News, views AND some Clues re Wordle - Connections

[mugnapper]

I've IMDB'd Eloise and there is a 2003 film starring Julie Andrews called 'Eloise at the Plaza' so I guess it must be that.
Hardly a well-known film, a bit niche that.

Blue today

I guessed at Plant to make a 4 with Pet House Baby thinking no bloody chance

Then realized I'm trying to get someone to look after my 4 Bird of Paradise plants so I can "go away" for a week or so lol

[knockers]

I did the same!

[Donnywolf]

Low DOD counted for nothing

Left with 8 words and 4 lives but I could see (after a think) 3 that connected but nothing that really fitted

I tried them in likelihood and hope of them being right and on last life Scarf was the word !

Who knew ? Not me . Pure luck

P ... Yes I could see I should have connected 2 but I was looking for 4 and 2 of them must be US "things"

[tommy toes]

I wonder if scoff=scarf over there.

[Donnywolf]

Maybe with Dick van Dyke saying it lol

[Donnywolf]

P ... Today 29th

First word of HBO shows ?


I could guess at 1 by word association but even that might be wrong !


Knot hay fore bye too ( for TT ) 

[Donnywolf]

Wordle 30th lol

A as a Yellow

Went Amock but it disallowed it

Went AMONG thinking good maybe a 2
Couldn't see another word at that point

So I stuck in MANGO using N again but thinking at least I might get a Green or 2 ( I didn't)

Could only put A last or 4th though now and it looked like M was favourite for 4th

Even then it took me ages to put DO as first 2.

Dogma ... I didn't look if it had gone ! Thankfully not .

That was a challenge

[Donnywolf]

Lost on Connections

Tried P as Baseball Pitches . Fast ball Curve ball etc but only found 3

I ignored Screw ball as I was thinking Glass and it cost me

[mugnapper]

Well I googled the 2 Purples I'd never heard of and I'm not much better off. Diva especially.

[Donnywolf]

Yes , what a subject for a Connection !

50% to 70% might be Men and probably the non US ladies will have not heard of this

[mugnapper]

My reasoning for the B today was subjects/sections in the Business pages.
God knows what their Connection means.

[mugnapper]

Googled 'Connections Hint' and the clue was 'Subcultures by profession'. I'm no better off.

[tommy toes]

Neither am I ffs.

[Donnywolf]

Blue Category: From digital currencies to pharmaceuticals, each bro has their own hustle.

Yeah ok lol

[Donnywolf]

And another I found ... Still no help

KINDS OF BROS

CRYPTO FINANCE PHARMA TECH

This one is a little harder if you are not sure what you are looking for, but PHARMA and CRYPTO were what tipped me off to what the category might be. I didn’t specifically have “bros” in mind, but I was in the right general direction to know what was going on. It wasn’t hard to add FINANCE back in, but getting TECH in there was a little harder. However, none of the final four words were close enough to confuse me to the point of guessing wrong, it just took a little extra time.

[Donnywolf]

A tip amongst a few I got yesterday looking for above was,  look for the outlier which doesn't seem connected to the others

O was one today once i braved the ring band etc

I never gave O Oscar a seconds thought but I.may have thought Statuette Oscar

That would have been easier perming if 2 were right . But I went after B and tripped by Murphy Bed. Americana again probably

[mugnapper]

I was hot on the trail of Oscars and despite knowing 3 of the bed Connection, kept guessing Oscars of which I was only certain of 2.
The actions of a twit.

[tommy toes]

Knew 3 of the beds, which were obvious.
Tried 0 and then Statuette (God knows why!)
Of the others Murphy seemed the only likely one, so Bingo.
The Oscars thing never crossed my mind.

[tommy toes]

Wordle today put BRAND in on Row two.
So the solution was either BRAIN or BRAWN.
Looked at my rippling biceps and six pack (I wish)
and went for the winner.

[Donnywolf]

Yellow Homophones

I avoided it for ages as I was sure Ewe U Yew were together but surely You couldn't be the 4th could it

Unless they all mean You. Have I missed summat ?

[mugnapper]

I'd have got it today if I'd put my glasses on. What I thought was a B was a chuffing 8 lol.
What a dork!

[knockers]

I thought the green was about boats!

[Donnywolf]

I'd have got it today if I'd put my glasses on. What I thought was a B was a chuffing 8 lol.
What a dork!

Yes a pity because it was imo the "outlier" for today as the Tip I got referred to in #76 above.

I was left with them (P) but getting Super 8 a film , a Motel or a kind of movie making medium would have given me Bowl etc as well

[mugnapper]

I've noticed that in the past the Wordle has had a link to certain holidays that fall on that particular day.
On Halloween the word was 'Ghoul'. ( That may be an outright lie but I can't be arsed to check, but it was summat along those lines).
With that in mind, I went for 'Snowy' first today, instead of my usual start word.
That failed but gave me a 1(0). I bought into my theory further by guessing 'Share' as my second guess and it went all green.
Following my theory, I'm looking at 'Fresh' or 'Start' for 1st January. (If they haven't gone already of course).

Hi Mug , both have been used but on the theme Outgo is still "live"

[Donnywolf]

Wordle in 1 with the outgoing STARE

Connections what a git. Got a G but had lost a life with Melt Wrap Club plus Grinder already.

I then tried 3 others with no conviction and found answer was Hero another name for a Sub in New York State

Ironic because NYS is the home of Subway and I had a brilliant one in Lake Placid ( home of Winter Olympics of 1980 ) 3 years after that in 83

Well done Wolfie, it's a great feeling isn't it?
I think they'll save ADIEU until the last ever puzzle as it's the most used start word apparently and would be very apt.
I scored a nice 2 today which was assisted by the fact that I occasionally call one of my cats 'a ☆☆☆☆☆-eyed freak' and she was pressed against me, licking her bumhole whilst I was Wordling.

[Donnywolf]

What better clue could you want lol

Probably Adieu will be last . Very apt

[tommy toes]

Mug
One of our past cats was called *****
due to her colouring.
Mrs T was thrilled with today’s word.
She loved that cat.
Me, I prefer our current one.
First one we’ve had that might outlive me!!
