News, views AND some Clues re Wordle - Connections

[mugnapper]

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!!

We have 3 at the moment. 13 year old brother and sister.
No more cats for us as we don't want any of them outliving us and having to be rehomed.
Or so we thought.
18 months ago, some young folk moved in up the street. Within an hour of them moving in, their kitten moved in with us.
We tried taking him back many times but he just came back to us.
In the end his owners seemed to lose interest in him, and so he's ours now lol!

I'm stuck today but fancying Shakespeare is in there.

4 lives left to get one Row and other solves itself but I could attribute most of the 8 to WS in some oblique way

[Donnywolf]

No clues , just to say I lost

[tommy toes]

Don’t know how I didn’t get the G today.
When the solution came up I could have sworn I’d put those in.
Still no matter as I’d never have got the B and G.

[mugnapper]

Can someone explain the P today??

[Bentley Bullet]

A DEAL IS A DEAL (IS A DEAL)
A ROSE IS A ROSE (IS A ROSE)
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH (IS ENOUGH)
LOVE IS LOVE (IS LOVE)

I think!

I didn't get it, by the way!

[tommy toes]

That’s right BB.
How you supposed to get that?
Bloody ridiculous!

[mugnapper]

Are they songs?

[tommy toes]

Nah!
Just b*llocks is b*llocks is b*llocks.

[mugnapper]

I couldn't let it lie. I Googled 'Purple Group Tuesday Connections' and the first 2 hits I clicked in gave slightly different answers.
One instance quoted that Classic film that everyone in the Western world has seen 'Scott Pilgrim against the World'.
I'm letting it go now as I truly don't care anymore lol

[tommy toes]

It’s a great film that Dave.
It’s where Scott Pilgrim rides out on his trusty steed called Nag is Nag is Nag (nag nag nag for short)into outer space and then declares War on The World.
There’s a shoot out which our all American hero Scott wins with his gold plated six shooter, while the The World only has every nuclear weapon on Earth.
Very realistic it is.

[Donnywolf]

Flicks Film Video Super 8 ....whatever they call em Im usually bamboozled

Id have a chance with Goal World Cup 66 or Coming to America and er thats about it

[Donnywolf]

I got G straight off and then spotted a great P

Words in America the Beautiful . It was right and I moved on but then saw it said " last words in America the Beautiful"

And I thought , the last words of AtB I assumed were from sea to shining sea so I disagreed ( nit picking I know ) because from is not one of the 4 last words

Anyway I looked it up and didn't realize it was written by Ray Charles for a start and then saw the actual lyrics he wrote end with ....

..... Cause he, he, he, he crowned thy good
He told me he would, with brotherhood
(From sea to shining Sea)
Oh Lord, oh Lord, I thank you Lord
(Shining sea)

Maybe they use the popular version but I stand by my original thought anyway

So a shit clue today either way but Streak 1 lol

[tommy toes]

I’d never have got it Wolfie and your explanation doesn’t help ffs! (Lol)

[mugnapper]

Well, well we'll. I have googled today's whaaat, erm sorry, the purple group and am pleased I did.
Not least because I 'solved' the puzzle immediately lol.
As a Mug punter (hence my user name) I'm not a statistician but that leapt out at me.
Google it yourself and see what you think.

[Donnywolf]

I googled it earlier , looked and thought ffs , life's too short to tangle with that

I may go back later if in a better mood

On the upside I brewed 40 pints between Wordle and Connections lol

[turnbull for england]

I have heard of the purple on a work thing, but only when reminded after a Google this morning, no way I'd have selected the 4

To my feeble brain, it just leapt out at me.
His initial selection was a 3/1 chance.
However, once one door was eliminated, the other remaining door (the one neither selected nor eliminated) became an even money shot.
I don't want to overthink it in case I change my mind lol

[turnbull for england]

Who knew a w*nk was a bird

[Donnywolf]

Fluky as a fluky thing today

Down to 8 with all lives left, I spotted wet and dry and thought Season. Permed 3 times lost 3 times

Got it 4th time and it was about Martinis not Seasons lol

Left P which was just as well . I could see one of them 2 at a push but never 4

[Donnywolf]

Wordle start Word gave me just a Yellow A for day 5 in a row .... Deja Vu for sure

I made errors in Row 3 using a Letter in same spot

Made similar error in Row 4 using a letter in same place ( without realizing ) and was then well and truly stumped.

I did guess(ish) what 4th letter could be and once I found a letter to go 5th I "dropped" on the word but what a challenge it was today

[mugnapper]

I never knew how to pronounce 'Bae' and now I do. Not that I will ever use it lol
