    Connections stumped me today because I thought the Purple category was "innocent ways to say rude words" when I saw Bally, Hitch, Promo & Hunt

    Thanks for featuring my Dad joke submission! I appreciated your jokes as well 😂
    Connections: Perfect 💚💛💜💙 I had no idea what Discog or Bally meant either. Strands: Rangsk Perfect, Mini: I struggled - 3:00 😐 I had SOLO as well which threw me off and then misspelled EMERY. Bagel didn't immediately come to mind. I'm from NY where referring to a bagel as a bun is probably a crime 😂😂 GGs 😊

      It's so hard to get a good bagel here 😭

    I looked up the definitions of Discog and Bally, didn't help.

      I googled the same words and Google just said they were apps or websites lol

      I also looked up definitions of those 2. The fact that they didn't have clear definitions actually helped significantly. I figured they had to both be purple and I stated breaking the words apart to try to find common traits that way. I saw the dance theme pretty quickly once I knew they had to be purple

      ​@megankeale8991 "bally" is also an old fashioned, posh way of politely saying "bloody" for emphasis.
      You're a bally idiot, Jones!

      Discog is just short for Discography

    Connections: Rainbow Order, no mistakes
    Mini: 1:13
    Rangsk: no hints, one extra word; tried “coal” before realizing the theme was metals only

    So funny, I also had a carousel moment with iron. It took me putting in two other combinations before I thought to start with the i.
    Had a perfect rainbow on Connections, but it took some thinking before I got there. I also could not figure out purple at all. Discog I thought might be short for Discography so at first I thought it was going to be either music related or word play, but couldn't come up with either.
    Got the Mini in 1'30. Much better after Saturday's struggle.
    I personally haven't used the link for the Wordle video myself, but it's usually because I seek out your page and I tend to watch Wordle first since I also solve Wordle first myself. But I do think it's super helpful to have a link at the end for people!

    Connections: purple blue yellow green - no mistakes, named all categories
    Mini - 1:04. Also put DRUM in for the across.

    Im on a cool little streak of getting purple first for the last 5 days! Purple has been pretty easy recently I think

      @Swurv. My tiny brain disagrees that purple was easy. ;-)

    • @Rangsk
      @Rangsk  9 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I'm impressed, I don't think the recent purples have been easy at all

    • @Swurv
      @Swurv 9 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      @@Rangsk maybe it’s just me then haha, idk todays was pretty easy to see (for me)
      when I saw “cycle” yesterday, i tried bi__, and when that didn’t work, i thought of tri__ and it worked
      when i saw “nicotine” and tried to think of a fill in the blank, patch came to mind pretty fast
      when i saw “batter” a few days ago, I thought of baseball and “batter up” and then saw the other ones with “__ up”
      since they’ve been more to do with fill in the blanks and wordplay recently, and less about trivia, maybe that’s why i’ve been able to do better. Also I think i’m just getting used to how NYT structure their purple categories and already have a list of things I try to do to find purple haha

      @Swurv very nice thinking all around

  • @Aurelia1985
    @Aurelia1985 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I was so very sure BALLY was somehow short for ballywick (actually, bailiwick) & DISCOG was short for discography, & this was the purple category for like informal terms for a person's wheelhouse. No mistakes, but I was confidently wrong about purple. 😀

    When they found the road less travelled took them to the football stadium, they said it was a good

    Connections really stumped me today. I watch wordle before this video so I don’t utilize that feature.

    🟨🟦🟪🟩 yellow was super easy, then didn’t really know blue it just felt like those four went together, then after I was down to 2 I noticed the purple, mostly cause of disco. I knew green category, but didn’t know cloister and silo meant that. No mistakes.

    I saw nickel right away in strands but I guess I spelled it wrong and had no idea, so I didn’t think that was the category anymore and then had to use a hint and found out that was the category so a little annoyed I spelled nickel wrong lol i must have spelled it nickle, didn’t know that would be accepted or even a real word

    Strands was nonsense. They're Minerals, not Metals. I was looking nook and cranny for minerals as the spanagram 🤦🏿‍♂

    • @Rangsk
      @Rangsk  9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Not sure what you mean. They are all elemental metals on the periodic table.

    • @sonalita_
      @sonalita_ 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The ore the metals come from are minerals but the words in the grid are the actual metals from the ore and are classed as metals in the periodic table so yes, they are metals. E.G. the metal cobalt is produced from the mineral cobalite.

    Only reason I got purple so quick is that DISCOG didn't seem like a real word.
    Mini: 0:47
    Could've been faster if I had locked in BASS at the beginning, but I was unsure. Also did SOLE instead of LONE.
    Strands: Rangsk Perfect
    Thank you modded Minecraft for all the metals knowledge!
