Connections - A Daily Word Game Based on Only Connect

[Sampson]

I don’t know if anyone else does this? It’s like the wall on only Connect. The first couple of times you try it, it’s hard but you get to learn the patterns of words after a few days

A lot of days I’ll fail but completed it today

I do enjoy this game but forget about it when I've had a frustrating Wordle 😄

My current streak is 13, which I think is my longest ever, although the NYT app says my maximum is 21.

The first few days I did it I failed. It can take a few attempts to get what kind of things you’re looking for. Like the purple one is almost always a word one where you put a word before or after them all or it contains a word group for example. 
 

So a few days ago there were words like Lane, Box, Card and another one I forget and the connection was “Memory _______ “ for example 

 

Sometimes it’s a bit too American to get and you get American sports teams and stuff too

Kept reading Advance as a verb in my head rather than as a noun, clicked after that

I either get it fairly easily or I completely crash and burn and rage hit any combo by the end. One I remember was cow, rattle, something like daunt (got those) but buffalo??? Apparently to buffalo someone is to intimidate them. I had never ever even heard that before.

I think buffalo in that context is American slang. There was type of dresses a couple of weeks back I failed because I’d never heard of half of them
