotted
I haven't come across one yet as I do the Archives , and about 100 done , 15 ignored for now so I will check them out next

Still touring thel lesser known Lancashire outposts. Currently near, but not at Bury at 00.37.

Well done Wolfie, better than me just got Y then no idea.

Got one line , went down wrong route on next no clue on B
-
Oh FFS, another fail. YG then had the P connection in my sights but had a 1a and abandoned it and chased non Connections to oblivion.
If any of us get the B connection, I'll come and cut your grass!
-
Solved. Got the G then had to go out for myThursday food deliveries, not confident I’d solve it.
Came back, thought I’d no chance.
Got the Y.
Lost 3 lives trying for the Nice group.
Fluked it on the last guess.
No idea at all on the B, so Mug can keep his lawnmower int shed.

That's how I lost my life

I had 4 Steaks ready to go and had one of those no , no , too simple perhaps so backed out and I think the Y took one of them and G another so it paid off for once

Interesting and enjoyable Victory today.
2 lives lost on non connections, then BP in quick succession.
Then with my brain screaming 'You've got the (alleged) hard connections so the last 2 should be simple', I got a 1a then everything became obvious and I finished GY with 1 life left.
-
Can't see the DOD but home losing 1 life and P first !

An unsatisfactory 4 as I was assisted by search
Didn't know what one of words was and having searched it went straight to , "today's Yellow Connections are ..."

Well that was the flukiest win ever.
At no point was I sure of any Connection.
Got the P with a luck punt on the 4th connection.
Got the Y with a lucky guess at the 4th connection.
Lost a life getting the B with no idea what the connection was. And still haven't quite worked it out.
G fell into place but at least I could see the Connection.
-
Solved without the tribulations of you lot, no idea of the blue. No lives lost.

Must admit after P last gasp , I just entered the 4 Blues and didn't even look at the Connection
Looking back I can see Philly Philadelphia Cheese steak and Brussels Sprouts and Buffalo will probably be the Wings
So Cities giving names to food items. Still don't know the Broil.
Edit .... Had to find this and it is London ! Never heard that and the info says first cooked in Philadelphia
-
This game is too Americanised isn’t it?
-
Yes it’s a pain.
-
Got 2 lines the burnt all lives chasing a fourth connection on what wasxa wrong answer

DOD 52 ....
Like tfe I was out of the blocks with Y & G
Now staring blankly at 8 seemingly unconnected words and 4 lives and unlimited shuffles

No loss PYGB. No idea about the Blues.
Streak of 8 chasing my max streak of 10.
-
go go go MUG !
I got the B though slightly at a tangent or lateral reason to the real connection
-
Failed. Lost 3 lives chasing the Purple, unlucky really, went all round it, then decided a connection was sand, as in sand dune, sand fly, sand bank etc
So lost the last one.
Ashamed.
-
I was convinced yellow was zero, so was lucky
-
Failed. Lost 3 lives chasing the Purple, unlucky really, went all round it, then decided a connection was sand, as in sand dune, sand fly, sand bank etc
So lost the last one.
Ashamed.
Boo shame shame. I nearly fell for P as there were at least 5 possibilities but added a Prefix and risked it and boom a P on my least favourite topic
-
Yeah i should have left the P alone and sorted another out, but you live and learn (maybe!)
-
DOD of 84 ???

Yahoo ... that's not a clue !
Home without loss of life
Y
G
Then stuck , made a Tea came back and thought how about .....
P
B didn't try to solve but should have got it
84 DOD seems massively high
-
Ooh the tension mounts as my streak moves to 9.
YP.
Life lost on non existent connection.
G and knew the B.
-
That DoD is ridiculous.
-
Agree ... I looked back at the definition again today just to make sure I had it the right way round !
Today’s difficulty
The difficulty of each puzzle is determined by averaging the ratings provided by a panel of testers who are paid to solve each puzzle in advance to help us catch bugs, inconsistencies and other issues. A higher rating means the puzzle is more difficult.
Today’s difficulty is 4.2 out of 5.

After yesterday’s calamity, today was a doddle, no mistakes. Had an idea what the blue was n all.

YPBG.
Maximum streak of 10 equalled.
Will I break it?
Tune in tomorrow kids!

Good luck . A DOD of 96 might help
I wouldn't want a 34 for example.
Still say it's invertialy proportional to reality

Max streak broken and moves to 11. Bit easy really.

I've taken TT's advice on board for a while, and whilst I don't always spot them immediately, the most spotable one was 2nd in line after I shuffled.

Surrended at the end
Lost without getting anything right and WORSE...... a second day in a row with one of each Colour again
Opening guess.

After 15 successive victories, an abject fail. In a rush as I've got the plumber coming
3 x 1 aways and a 2 away.
Poor show.

Then long thinks between each one.

46 and since I wrote it I have solved the Y only
25 minutes to get 1 but worse I just can't see anything else.

My philosophy today. Just get it over with , though I missed a sort of Homophone in Blues that may have helped.
We almost need a "Connections discuss today's here" Thread because it's hard to mention anything or discuss anything as others are possibly yet to do it and by tomorrow it's ancient history lol
-
Horrible today and too American.

With 8 left I spotted 4 that would fit even though one was back to front
P
B had no idea on 2 of them
I'll stick to doing puzzle or surrender next time. I've got 3 in a row but feels wrong

Failed on the coach to Ashbourne
Was happy to get the Y but bombed out on the rest. One away on B and P so had an idea what the connections were.

Yeah but did you solve it today or not?
Cant tell from that blurb!

Yes . But outside assistance as I read G was something to do with Road Runner
Had got Y early but then totally stuck
Once I got the G gifted to me I had 3 lives left and it's usually easier
P I could see 3 but needed to guess at Honor (Roll) hoping it was Roll of Honour to us
So yes ... Home yesterday but aided by "outside" help which cheapens the win

1 away meant I went away and got summat else
-
Well it may have had a low DoD but it did for me.
4x 1a so an abject fail.
-
Found it dead straight forward today
Funny how you see them differently
-
DOD of 50 today fwiw.
A 50 50 shot of making 6 for the first time in weeks ?
-
Yeees I did it 6 and stopped off at Wordle to solve it first so about 6 minutes for the 2
To paraphrase Mug an Amoeba would get this.

P had 3 of them but not the 4th and for not the exact reason

GBPY. Would not have got the Y if you'd asked me to get it first.
Not happy with the make up of today's puzzle.
-
It's the 500th version apparently today so thet celebrated with a novel idea which you probably noticed.
-
Noticed that after first line so it helped
-
Solved eventually. No chance with the yellow. I cottoned on to the colour thing which helped with the green.
B
P
G
Y
-
I saw a 4 or 5 connection and went for it , but it didn't register that it was the colour that matched the Connections colour
So "oblivious of Thorne" went back to NIl
-
DOD 70 today fwiw
Having a day off . My heads a shed
-
Have a look later Wolfie.
Ive been staring at it for 10 mins, got the Y (but that was more a process of elimination) so looks a real stinker today.
-
Desperate fail. Stay well away Wolfie lol.
Zero groups achieved.
1a from the Y twice, 1 fail and 1 Plank (1 from each colour group).

Doddle. Fastest ever. YBGP. No lives lost.

DOD just 46 fwiw. Doesn't detract from anyone winning
Still think it's inverse in its efficacy

Home without loss and in order
Clever today though as I found 3 for Y G & B and no clear cut 4th till I got Y

Very pleased with PYBG.
Lost a 1a life before I got the P.

Got the purple and the blue but not the others.
So that’s my streak finished at 48 in a row!
50 was soooo close!
Start again tomorrow.
-
Another one I was pleased to get.
Lost a life trying for what turned out to be the P. Not even 1a so changed tack and fired in GBPY.

DOD fwiw is 76 which is v v high

Bizarre . 76 ?

1 life lost to what I thought was a "thing" but produced a 1 of each colour fail
Then strictly in order
Y

P ( agree with TT wtf )
-
Matched and agreed with DW, bar lives losing two chasing a thing
-
YBGP.
Also lost a life on my 1st guess with a 'one of each kind' guess. Would never have got the P.
Off for my Covid jab now.
-
Agree on P ...
Even now there is one I can't yet fathom

DOD fwiw 66

GBPY.
Lost 2 lives en route which I'm blaming on having both Covid and Flu jabs yesterday.
Woke up at midnight, sweating profusely, head banging, both biceps throbbing, all limb joints aching.
Does anyone know of a 4th Division football club forum where I can report this Vaccine related incident and get a measured response from it's members??
-
Lightweight.
I had covid and flu jabs together.
Later that night both of my arms swelled up so much they exploded.
A right mess they made of the bedroom ceiling.
A couple of bandages and a bottle of Stardrops later, I was soon back in the arms of Morpheous.
-
Just me again then !

5 in a row ,no lives lost

DOD fwiw of 52

Solved in order but not with any conviction
Y

B lost 2 ( no idea of Connection ... More like perming)
P not sure I would have got that either
But do do do dooooo Streak now 1
-
Fluked it. PY with ease.
Then 3 x 1a failures going for G.
Got G and B was a given.
I was barking up the wrong tree with what I thought was the G connection and would never have got the B.
But a wins a win and my streak moves to 8.
-
My all time record is 8 but I am so far away at the moment on 1
Only 7 but it's an Everest ascent in reality.

Y
8 words left and I could see a 3 so guessed at 4th.

Lost 3 lives messing about with one bit, changed tack, got the purple and solved it.
P
G
Y

Streak of 8 comes to a deserved end.
Lost a life.
P
Lost 3 x 1a lives chasing the Y. Changed from my recent successful tactic and this is the result.
Won nowt on the Premium Bonds.
Just need Rovers to get beaten this afternoon to cap a crap day.
-
Pls elaborate on recent successful tactic if you can
I still find it odd that I can't get near 8 and some days I look at the words as if they are in hieroglyphics and I have not a clue
Today with a DOD of 60 I feared such a day but no could clearly see 4 which turned out to be G
Then looked again and saw 4 which I was suspicious of but really didn't see a 5th candidate
Boom Y
Once down to 8 , 3 stood (stud) out so I selected a 4th , it being the most likely and it came in
The Blues should have been the P imo
-
The tactic I've been using recently is, when I get a 1 away incorrect guess, I keep those 4 selections highlighted and look at the remaining 8 words to see if I can link any of them to one of the highlighted 4.
If I can, I then try and find another of the 8 that links in and so on.
Today when I got 1a I just kept firing in guess after guess trying to perm the possibilities without looking at the bigger picture.
Does that make sense lol?
-
I do that too mug.
-
I'll try it

Today's DOD fwiw is 72 and here's me closing in on my best of 8 .... Lol
-
Scraped in.
3 x 1a before finally getting
GYBP.
Sat for 5 mins trying to work out what the P connection was but decided that a wins a win, and pressed the button.
And no, I didn't follow my own sage advice when I kept getting the 1a's because I'm a rebel.
-
Well , thanks to you and TT for the tip on 1 always
As with the Shuffling I will stick with what works for me and without the 1a tip I would be back at O not looking at a record equaling 8 tomorrow
Here's why
Fail with 2 -2
Y
1aG
1aG
G
Only 1life left but 4 looked related and 4 didn't
B was in sharp focus
P didn't look related
Seeing P answer I thought wow I see it but tbh still working on 1 of them

Solved eventually in 2 visits,one before and one after my deliveries.
No mistakes, upset wi missen for not getting the purple as I like those type of quizzes

Couldn't get more than 2 of last two , sort of worked them out but just wrong options

DOD fwiw 56 .... will I equal my 8 ?

Y
G
8 Left but no way in.
Looked for a while then permed ... Lucky
G though I only connected 2
P I should have seen 3
All round luck ( saved by getting first 2 without loss )
-
Failed. Y and B without a problem.
Then 4 guesses which were just that, guesses as I had no idea.
And I'm not much better off now the puzzle has been revealed. The P especially so.
-
Solved with a lucky guess getting the green.
Like Wolfie had 4 lives left, used 3 of them before getting the green.
Purple a bit obscure, but gettable I suppose.
Y
B
G
P
-
DOD for what it's worth is "just" 40 .
One of lowest I can remember but the last one "did for me"
-
Yes ... Officially via the Stats a new record of 9 for me.
Have been higher but stats got wiped
Y was for real not a trick
G I did the highlight 3 trick and "it came"
Then previously unrelated words bunched into another 4
B
P with 4 guesses left
Tbf someone will get the Purple first I think , and overall it deserved a 40 rating today
COYR

It may have a low DoD but I lost 2 lives getting it.
Lost a 1a.life.
YG.
Lost another life on an incorrect connection.

Seat buddy who I hooked a few months back into Connections failed today on his record streak of 11
He got Y G then had 2 1a B then 2 1a P
He said 11 is your next target then , so I responded Game on , as we are very competitive , but I'll have to take each game as it comes :lol: :lol: :lol:

Another no loss win

P wouldn't have got
If they ever change to " get them in this order " to win , it would be a whole different game

I then stupidly thought I'd got it's measure
I then lost my Stats taking the 20 away and have been stuck on a streak of 8 though I couldn't get past 5 for ages ( Proof that I certainly HADNT "got its measure"
Now I'm back in the heady heights of 18 so would appreciate at least 2 more of these lol

Poor today. Sleep deprived as Granddaughter here.
Didn't follow my own advice by ploughing on with 3 x 1a before getting Y.

Eventually realised what 3 of the purples were and guessed the other

Ditto for me. Fancied 3 P and decided to try the most " feasible or logical" and it came up
Then had to look why and it made sense of the drawing they showed where I look for DOD
Perhaps I ought to stop looking as it's a clue , not that it helps many times ( including today )

Lost last 2 x 1a chasing B.
If I'd have stopped for 10 seconds to ponder the P, instead of blindly looking for the B, I'd have done it with lives to spare.

Took one look at this and thought NO!
So put in 4 wrong guesses and that was that.

Lost last 2 lives looking for the B. Right Connection, wrong guesses.

I'm surprised with the one I didn't get but getting P which was "gettable" would have helped by reducing the options

Abject fail. A couple of one aways chasing what turned out to be the Y.
Glad it's over .

Will have another look now.

Just a normal fail today. A step up from yesterday's abject fail.
2 x 1a chasing what turned out to be Y(!).
A fail chasing a wrong Connection.
G,P.
8 letters left. 1 guess left.
1a chasing what turned out to be Y (again).
Maybe I'd have done better if they'd used pictures instead of words? Oh, wait a minute.....

A right battle, but success.
Lost 2 lives chasing a wrong Connection.
BG.
Lost another life chasing the Y.
P by default.
Didn't Connect 2 of the P's and will Google them.
Still, as we always say, a win's a win.
-
It says DOD of 68 but I think not
Exhibit A
B
Y
G
P
No lives lost. Having 8 words left zeroes it in every time so I found G easier
P . People will see that whereas I didn't but as I say with 4 lives left I couldn't really NOT get it right
PS . makes more sense than yesterdays lol

Nice and easy today. Straight through no lives lost.
Didn’t bother with the purple, good job, I’d have been here all day.

Struggling today. Can't see a single Connection. Have to have another look after my walk .

Agree Mug
I had 12 unconnected Words
Eventually I got Green then Yellow
I then had 8 unconnected Words and 4 lives
Perming was my only option

Still no wiser when I read answers
-
It was hard today, only got a start as one item was named in a film I watched yesterday weirdly enough and it was a clue to get doing
-
Looking back at the P I suppose you could see the Connection with 2 standing out and then the others made sense
I however permed while not knowing their connection.
I should have looked when I was 1 away for the connection rather than just guessing a random word from remainder
-
I’ve got the Y and cant even make any sort of guess on the rest so it’s a fail.
-
Green yellow blue purple , only got purple as it was last, never in a month of Sundays
-
No, no and thrice no. Got the G but only after 3 X 1a guesses.
Not a clue thereafter.

lost 2 lives trying for a Connection that didn't exist

It made perming easier
Y didn't know what the Connection was
P would never have got that by next Christmas Eve
I was pleased to get B and thought I was home and hosed. Streak of 1 it says but I make it 3 . Think site is doing a Morrisons
-
Easy today. The Y leapt out at me so thought it was too obvious so went GB .
Reassessed, plucked up the courage to insert the Y and guessed the P Connection , despite only knowing 1 of them!

Gimme a clue . Which one of the three lol

Edit. Got G , more in hope than knowledge but they represented a connection I suppose
3 left with 8 words

Oh dear Mug. Off to Southwell races in a bit.
Wont ask you for any tips after your debacle today!

Wind and Waters great great grandsons there ?
Flamborough Head (last) , it's in the genes

Back.
5 bets. No winners ffs.
-
Back.
5 bets. No winners ffs.
The only profitable way of gambling I've found is to lay short priced favourites on all weather tracks.
The horses are generally so bad and the races so lacking in quality, you get 6/4 favourites whose Form analysis reads '21 races since his last win in 2022'. Not a glowing endorsement iss it lol?
-
I’ve done that missen on betfair Mug, as well as backing around 3/1 with the best form to place with progressive staking.
Also laying shorties with debatable form to be unplaced.(once layed a horse at 1.03, won £1000 for a £30 risk)
Trouble is I get bored with it and end up going back to win bets. Doing ok lately, not today though.
-
DOD fwiw 80 today . Can't remember such a high one
Edit after 5 mins it's more than an 80 lol
Streak buster for me ?

P
Y was a given.

It's a no from me too, my fault too
1a yellow

Fail.
Lost a life..
Y
Big think.
P
Lost all remaining lives going for the G.
-
Solved lost two lives. Cheated a bit as looked up definitions for Mogul which helped getting the green. Brainwave ont purple.
BGPY
-
I wouldn’t say that looking up a definition or the meaning of a word is cheating.

The only plus today is Micky Ealker isn't being loud and talkinging bollox
-
A no fail win
G
Y invented my own connection
B
P
-
Ditto tfe
Solved with no lives lost and in order. I had superb idea for P but didn't try it ( thankfully )
Did not spot the real connection till answers came up lol . I must remember P is usually " word play"

Glad to get the purple first.

Well aren't you a clever bunch!!
Total fail. 3 x1a on 2 groups, then a fail.

The B can't be that obvious can it? I mean it's so obvious, it can't be, surely?
It was. B

Went for the obvious so done in no time.
Like the purple, knew it when it was the only one left.

I read this thread before posting.

Made G then Y a lot easier
P solved itself , thankfully !

Contrary to every one else, this was my longest ever Connections.
Got the Green straight off, so confidence high.
2 x 1a yellow.
Blue.
Stared at 8 words. I know the Yellow Connection, this should be easy.
Normally I'd plonk another guess in, just to get it over with but I had an optician appt so left it hanging.
After the optician I went on a walk and was thinking of what I considered the outlier of the 8 words, 'William'.
Had a eureka moment and got the P and then the Y was a given.
-
I'm neither "here nor there" today
Yes I got there eventually , but not easily maybe 15 minutes thanks to a lucky guess on G
They looked spurious and I didn't spot the P at all.

I'll give it a miss tomorrow , maybe for a few days . Cheers wolfie

At least I had a good day at Cheltenham yesterday. 6 selections. First 5 all finished unplaced, but I didn't have a bet. Last one I thought 'Sod it' and had £2 on at 9.5/1. Won by 6 lengths but I did cash out at the final fence, as there looked to be 6 horses coming to challenge.
But still a profitable day.
-
I had an E/W yankee. None of them placed.
Backed 3 horses in the 24 runner chase. One fell the other two pulled up.

Backed 3 horses in the 24 runner chase. One fell the other two pulled up.
Whilst I enjoy watching it, I was told a long time ago by an old gambler, when I questioned why he'd only have one bet a day, sometimes none, whereas I'd be having a couple of 5p Yankees a day, 'Son', he said, 'It's hard enough finding 1 winner a day, never mind 4'.
Only took me 40 years to follow his advice.
(He was the guy who told me to back a 2yo horse for the following years Derby. I didn't and at the start of the next season he asked if I'd backed it. I said no. He said 'Well it's running at Sandown on Saturday. If it wins it'll be favourite for the Derby. So I banged a fiver on it @ 33/1, which was a massive bet for me at the time. (And still is lol).
It duly won and became favourite for the Derby. I had a couple of bets on it at much shorter prices subsequently too.
It was called Shergar and won the Derby by 10 lengths and is still the largest amount of cash I've ever won! (I think I was on £32.50 a week at work).

Fail too.
Got B and G
Then 4 random guesses.
No chance.

I got the B straight off. The Y much longer . But stuck . Yet you both got G
4 lives left. Perming coming up but I can't see where to start lol
-
I honestly could only see Mack Black and Back with any connection at all (that they rhymed which seemed a little thin ) and of course there wasn't a 4th
I had no other "idea" whatsoever so went for the longest 3 words and then Permed the next longest words. Of course it didn't work and in fact the shortest word was actually in that group

I did get the Y before failing though.

You've heartened me lots . Been to Wildlife Park to avoid the seemingly inevitable
For once it seems 84 dod actually accurate

FFS 21 00 and finally conceded / got panned. If that's an 84 I don't want to see a 90
I got 2 right in total but look at this "mess"
First guess Fail with the embarrassing one of each Colour
Second guess GREEN
Third guess FAIL only 3 colours left and I managed 2 blue 1 yellow 1 purple
Fourth guess .... as above 2b1y1p
Fifth guess YELLOW

Lost 3 lives getting the green, then got it for the wrong reason.
Got the yellow, then lost last life with a wrong guess on the Blue.
Didn’t know the B though the P was gettable.

Got the yellow after a life lost, then nowhere near
-
Exactly that. I fell for the obvious , thinking they haven't been traps lately , but it was
Got Green as I've seen the subject matter a lot but still have 8 seemingly unconnected words to go at but 3 lives to find 4 of them
-
Fluked it. Apologies all round.
Bought the obvious dummy then got Y.
10 mins and I got P.
8 words to juggle. Took a deep breath and was 1a B, then I nailed it.

That's why I said Damn at the beginning bcos I then spent longer trying to split the G and the P and get the luckiest of wins !
After 15 mins I had no idea so opted for a wild guess and my Streak of 1 was gone. Damn
-
An April Fools perhaps ?
I do Wordscapes and am seething after they printed the grid really dark you couldn't really see where letters were to go
I didn't twig
I spotted big word straight off as Reflect . It said not there . I couldn't see an anagram of that so tried shorter words like left feel free reef
Every one was rejected. I got to 10 rejections before thinking ( unprintable ) the words are reversed !!!
Even then it was hard to reverse reflect into a box you could barely see
I have one consolation as Mrs DW LOVES this game and hasn't started on it yet. If they did the same last year she will remember ..... if not I'll get my Tin hat out !

Complete and utter carnage today

After that not a single guess was worth a 1 away
Looked like a Today colour Crossword
The only serious idea I had was Films with 1 word Titles. Hook , Speed etc and for me that wasn't bad but was awarded 3 different colours
I spent ages prior to that REALLY looking but in truth I was routed.
I had 3 lives left and realized I was buggered so picked the 4 words at bottom
Then the 4 words in the middle
Then the 4 words below my single gleam of success , the Yellow
And this was a DOD of 54 supposedly , imo 94 would have been nearer
Roll on tonight , then tomorrow
-
Looks like you had a bigger battle with this than the Rovers did at Salford Wolfie.
A few years ago Mrs T and me were in a Greek Tragedy at Wakefield Theatre Royal no less.
Trojan Women by Euripedes.
Christ it was deep.
So I remembered Chorus and Hubris etc from that.
-
Done quickly with a lucky guess on the Blue, knew 3 of em and thought the guess was the most likely.
And so it proved.
Can see now what the purple is, but would take some getting.

A bit of a fight due to my stubbornness.

3 x 1a B. Finally took my own advice and looked elsewhere and then the Y was obvious.

After P B start I tried to do it in reverse ! But Yellow popped up

Odd one for me today. I think it's pretty straightforward.
Lost 2 x1a lives attempting P.

I seem to remember having a similar run at this time, last year, when I hit my highest ever streak, 15.

Very clever puzzle today with several mixed options. Lost two lives before getting it in reverse order to the norm.

It was then I think we would concur a bit of a false DOD of 46
8 lives lost between us . Mine were 3 straight off the bat and I was close to chucking towel in but "regrouped".
Is regrouping possible for an individual. They all seem to say it these days lol

Skipped through it today , like a Moly through Bradford
I tried a first ( for me ) trying to solve it on paper B4 commiting myself

Fluked it. YG were easy, then 2 x 1a B, knew 3 of them, then guessed the right 4th one.

After much brain strain gave up and gave it to MrsT to have a go.

Bit of a head scratcher as I lost 2 lives, but in for YBGP.

Just had myself doubting the DOD . Had I been wrong all along and 90 was in fact the ease of solving
I was prepared for humiliation for being so wrong for so long
But NO I rechecked and today's was indeed 4.5 out of 5 with the higher the number , the more difficult the puzzle

Steady victory with no lives lost.

First off, I could see nothing, despite a few shuffles. Some of the words, I've never heard of. Then. ......
3 x 1a Y.
Y
G (only got this as 3 of them lined up together after another shuffle).
B (after lots of thought, I gave up and banged 4 in. Got lucky)
P
Never in a million years would I have got the P.

Lost two lives but solved it luckily.
For the first time ever I’d never have got the yellow.

Totally totally lucky. After yesterday I looked for a while and mentally gave up
An hour later I opened up but no miracle so I picked 4 I thought were connected and a trap
B . Nearly fell off sofa
Y . Logic when you look I suppose
So 8 unconnected words and fell for 4 of them
2G2P*
Kept 2 and picked another 2 to get it over with
G
P wtf. Another I wouldn't have got I don't think
* I will stick the 4 I picked and why tomorrow. You won't believe my logic / desperation

Well that was a spectacularly crap performance from us today. Worsened for me as Mrs Mug did it with no lives lost and has already reminded me of this fact twice.

Women are so competitive. Mrs T always tries to ‘beat’ me at Wordle, getting it in fewer guesses.
This happens now and again and when it doesn’t (very often) it’s because I’m lucky.

After seeing only Draw and Suck earlier I opened it up and immediately saw the Connection that turned out to be P
And without losing a life I went through the lot and got first time ever completely solved in reverse finishing with the Yellow which I darent go for cos I could only see 3 (Wick was the one I didn't twig)

Blindsided myself "convinced" these were Roads. Wall St Rodeo ( Drive ) Hollywood and just had to find the 4th but I never did
Unfortunately 3 of them were also in the Blue connection for a totally different reason so I thought I was on the right track getting 1@ 4 times
Oh well . I should have seen the P but I'm truth didn't look closely at them

Safe to discuss now I suppose. The Y , cost me 3 and also almost a defeat but Coaster saved me from the defeat
I'd resisted it as I was drinking coffee from a Cup on a heart shaped coaster and delivered to to Mrs Wolfie placed on a square Coaster
3 I can agree with and my first fail came with Carousel unquestionably round
I tried Teacup which I admit aren't always round but I reckoned it's only square ish when used for Coffee
I tried Clock which again isnt technically round but knew that Coasters did and do come in all shapes so preferred Clock
Ergo ... Couldn't see the P so selected Coaster and boom , saved , won and just spotted on Coffee Table as I finish this 4 Coasters in shape of Palm Leaves
-
Lol Wofie!
Its a wonder you solve owt with all the variables you invent.
I had a clock with 8 sides once on the kitchen wall and a coaster shaped like a coaster, the ship type of coaster.

EDIT. Just seen your comments and we all had trouble with that pesky B.
I was certain one of the P's was in that group, but no.

Well my tactic worked. I came back and decided on the 3 I thought were the Blues.
I looked for most likely and boom Purple
I looked at the B answer and wouldn't have got it Id and Charm ok but other 2 especially 1 in particular I'd never heard of
So a heady 1 more than I declared yesterday as I can't remember lol

Hi Mug and TFE
Have your surnames ( not phishing ) appeared in Connections yet
Mines in today and seen TTs a couple of times
From your Post 2140 above , statistically I think the DOD has been lower for a few weeks
I always put fwiw as the Panel I'm guessing benefit from it being USA centric so they mop up Connections that I don't see. For instance words like faucet which we all know of of course but many others and particularly slang or " younger element" words
However personally sometimes I can skate, sail, sweep or sashay through an 80 DOD while struggling massively , even failing often on puzzles when the Stats are way down l-o-w
I guess I haven't answered your question in any way but what I can say is I can get hopelessly lost sometimes though I havent surrendered without trying lately , but I have often permed when I have had no clue especially lately
Yesterday I shared a joke with TT though it was factual #2153 above
I was stuck but fancied 3 of the 8 remaining ones to be Connected by being about Hallway . Looking for a 4th I picked Pipe as in to a Radiator which was wrong lol
I thought it then had to be Console but is that referring to an Alarm System. I didn't know but thankfully right
-
Bit of a fluke. Lost one life then YGPB.
Spotted 3 of the P and of the 5 words left, only 1 looked like a possible fit. And it was.
I shall now Google that word and report back.
Googled it. No better off lol.
-
The 'Console' referred to yesterday was console table. A small table to put your car keys on, when you come through the door.
You're obviously not watching enough 'Salvage Hunters' lol.
My surname would only feature if they did a 'British astronauts' connection and there needs to be a few more for that to happen.
-
Cheers
Every day a School day , so proved my theory as I got B yesterday in a fluke. Never heard of Console Table
Haven't watched Salvage Hunters but have watched Crimewatch and lots of other progs warning people not to leave Keys visible in Hallways though lol
Keys fished off table ? Keys literally fished off Radiators or easy to grab in a (is it Bangkok ) Robbery.
I still think Pipe was viable lol at least with Wordle the answer is definitive not subjective lol
-
I had a console table years ago. Gets in the wsy though so got rid.
Great show Salvage Hunters.

By the way Mug, I’ve known
John Brink-Plunger for about 50 years.

Wordle another Taffy like word but got there.

I think Connections is one of those games where you are more likely to fail if you embark with a negative frame of mind.
I've had runs of failures where I was beaten before I'd started, purely down to attitude.
On this current run, I start every puzzle thinking I will succeed and even if at first it looks daunting, I take my time rather than rushing in.
A new tactic I use is I look at the 2 words in the top left of the puzzle and keep shuffling, until I spot a Connection between those 2 words, then look to see if anything else would fit in.
That's how I got the P first today.
Plus I've done better since the homophones man got the sack!
-
Lol
Must admit I was bamboozled from seeing it today
Still bamboozled after I saw results
But you were right . I was in surrender mode once I went 2 x Y fail
At least I get a few attempts now without the will I get it , will I get a streak
I'm happy enough with 20 because I was sure I had reached 20 before in the past but no evidence
At least now I have it in my locker now
-
Well, after explaining the secrets of my success yesterday, I failed abjectedly today.
Nada. Zilch. Nothing.
3 x1a Y and a wrong Connection.
Dismal.

Thought I was a cert for the quadruple fail but managed to solve it with one life left.

I'm somewhere in between the 2 of you (literally).

Got G thought "iffy" or trick
Portcullis firmly down though
8 words 4 lives and 11,254 shuffles already gone , but only idea is the multiple words
It's not supposed to be that difficult 56 but it is

After a temporary blip yesterday, back to the fails. Went down too many Judy Garland themed rabbit holes.

Lol TT. I started down a 'Rock' rabbit hole, but then got back on track with YBPG.
For the B and P, I had 3 out of 4 and guessed the last one correctly.
As for the G? I don't like it.

7 races with 35 horses in total ... One race has 8 runners another 7. Keep money in pocket.
We went to Dubai for Anna's 60 th and went to Nad el Sheba for a meeting so I'll have to go with Hawa Jumeirah. One bet that's it lol
-
I assume you’re on about Ponte today Wolfie.
I was thinking of going, love Ponte races, but so few runners and it will be absolutely mobbed so giving it a miss.
-
No, not today. Got the Y and then skirted round all 3 of the others without nailing them.
I once skived off work in my new Company BMW, and went to Ponte races. It pissed it down, I had no winners and got the car stuck in axke deep mud getting out of the car park and had to be pulled out by a tractor.
Not in a hurry to return lol
-
Yeah mug.
I always seem to do well at Ponte, so that’s maybe why I love it. If I’d had your experience, maybe not.
Once backed first 5 winners and got the placepot up which paid £600+ to my £5 stake.
-
Yeah mug.

In all the time I've been backing horses (50 years lol) , the most winners I've had at a single meeting is 4 lol.
But I have never been a short price favourite backer. I always try and find a ' value' bet. (Unfortunately my money often ends up in the Bookies satchel).
-
Did absolutely s**t at the Races and then just now as I had no idea
With connections I thought better "die" rather than " not try " so I did get G then Y then like every Horse I backed I simply crumbled
-
Just had the one bet at Ponte. It looked like winning but got beat by a neck.
-
Nowhere near today. Even after failing and seeing the answers, I'm no better off.
-
Managed to get the G, impossible otherwise.
-
I'm with you 2 and my Seat Buddy who simply said "good luck"
This has a DOD of 56 and after we have been doing it this long I'm again aghast that I can look at 16 words and not find 3 that are ( only potentially ) linked.
Again I'll throw myself on my sword. I was a magician at Ponte . I only had to pass a man in a box 5 pounds and whisper a name to them to immediately turn a horse into a snail , but pity I can't call up similar powers now.

2263 above
Agree we generally have improved. Pity there isn't a graph we could call up to show the success percentage rising
One thing that hasn't changed .... It's amazing how sometimes I skate it and the others bomb ... and vice versa.
Today I assumed the Y was a trick , but no it wasn't.
It's strange how today the Words clicked , and strange how yesterday after I got Y the last 12 may as well been written in Greek , yet after 8 hours away and a fail awaiting a non completion , I opened it back up and boom . It might as well have had arrows pointing at each of the 3 sets of 4
I can't understand any of the above , is it caring about doing it , intent , determination ?
I don't know I must admit which has led me into a pretty circular post.

So it was time for inglorious surrender. The only thing I knew was I still had 3 in the bank but no credible 4th
The top line had 3 I thought were connected and so I chucked in the other one in top left
P what , wtf , Victor Meldrew I doooont believe it

Mrs Mug did it in 60 seconds too. I'm in a dark place every time I open the puzzle at the moment. Start with negative thoughts and fail soon after lol
-
You and I seem to have reversed roles.
Ever since your pep talk about being positive , I have REALLY "gone for it" but whilst I am on 9 or maybe 10 I did get totally lucky yesterday when I tried to abandon and solved the last 2 rows
I'll keep going but sometimes I just don't "see" them

You either get it or you don’t.
Sometimes I have a light bulb moment that solves it, sometimes I dont.
No rhyme or reason (great horse that backed it when it won the National) to it.

Yesterday's failure was down to becoming fixated on one Connection. Banana and Canary? Got to be yellow, right? Wrong!

Yahoo. A few shuffles and risked what turned out to be ..
G
Already spotted a potential P but thought , can't see any others but with G out of way the other 3 Ps were sat laughing at me
P
8 left and 4 B were all lined up on top line
B
And of course the Ys were all a long bottom line
Chuffed today as it looked a bugger but after Wordle I was glad to get a rest lol

-
Wow. It all started so well.
GY.
I look and I see both remaining Connections, but only knew 3 of the components of each.
2 x 1a P
1 x1a B.
Last chance, got the P.
The B? Googled the odd one, and it's a North American word apparently.
-
Could see a Word like Connecticut the other day and outlier and thought add Letter to make a word. Looked for 3 others and found 2 so left it
Got the G and returned to what I thought was P and did my thing which probably most do
Highlighted the 3 I knew to take them out of picture and added a 4th from the candidates left either because they were not known to me or ludicrous like cafeteria
That left 8 and immediately I could see what I thought would be Y and instead of pressing deselect all I wrongly pressed Enter and found my "guess" was correct
Added Y
B solved itself but really the 4th I'd never heard of and still haven't. North American word ?
Anyway after another War and Peace it's back to the big Garage tidy up. I've got it treed lol
-
Are you smoking weed in there Wolfie?!
-
No, but it's really tidy now.
Plenty of Alcohol in there but reserved for Fridays lol.
I take your point though.

Lost 2 x 1a lives
Y
Tried to get back to sleep as nothing was leaping out at me from the remaining 8 words.
Brain was fizzing though, so went back to puzzle.
Could see 3 clear Connections and wrongly guessed the 4th.
Down to my last life, I guessed correctly

YG in a flash, then fired in 4 wrong guesses going for B in 30 seconds.
Had one of those sleeps last night, which as you get older, you can only dream of. (Pardon the pun).
Slept from midnight to 8 25 without waking.
When I finally came round, I was thirsty, dizzy and a bit disorientated.
So much so, I did Connections before Wordle for the 1st time ever! Which is just a crazy start to the day. Remember, 'without order, there is chaos' a wise man once said. (Gandhi probably. Or Hitler. Or possibly Peter Creamer. I don't know).
Anyway, I'm blaming my failure on my deep sleep and jumping in before I'd come round!
-
You reckless, dangerous fool Mug.
Let’s hope you’ve learned a hard lesson.
Edit
I used to secretly admire Peter Creamer, not much so for his questionable ability as a right back, more for his film star looks and physique.
-
I didn't fancy my chances at 1st glance, but flashed through it.

I was going for VW Car models and with only 8 words left I saw Golf Polo Beetle and from the 5 words left chose "Squash" and not surprisingly was 1@
I took out Squash and picked that other well known VW Bird but wasn't even 1 away ( and wondered why lol)
Then I thought , idiot , I reckon it's Sports. Yes Cricket , Golf , Polo and ... er ... and I STILL didn't think Squash immediately , cos still thinking food or drink ( or VW model )

Agree Mug . I had no idea.
As we've already all declared it may be safe to discuss but if you haven't gone yet please ignore what follows
I had to root here there and everywhere but found this eventually and cut and paster it
That leaves VENDETTA, COOKIE, APPLE, and EFFORT—ah, those are all words that belong in similarly structured phrases/titles. V for Vendetta is a comic, “A is for APPLE” is a phrase/song, E for EFFORT is a phrase, and “C is for COOKIE” is a Sesame Street song.

Googled Forbes Connections and this is what it came up with
Seeing MARVEL and PAC-MAN together, I realized they had to be linked by Miss. or Ms. but it took me a moment to understand what made sense with them. DEGREE seemed obvious (as in a Master of Science DEGREE). But the fourth member of the group actually had me chuckling: MS PAINT, as in Microsoft Paint. That's pretty funny.
I fancied MS was probably some kind of Master of Science but nowt else. Glad I got the others first
-
Thanks Wolfie but I still dont get it.
Who or what is Miss/Ms Pacman or Miss Marvel.
I’ve heard of Miss Marple(Margaret Rutherfords portrayal of Christies sleuth is ma favourite) but that’s not the point.
As if anyone would get MS Paint.
Master of Science in Paint doesn’t align with Master of Science as in a degree.
Unless you can get a degree in Emulsioning.
Maybe you can. If so I should have one, I’ve done plenty, to a high standard, if I say so missen.
-
I think you missed a bit .... crucial bit nearly at the end ... Microsoft Paint. I still don't get Ms Pac-Man though
Anyway I had forgotten that I hadn't chuck my 2ps worth in today

[size=78%].[/size]
EDIT .,... here's the explanation which is ok but Id never heard of a gerund !
As I looked at the remaining words, the purples jumped out. Chasing AMY, Saving PRIVATE RYAN and Leaving LAS VEGAS were all clear enough. Being JOHN MALKOVICH (a film I loved as a teenager) completed the set.
EDIT I looked up gerund as well
What are the three rules of gerund?
There are three simple rules we can use to know when to use -ing with a verb:
The gerund is used at the beginning of a sentence as the subject of the sentence. ...
We use the gerund after prepositions. ...
We use the gerund after certain verbs like suggest, recommend, avoid, risk, or enjoy
So now I know lol
-
One of my favourite old jokes.
Bloke at a dinner party farts
Host says GERUNDer Rover
Bloke thinks Ah, he thinks it’s the dog so lets another rip.
Host sez gerunder Rover.
Bit later he lets another one go
Host sez…. Gerunder Rover before he shits on you.

I can't spell tactically naive but I was today. 30 to nil
Spotted 3 Blues straight off but no obvious 4th
Got Y
Then lost 4 lives trying for a group ( G ) and lost
Would have been better looking for the B as my 3 were right but just tactically nutty as P was eminently gettable
Start over on Nil ... Just didn't turn up today lol
It was a game of 2 halves but only half a brain turned up

Scraped in, losing 3 lives attempting G, before changing tack.

I did exactly that Mug and reported on here but cant see it
I had 8 left completely stumped but had 4 I thought " possible & tried to make a case for the other 4

Streak 0

No no no.

Very pleased to get that after a 15 minute battle. Lost a life , then got YG.

Once I spotted Choral it was 3 times round Sofa plus metaphorical knee slide. Then I pressed Enter lol

Nowhere near , hopeless today

I'm back for water after weeding since dawn lol
I thought , I'll look again and was non the wiser but then got massively jammy
Powers .... Maybe Gary of U2 Spyplane fame. Are they 3 other Surnames . There were . I put them in hoping for at least a 1@
Result Blue. Then I saw reason was not what I hoped but job done . I was non the wiser with them only Powers unless Peel is the one from Armthorpe

Agreed. Got totally lucky yesterday , and Permed today when P was a lot easier than the B

Not today. Raced to a failure.
Y then fannied 4 lives away looking for the B.
Considered nowt else. How many times have we said 'If you're getting 1 aways, look at the remaining words for another Connection '.
Dim!
-
Well that was pretty dismal. Just couldn't see anything, then in desperation I got 2 x1a Y and 2 fails, perming the Y.
Don't know if it's tough or I'm thick.
-
B nearly straight off but kept 1 away for rest fail
-
It was stiff again
Lost 2 to P early doors bcos I had Yellow sorted but thought the definitions were a bit "lame" and ignored it
My Fav film of all time led me to Akeem but to show my ignorance I didn't realize for ages the Surname in BHC but then I got the other 2 in the Group
