I crashed and burned today. I saw the red herring, and avoided it, and got yellow. Then i saw three of the greens, but i wasn’t sure which β€œherring” word was the fourth. I decided to try guessing some of the others, instead, and obviously failed. So u went back to green , and I guessed wrong there, too. I would never have gotten blue, i only knew one of those. If I’d gotten it down to just blue and purple, might i have gotten purple? I usually don’t, but i did know all those items. Connections Puzzle #1089 🟨🟨🟨🟨 πŸŸͺ🟦🟦πŸŸͺ 🟦🟦πŸŸͺπŸŸͺ πŸŸͺ🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟩🟩🟩 ---

> [@puzzlegal](#): > > A word that screams, β€œmaybe I’m wordplay”. Even at that, it sucks, because there are tons of real words they could have used that end in -ship, so using a made-up word like that makes it look like the made-up part is what’s important.. ---
