It took me ages to see any connections at all but I got there.

Would never have got purple

PBD and I still don't know what it means!

Blue is lovely.

Took ages, and obviously no idea on green and purple

PBD as very much outside my knowledge base. I was rather frustrated today but inspired to concentrate by the rest of you managing to complete the puzzle I pressed on . Hooray!

Took me ages to see any connections first of all. I have no clue about half of purple.

Took ages to see anything, so took a break and came back to it. PBD and some lucky guesses

Yet another morning of looking at a grid of what seems like totally unconnected words! I do enjoy when I can tease some sort of connection out of my tiny brain!

But as is usual PBD. Would never have guessed that.

Oh and well done in your streak @WingBingo. That’s impressive. Mine is currently 23 which I was pretty pleased with.

PBD, would never have got it, only heard of two of them. It was very hard to get going today and I wasn’t confident of any of the groups when I put them in. Blue is cute.

PBD - no chance 😊

Can someone please help me understand what's going on in this thread? How do I participate!?

Another purple where I thought two of them vaguely go together, I'll have a stab at the others and, oh -would never have guessed that in a million years!

@Zeemie22 it's a thread where we post our results for the online NYT Connections game.

Sometimes the game is stupidly difficult, and sometimes it's more straightforward, so it's always interesting to see how others have fared.

Looks like I was the only one who went for the bucket of red herring.

Purple definitely by default today.
