If You Like "Wordle", Try "Connections"

  1. Kept pursuing different categories. Failed. Could have probably tried harder.

I missed out for exactly the same resons. On top of that I am not aware of any accent or meaning of “do” that is a homophone of “doh” “dough” and “doe” though I did eventually try that group as bad homophones are not unheard of in connections

Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do

I did better in Tuesday’s game. Though Green was not my wheelhouse.

Ahh, and American spelling I was not aware of, I thought it was Doh, Re, Mi everywhere.

Agree that BUCK and FAWN did not belong in their respective categories. Especially the latter. What?
I had no problem with DO, though.

It’s a fairly new addition to the basic categories of stress response that explains why abused people can often seem to be reacting “positively” or placatingly to their abusers. This is the article that coined the term, I believe.

I thought getting GREEN meant I’d avoided a red herring but no…

Almost went for a red herring but managed to avoid it.

Almost took a drive right off that cliff.

Green was definitely my wheelhouse.

Absolutely went for the red herring but at least got the reverse rainbow after.

Fell for a red herring and rushed an incorrect set of leftovers for purple. A minute’s thought and I would have avoided the error.

Green was leftovers (including a word I’ve never even seen before), but I submitted before yellow to complete the RR, after actually organically getting purple first and blue second.

It’s Wednesday in my house. I did okay, but messed up a little in the middle.

I fell for the red herring (even while thinking that some of them were awfully outdated), and then I wasted too much time figuring out which four of the five yellows were right.

Fell for the red herring, but then it was straightforward.

What was the red herring today?

I was going for purple but didn’t have the fourth. Once again, should have gone through all the options first.
