They've finally got connections pretty dialed in.  First time getting a perfect score. I never really try, until today I got lucky getting the first two toughest

I’m close to despising connections. It’s not my game. It’s never easy peasy and it’s always a stretch or just dumb

Took me a few weeks to get the hang of it and understand what type of patterns the last one or two [difficult] categories usually follow.  I don't normally try to guess those, just find the first 4, then the next, and the next...


My longest streak is 11, and a winning percent of 70%.

Yes, today was challenging but a good one (4/5 diffculty....38% failed).  Purple was easy, I only got blue through process of elimination.  That's usually how the last 2 categories go for me - the "Real_" is a pretty common construct for one of the last two categories.


And those last 2 categories today were kind of bullshit, but usually enough guesses to figure it out if you nail the first 2.

I knew 3 of the penguins immediately, but took a while to get chinstrap. I did a project on macaroni penguins in 4th grade, my wife had never heard of them.
