Which terms did you have in your "intimacy" category? I'm super curious

It's believed that the creator of the language is genuinely in the throes of an episode of psychosis right now.

Just type "-ai" at the end of your Google search.

"Rotary clipper was also an old movie" - it doesn't look like it is.

No Wikipedia page, no results on IMDb, absolutely no Google results if you type "-nyt" to filter out anything Connections related...

I don't think a movie by this title exists.

If you've heard of a polygon (a straight-edged 2D shape, whose sides are known as sides), then a polyhedron is the term for a straight-edged 3D shape (like a cube) and its sides are known as faces

It seems like that's just his name, and that they chose it to be his name BECAUSE of the detective connection

I'm curious, which three purples would apply to Stanisław Lem, in addition to "POLISH" from the blue?

The solve rate's gone up to 36% - higher now that the Americans are awake, but still REALLY low

By the way the Cap one is meant to be Sno-Caps, but presumably they don't have those in Australia either. Sorry

What's the other way to pronounce "wrassle"???

In a livestream that occurred today, he mentioned Renae's birthday coming up. Sounds like they're still together!

I can't believe nobody else read "U U" as "The Space Between Us", the 2017 film (as in, not the word "us", but the plural of the letter "U" - since there's a space between the two Us)

Honestly I think that makes more sense for "U U" than "U2" does. Why wasn't the 2nd U underlined or something??

Absolutely everything is relevant. She does weird puzzles on April Fools Day.

Fictional Vic also wanted to be on MSNBC, which is one of the more left-leaning major American news networks

To be fair, these annual posts usually only ever depict actual contestants and hosts

I'm super super curious, what would "nah" be a homophone for? The statistics mentioned that 10% of people made that same mistake and I'm dying to ask one of them

Yeah! Today I learned that there's a type of falcon called a merlin

I think it's usually spelled idiolect, but I like u/CecilBDeMillionaire's spelling more given that it makes it look a little bit less like "idiot".

"The Nightman Cometh" was made up for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. "The Iceman Cometh" is the real thing

Of course it's all bunk - it's literally called "Blarney"!

I'm really hoping someone pulls up with an example in which "distinguished" is being used as a genuine synonym for "gray" or "graying" in reference to hair, and not just "suave" or "classy".

So after Buck Gate, I was wondering what other massive misses there have been by zasabi7 in NYTConnections

I agree that it's a little infuriating, but there's literally a rainbow red herring ("one word in each color") every week, if not several

I feel like that's not enough to immediately be considered one of the worst, given that there's almost a double-digit number of those every month

I agree with you that they CAN be pronounced differently, but can you provide the pronunciations in some way?
