Connections 542 - NYT Word Game - 4 December 2024

Chris, you are brilliant.

[@carsonroach-howell6945]

The purple category was so obscure I wonder how many people genuinely figured it out versus kind of getting the relation/process of elimination.

[@Tsteinlauf]

I got it, but only after I had eliminated the rest. 😊

[@reesewolf6565]

I had the same thinking as you for purple. I thought Johnson could be in a bathroom because of johnson & johnson. I got lucky with that

[@XanderWhat]

This was the hardest one in recent memory for me! Same with Strands
Edit: wow, over half the players failed it according to the bot

[@thorneto2742]

I'm really surprised this one was considered difficult. Definitely the easiest one for me in about a week or so

[@Paraninja]

Strands was hard today but I didn’t think this Connections was particularly hard.

[@sambright3719]

I managed only yellow and blue today. No ideas on the others. Umm... when you moved home recently did you take next door's builders with you? ☺️☺️☺️

[@yellowmuffen7419]

The last one is so dumb

Using Art's scoring we would have tied today. I named the purple, but you would have gotten the point for a speedier solve. Natch!! You: 🏃‍♂️. Me: 🐢 😊
