I thought yellow should have been purple today. I was surprised when my first connection turned out to be the purple category!

Almos didn’t make it, but purple coalesced first for me also. I understand blue but wouldn’t have gotten it.

Purple jumped out to me today, but blue was by default.

Didn’t see blue until I was down to two categories.

I just started playing Connections a few months ago. I play Wordle and do the NY Times Crossword puzzle every day as well. (I’m retired so I’ve got time.)
My question: Am I the only person who either gets the connections right away or fails miserably. It seems like I either get it or I don’t.

Maybe we can discuss blue tomorrow — I understand all of them.

I wasn’t familiar with picking an afro.

Yeah, the symmetrical comb with long tines and a handle in the middle at the bottom is called a pick, and combing out an afro is picking. Easy for me as someone who had a modest afro in his youth. :slightly_smiling_face:
