I immediately thought of you when I saw the first line, imagining your amusement. Anf of course, I laughed with superiority and ignored it, to my detriment.
I was unable to complete this one, as I remained convinced that lions, tigers, etc. was a red herring and didn't know most of the song titles. Quite the bluff today!
Apparently you have failed one Connections game last year. Have you ever failed any of the other NYT games that you have encountered? You were very lucky not failing yesterday's game. I appreciated your response to my last comment. Again, a lot of people including myself respect you, Chris, and you are a very laid back/intelligent person. 😊
He is the CONNECTIONS BEAST and then some. How does Chis do it in this game??? 😂😂😂 Have you ever seen him lose in any of the other NYT games? What is his secret in doing so well in these puzzles?
I think many of us went through the same journey of laughing at the obvious top line mis-direct, before the realisation dawned that the puzzle-setter was playing with our expectations to perfection - "oh my!" Apparently, Please Please Please is a Sabrina Carpenter song.
The problem with the sports teams is 2 are MLB teams and 3 were NFL teams and there wasn’t a common state/city. Still impressed you were able to get without any mistakes.
Top notch work as always, Chris. Got the first two categories in the same order, then annoyingly I actually spotted purple through knowing ABBA, NSync and Sabrina Carpenter. However, being so convinced about the top line misdirect and only vaguely aware of US sports teams (some team names but not necessarily the sports they play) I had bills as a team and convinced myself "oh my, oh my, oh my" must be a song! Just the one mistake in the end at least though.
I really liked them finally making the sports team as a misdirection, a nice change of pace. I have been listening to a fair amount of Sabrina Carpenter lately so Please Please Please was on my mind - and it helped to know the Tigers are not a football team.
Saw the song titles but wasn’t familiar with them all. And I just couldn’t get myself to believe that the lions tigers and bears oh my was correct. Tough one. Connections Puzzle #562 🟨🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪
I had so wanted a breaking bad reference in there with “tight tight tight” but it wouldn’t have made sense obviously. Luckily I knew the songs. I don’t actually know gimme x3 but it was vaguely familiar to me. Connections Puzzle #562 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨
They absolutely hoodwinked us today 😂

It baffles me how you still get the perfect games even when you struggle, Chris. 😂
Not yesterday!

@@hopechazz I think the reason the "streak" is so low is that he took some days off. I've never seen Chris lose this.

First time they have ever done that

Yep it went #1 this year on billboard
Incredible double bluff, great job sniffing it out! I went on the same journey but tried sports teams, thinking it couldn't be the red herring.
The problem with the sports teams is 2 are MLB teams and 3 were NFL teams and there wasn’t a common state/city. Still impressed you were able to get without any mistakes.
I found the letter sounds first, then fell for the sports teams. I realized my mistake when I was one away.
A bit over a week ago, 4 words from the children's song, I'm A Little Teapot were in Connections- but was not a valid answer. This is frustrating!
I saw blue first then purple. Please Please Please is by Sabrina Carpenter.
Never heard of that. I was thinking of the smiths song.
@@mikemcculleysame here!
@@mikemcculleyit just came out this year. Went #1 on billboard.
If she did it then I'm happy not to have heard it. She seems awful.
@@listey the song is nice to be fair. Better than someone more popular like T Swift in my opinion
I couldn't believe it either! Sent me off in a different way completely. Haha!
I find the “ever” selection under “percent of players…” more informative than “first”. You might take a look at it in your review.

The letters and song titles messed me up and I missed this one today.
Making the obvious red herring an actual answer was cruel. Also I’ve only heard one of those songs, which was definitely frustrating.
And this is why hitting the shuffle button immediately isn’t the worst idea
Nothing surprises me with Wyna anymore. 😂
Oh My GOD
Please GOD
Dear GOD
Bye GOD
Saw the song titles but wasn’t familiar with them all. And I just couldn’t get myself to believe that the lions tigers and bears oh my was correct. Tough one.
