Hi Ann - I think the connections is bit like the cryptic crosswords where you have to think in a certain way and try to find the type of clue that has been used. As we are new to connections we/our brains are still getting used the logic being used to set the puzzle. With practice I can see this getting easier and we should have a higher rate of success.
I had a the same with Sudoku when I first started I could do the more difficult versions, but these days knowing the possible tricks used to set the puzzle the success rate is much higher.
I agree. I think it is just getting used to the connections they come up with. Im going to persevere because it is all a good workout for the brain even if we don’t solve it.
@Bagrat Hi Wendy, i hope everything is going ok with your husband & that you are yours are all ok xx

Connections must have played to my strengths today. Although the last lot I didn’t know but as there were only 4 left I couldn’t go wrong

Fairly similar to yours - took an extra one on the Wordle, but sailed through the Connections with Americanisms as a default though I do understand the logic as explained.
Interestingly we both solved in the same order, blue, amber, green and purple.
Blue is supposed to be the second trickiest, but we solved it first

Well done Ann,
After a poor start, I completely blew the wordle, but salvaged the connections. The default always helps as you don’t have to know it

Wordle not too bad - could have had it in 2, but it’s a guessing game so

Just 2 of the connections today. Couldn’t see the other 2 although once it gave me answers I should have got the one.
Wordle was much better today.

Well done on the Wordle, bad luck on the connections.
I had to sleep on the connections. Solved the Wordle before bedtime and started the connections, got the easy one, had a block and thought I’d sleep on it.
You will know that you can solve problems by “sleeping on it”. I have done it a few times and it doesn’t always work, but I do find there is something to be said for letting the brain solve the problem in the sub-conscious. I should use the technique more often. Must also say that the luxury is not always afforded e.g. in a TV show quiz game there are time constraints

Still not heard from W (one of the connection groups by coincidence) - guess she’s with family.
You’re right. I should have left the connections & gone back to it. Although fatigue has come visiting big style today so don’t think i would have done it still.
I’m hoping W is ok. Fingers crossed she’ll be back soon.

Not too bad a start. I nearly got caught out with one set of connections. Suddenly realised i had the wrong connection.
My starting word helped a lot. A complete stab in the dark. I’ll take it
