I was off to a bangin' start.  Too many "multiple solutions" or "nonsensical solutions".  You have to come up with a relatively obscure category, and then shoe-horn 1-2 words in that don't fit all that great.

You’d think by sheer statistics I would get a few of these right.

I was nearly PERFECTLY wrong.  There's no way people who got this in 4 didn't cheat.  The easiest and most obvious answer was a false positive.

Beyond dumb.   I'm about ready to find a better game.  Also there was a Freud reference just a few days ago.


Struggling because I've been playing this for like 9 months, and now almost daily they are introducing new conventions and using past ones as tricks.  Like tomorrow's green will be words with the second letter 'A', and two of them are a phonetic "A".  Yellow will be like "things that are disposable" and include tires and mattresses.

I have no idea how to start. I’m going to get my daughter and we’ll put two heads together.

Well, my daughter and I figured it out after a slow start. I had to look up what the hell lanthanum was. So LA was our start to solving. 

F-ing damn hard and I would have never gotten it by myself.

Me and my new daughter that we took in…we play rummy most nights and right before bed we tag team the connections game. We are still only about 50/50 but it’s a good closure to the day. My wife and I have been in Punta Cana for a week so I’ve just failed on my own for 6 days
