Yellow Answers: Revealed and Explained

I didn’t get this one first, but I found this one right after solving another one. I noticed RECORD and PAUSE and it immediately made me think of a remote control. PLAY and STOP were easy to spot after that, and it was quick to send. There weren’t really any words elsewhere in the puzzle that worried me, because none of them are often found on a television or DVR. That made this one feel really easy today, which was a nice break after yesterday.

Green Answers: Revealed and Explained

This was the first category I got today, and I think it was probably because I saw NEW and NOVEL next to each other when the puzzle loaded for me. Was Too much coincidence to ignoreand I found ORIGINAL and DIFFERENT almost immediately. There also wasn’t much else I thought could happen here, which made me more confident. My trust was deeply lost in another Connections puzzles, but I was glad today wasn’t one of those days.

Blue Answers: Revealed and Explained

This is the only category I stumbled upon once and then felt a little silly about. Originally I had POEM instead of CORRESPOND in the word group, but I hadn’t actually seen that and thought they were just words that symbolized some kind of writing. If I had thought about it more, I probably would have realized that WRITE is not a type of writing, but a verb and I wouldn’t have made that mistake, but besides making me get a “Great” instead of a “Perfect!” It didn’t cause me much trouble.

Purple Answers: Revealed and Explained

These were just the remaining words, but it makes a lot of sense now that I’m looking at it. I never really considered many of these words before this category, except POEM, so I wasn’t too worried about this one. However, I like that “feet” means many different things in this context​​​​​​, and I thought it was fun. Overall, I was very happy with my result on this puzzle and I hope you had fun finishing it too.
