It seems I forgot to play yesterday but I’ve lost my (very short) streak today anyway.

Got green almost straight away. Knew the blue category but I’m not familiar with one of the terms.

so annoyed with myself. I was being cocky and had worked out green, yellow and blue before selecting anything (so I thought) so went for what was left over to get purple first. But I was wrong. Then made a stupid mistake with fat fingers on yellow. Hubris I guess.

Hadn't heard of one of the blues in that context and definitely PBD.

Very hard! Had to read the Connections Companion for about ten minutes to find a clue today. Did not read the companion yesterday which is why I lost my not particularly long streak.

Another one lucky guess with blue and purple was obvious when it was all that was left.

And Wordle in two today - maybe I should buy a lottery ticket while my luck holds!

Like PPs, bit of a guess with one of the blues

WinterFrogs · 26/02/2026 08:21

I got the green for the wrong reasons but on the right track for the others

WinterFrogs · 26/02/2026 08:20

So close, and yet so far!

No default but I didn't spot the blue connection until that was all that was left.
