I got it today, but it was a toughie! Good thing I don’t care about having a streak in this as much as for Wordle.

Took me all day to figure out the gimmick. Ended up being rainbow order

Hank Green (of SciShow fame) has a short youtube video with the editor of connections. Maybe he’ll have something longer edited and posted in the near future since it seems to be an interview.

It’s a new audio podcast, called Humans.

Meanwhile, it’s Saturday, and to make up for yesterday’s, it’s an easy one.

I saw both the yellow and the red herring at the same time, but thought the yellow was the herring.

Other than that, easy.

1098 - I was a little hazy on what the categories were but they grouped together naturally and I got my reverse rainbow.

Hank Green is a reasonably internet famous person that often plays connections at the end of his videos. Anyway, he came out with a similar game of his own that’s pretty cool: 4 × 3

4119

Interesting variation. I hope he passed it to someone else to curate. He’s a busy dude.

4120

I think he passed it to a lot of somebody elses. At the bottom, along with the link to past puzzles, there’s a link to create your own.

The inaugural one was super-easy for me, but then, I’ve noted before the multiple meanings of that word. The others were a little trickier, but I still got them flawlessly. I’ll keep an eye on it, but I think it might be too easy to keep sticking with.
