If you play connections

QVCkitty1 — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 14:54:15 GMT

First off, I'm usually pretty good at solving these puzzles. However today my guesses were off the mark and I didn't get any of the colors. I feel so dumb. Did any of you have trouble or was it just me. I guess my connections were just not connecting. LOL ☹️

I'm happy if I get one of those 4 choices connections!! Today was one of those days. I think some of those "connections" are a bit of a stretch--LOL!!!

I stared at today's puzzle for a long time. I only got two categories today. It always amazes me how they come up with those categories. It's a great game to play.

NYT connections? I love doing those. Some are things I don't know and couldn't know: Sports, movies (Disney especially) so if I don't get those I don't worry.

Fun to play though! I can usually figure it out if it is something I am at all culturally familiar with.

It took me awhile today.

I kept thinking of David Lynch movies, which I guess was the trick.

I haven't done today's yet so cannot comment on that, but I often google "connections hints" to help nudge me along the right path. Is it cheating? Probably. Do I care? Nope.

Yes, I play the NYT games everyday. Todays stumped me; only got one. .

I did it today with no problem. 🤷‍♂️

I got today's puzzle but unfortunately, not in 4 guesses. It took one extra guess today.

My routine is Connections, Wordle, then Blossom. In that order.

I used to do Wordle, Quordle, then Octordle (and all the variations of the three.)

A perfect "puzzle morning" is Connections in 4 (which is really 3, because if you got 3, you automatically got 4), Wordle in 3, and Blossom over 300 (or over 350 if it's an easy one.

Was able to complete it. It took a minute. That Blue Velvet was rolling around my head at first. I also like nyt strands.

@faeriemoon Just tried Blossom. I liked it.

I only got two combinations right today. The puzzle that frustates me is Strands. I rarely get that game completed without using hints.

That's funny. Yesterday I couldn't get a single one. Today I got all four in a couple of minutes. It frustrates me when I can't get even one category.

By the way, just a suggestion, but I play Spelling Bee, Strands (my favorite), Connections and Octordle. You may like them.

I play connections everyday. Sometimes, like today, it was very easy but other days, I have a harder time. I don’t do well with today’s cultural “norms” rappers & sports like golf terminology. I’m getting better tho. Wordle is easier & I like Strands as well.
