Yellow Answers: Revealed & Explained

Today’s game was a huge loss for us and yellow ended up being the only category we scored correctly, but not until after we lost a few attempts. There were too many different matches that our brains just refused to let go of and we paid for that. Luckily, before the loss we were able to hit the yellow correctly.

SEWER and DRAIN were the starting words and the other two came fairly quickly. We also missed another attempt trying to make SEA work with this over DUCT, but that was an obvious miss. Not a great day for our Connections.

Green Answers: Revealed & Explained

CHEESE, CORN, SAP, and EGG. I think we tried that more than once but at least the game doesn’t penalize you for forgetting your own darn guesses. I still have no idea what a SCHMALTZ is. Google says it’s “rendered animal fat, usually from a chicken.” How that fits into sentimentality, I’ll never know.

Blue Answers: Revealed & Explained

I wish we would have scored today’s blue category only because it’s pretty clever. We love it when Connections gets clever. It feels like SMILE and KNUCKLES should have been the starters of this particular category, but we were so hung up on fitting EGG in with other food words that it was just lost on us. Sometimes, if I crack too many eggs I eventually have to crack a window.

Purple Answers: Revealed & Explained

I can’t look at those two words together without thinking of Loose Seal from Arrested Development. It has nothing to do with today’s Connections, but it will make me feel better after this devastating loss. I should go watch a Star War.
