It took me consulting everyone awake in the house and eventually google to get it. I was convinced it was other connections for most of the game.

Feeling smug! I think the blues might be the first time I have not recognised any of the words even when the link was revealed, very much by default.

SabrinaThwaite · 16/12/2024 09:14

I knew three of the blues and had to check the one I thought would be the fourth one - it’s very American (again). Just to annoy us Brits.

As I said-Thank you Bill Bryson!!

Pelagi · 16/12/2024 10:53

I stared at today’s for ages with literally no idea of anything. Eventually got them all with some help from Google for the blues! Yellow was last, I got approximately the right connection but not exactly…

Hmm - I got purple straight off, yellow took a while and I lost it with green and blue .... I was actually on track with the connection for blue, but the one that I was sure of turned out to be green!

Blue a lucky guess, purple by default

No defaults this time, which makes a nice change

Got purple early on but wasn’t convinced by one of them. That brings my streak to 90. Better than the 4 I have on Wordle.
