I couldn’t see a new thread and the other is nearly full.

Keep on connecting!

So frustrating! Straight in with yellow and I knew the category for blue but couldn't pin it down. Got there in the end - just!

Got green then yellow it’s no help.

Looked at Companion when I had 2 lives left. If I’d solved it, it would’ve been by lucky guesses.

Used hints for purple. Forgot to do it on Friday so lost streak anyway. BBD

It wasn't quite so hard today.

Had anyone else found Connections Copilot? It's a grid where you can move the squares around and give them the colours you think they are. I find it helpful, it doesn't offer any hints or shortcuts, so you can do a "pure" attempt before screeching at the screen and tearing out your hair

That looks quite helpful @thinky. Hadn’t seen that.

I never need to fixate on a streak here as I know I will lose it @CountingCrones! Sometimes even with Google and hints I still crash out.

First time in AGES I used deduction alone (and connections copilot grid for ordering those thoughts) to work out the answers - no hints or googling today
