I never would have guessed what blue was in a billion years. And green is terrible. Purple was fun though.

Choose? How/why do you choose a color?

OK I don't play Connections every day or check into this thread every day, so I think I may be missing some subtlety in how you guys play this... I'm just happy to solve the drat thing, whatever the color order; is there some sort of informal expert challenge mode going on here, where you try to get the colors in a particular order, purple first?

From easy to hard it goes

Yellow
Blue
Green
Purple

And I guess “hard mode” is getting purple first

Yes lol inspired by this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUnkW3fL0Io

So you try to figure out all of the different groupings before entering any answers, and then on top of that try to figure out which one must be purple.

I assume that at some point in this mega thread, somebody mentioned Worldle, but I don't care. So, does anyone here like Worldle? It's not affiliated with the Times, but it's still fun and free (with ads) to play. The gist is that the game gives you the outline of some country, and you must guess which one it is. You have five or so attempts/country, and each time you take a stab at it, it will give you a percentage, distance (in km), and direction to tell you how far off you are. In my experience, it can range from a walk in the park to excruciatingly and mind-numbingly difficult. It almost always depends on the continent, though (only Oceania & Southern Africa challenge most people I know, including myself).

Anyways, like Wordle, it updates daily, and you can access the official site at this link. It also has bonus games where you can quiz yourself on the flags, capital, currency, etc., all of which follow the same format.

Also, I know I'm somewhat using corporate speak in this post, but I'm not affiliated with the site in any capacity lol. I simply enjoy the game and want to see if anyone else does, too. :tipshat:
