We filled the thread, I didn't notice. Hopefully you all find this new one!

NYT crossword: I got a couple of the 'across' clues and thought 'really? Surely not!' . Wasted a good couple of minutes trying to think what else it could be!

(Sorry for the derail!)

Actually guessed the purple link today rather than just being default!

One of the purple answers is a bit of a reach, I think, but that’s pretty common with Connections I suppose.

None of them seemed very plausible except blue.

Peridot1 · 04/05/2024 07:53

@CurlewKate - have just done it. Which one? I think they make their own rules up!

Another tricky one. Used hints to get the last two, would never have got them otherwise.

CurlewKate · 04/05/2024 08:08

@Peridot1 the customise one......So scared of posting spoilers!

@CurlewKate - it’s two words I think. Five letters and then two letters.

CurlewKate · 04/05/2024 08:38

@Peridot1 I think I may go back to bed and see if my brain regenerates.....🤭

Peridot1 · 04/05/2024 08:44

@CurlewKate 😄. I find it hard sometimes with the down words too to visualise them. Especially on bigger crosswords.

ArcaneWireless · 04/05/2024 08:47

A bit of a struggle today with yet another default purple. I never would have twigged.

Hopeless! I knew the green and yellow groups but just couldn't choose the correct 4.
