NYT Connections - some more tenuous than others

[ThePoshUns]

New thread to vent our frustration

Bacon? Or the brain?

Quite liked this after initial surprise, once I'd got into the swing (couldn't have got first attempt more wrong if I'd have tried 😂)

I got the yellow thinking the connection was something different, luckily, because the actual connection I would never have got.

Wouldn't have got the references on the last line at all.

Bacon! I couldn't decide if it was a squid or some sort of sweet. Like a pp I had completely the wrong idea about yellow and would never have got it for real. Hope we're back to words tomorrow!

I got that one perfect for nearly all the wrong reasons and my brain is still not happy.

I have never heard of lettuce or cheese in that context! And would never have got blue either. But fun for a change

Did the first few guesses then decided to take a break and come back to it. Hopefully pictures are just a one off!!

Quite liked emojis for a change

Well that was a surprise this morning.

Took a bit of working out. Guessed the yellows but not the actual connection!

Lots of guessing a a lot of luck today.

Not a fan, though I got them all.
Hopefully just a April Fool?

Thought the yellow category was something else entirely but still got it first.

Guys... What's going on? Am I having an episode?

Agree with others - my yellow connection was a much simpler connection - don't recognise the slang .

Took me a while to get the female sheep.

I changed my mind about one of the yellows and wasted a go, greens just a wild guess but it all worked out in the end
