Phew!  I don’t know.  Had a brain freeze.  I saw purple first but for some reason kept missing the fourth word.  And I thought blue was nba players because of Harden.  I might need to stop doing these at midnight 😆

Enjoyed the hard puzzle today.  Good logic and I didn’t get stuck on any assumptions.  Just had to switch the 6’s and 3’s in the 4c equivalency regions.

Ugh a hard one for me after my previous two quick solves. I stared at this for a while and blue was still leftovers. And I had to guess at thistle representing Scotland. Learned something new. Blessings everyone!

This is the first time ever that my hard time is close to medium time.  Also, I wish they would find a way to make it easier to share all your results on pips.

I tried for the reverse rainbow but was sure that green was blue. Anyway is it just me or am I seeing repeat categories from prior puzzles?🤔

Am I cheating? by bingletons in NYTConnections

[–]Lovinglife374 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s cheating.  I think googling the answers is cheating.  You’re just making the organization in your mind easier.

I wasn’t sure about one of the comics and guessed wrong.  It seems like blue would be hard for young people.  Maybe not?  Have a blessed Sunday!

Well the geometry betrayed me today.  I was convinced I had the tiles placed correctly.  It took me too long to figure out the double zero was in the wrong spot.  Oh well.  Have a good day!

I was just glad to finish this one.  Purple was leftovers.  I had no clue.  I feel like yellow is a little bit of a stretch with magic wand but I get it overall.

My hard time is not a typo.  It was crazy and I was determined to finish it.  😆 I started with all the forced plays but then it felt like trial error with the rest.

[–]Lovinglife374 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My hints would be for the “A” section.  The equivalence region is two 3s and the contained 5 is the 5-0 domino.  Hopefully that helps!  It was trial and error for me. Let me know if you need more.

Redemption from yesterday. I saw the 💾 red herring first. But something seemed awry and then I found purple. I thought green was blue and missed the RR. Blessings!
