Didn’t get purple although I saw two of them while trying to figure it out.

Another easy one. Green seemed way too obvious to lead with; smelled like a red herring but wasn’t.

I probably could have gone for an RR, but I might not have caught on to purple before yellow was out of the way.

Total disaster. I had to google the options for blue because I knew the category but was not sure of the answers.

Also I saw hijo as huo and couldn’t find the fourth yellow.

Never got purple.

I did jump on the red herring too quickly…kicking myself now because I thought BLUE was actually going to be the red herring.

I didn’t see Saturday’s red herring, but it was still hard. I saw the blues first, because I happened to know a couple of them, and only needed one wrong guess to get the other two. Purple was mistaken leftovers… I thought that club and steak were _____ sandwich, and guessed that the other two were things I just hadn’t heard of.

Not my best work but still alive​:woman_dancing:

Complete crash and burn today. So bad that Connections was too ashamed to let me share my whole failure, only the first four awful guesses.

Yellow (!) took me two tries, but I didn’t have to google anything, so I’m considering that a win.

I didn’t see the fourth Sierra (which I later realized was CLUB); otherwise I probably would have fallen for it.

Had no idea on blue.

Recovered from yesterday’s fiasco with a reverse rainbow. Avoided the red herring, but purple was very scary leftovers.
