NYT Connections - some more tenuous than others

[ThePoshUns]

New thread to vent our frustration

I was thinking ladders and crackers but obviously different brand names and terms in the US

This infuriates me continually - do we have a U.K. equivalent? I’m not familiar with a lot of the connections! Don’t know about American tv channels or sports stars, my dad and I play this daily and send scores and sometimes the answers are just ludicrous 😂

I find the usa ones frustrating too

I know and apologies for spoilers but wtf is a ' salmon-ladder ' and a 'goldfish cracker'?

Oh google tells me that there are salmon ladders in Scotland. Everyday is a school day

Thanks for the new thread @ThePoshUns

I was Stokey..

I think salmon swim in ladders? I only know this because we have a board game called Cascadia where you have to position animals in various ways.

No idea about Goldfish or Oyster crackers.

I only know about goldfish crackers because of Friends 🤣

Goldfish Crackers are nice, a bit like Cheddars but fish shaped.

Ooh just found this thread. Today was satisfying - tricky, but I got there.

Glad I'm not the only one wondering about crackers!

Welcome @Theydontknowaboutus
There was a previous thread. We are a tenacious little group who battle on

Today's was definitely frustrating and USA based. Thanks for the new thread!

Thank you for the new thread, another great result for me today

I somehow failed despite knowing about salmon ladders and goldfish crackers. Todays was easy though.

Always feels easier when I spot a group immediately
