Bit of an American cultural bias to today's, I feel. I recognised the links, but there were two groups where I've never heard of some of the specific examples.

Yep, the colour coding is consistent, no matter the user. The 2 pronounciations just seems a bit random. Would they have put scone there?

I think that the colour coding is meant to go green - easiest, yellow next easiest, blue next, purple last.

The issue with the purple here is that at least one word only has a second pronounciation as regards one specific American pronounciation, and that accents might lead to different pronounciations of a lot more words.

I share your pain Steve. In one of the categories I did not realise that the term was used for an object. I thought it described more of a quantity/action. On looking it up the UK usage is very much as I thought. The USA usage is a description of an object. Obviously NS has a wider knowledge of arcane Americana than I have  ;)

Presumably the British usage came from the object.

Most people found this one difficult (or, indeed, impossible). The 'Connections' group on FB that I'm in is full of posts saying that the poster "bombed" (the favourite phrase). Still, better that than ridiculously easy, like the recent film titles one.

I'd agree it was difficult but it was entirely fair. There weren't even that many ambiguous clues.

Well analysing my own attempt.

I started off looking at the fish but I could see five possibilities so I did heat sources and got that one straight away.

Then I did the baseball, but put "walk" in instead of "safe". Realising there were five baseball terms, I returned to fish and got two wrong combinations.

Then I went back to baseball and realised that "walk" could be eliminated if it was baseball calls.

After that, I still had five fish but realised I had several words that don't sound the way they are spelled. It took me a little while to convince myself that the "l" in "walk" is silent, but after that it was plain sailing.

Moderately difficult. I spotted the themes of two rows, but still managed to get them wrong with my first guesses for each, thanks to ambiguous words. I should have spotted the theme of the purple row, although I'd never heard of one of them.

Hmmm... again. One of the purple group doesn't work, being a how example rather than why as the others are. Similarly 1 of the purples feels off, not becauss it's parochial, though it is, but because it's not really a type, and the others are.

I didn't think it was wrong because they are irregular but using because they didn't consistently use the base verb, which I think they need to, and then used different parts of the verb.

I think you're over-thinking the purple. They are just words that can go in front of "opera": their grammatical function is irrelevant.

Of my yellows, I think you could argue that 3 doesn't quite fit.

SPOILER ALERT



It says celebratory occasions and the four are Anniversary, Birthdaty, Shower, Wedding. If you read that as occasions you celebrate then Shower doesn't work. If you read it as things you do to celebrate events, then Shower works but the others with the arguable exception of Wedding don't.


I think you're meant to get confused with the relationship of Wedding and Reception from the Phone Group, and Shower and Reception. Sadly I think they've just confused themselves

No, I know what a baby shower is. It's an event to celebrate the upcoming birth. A 'birthday' or an anniversary are things you would have an event to celebrate. A wedding can arguably be both, though the equivalent to a baby shower would generally be a wedding reception, hence the 'reception' use in the grid hoping to confuse.

Shower is the one I thought might be out of place. The others are all reasons to celebrate. A shower is a way to celebrate.

I think we are over analysing this, tbh.

To be precise, now that it's safely in the past, I thought that yellow was "fruit used as vegetables", or ""savoury fruit", not just "crops". which is very broad.

Sorry my fault, got confused. However, the internet agrees with both of us. Bloody useless.

It is either a contraction or an acronym. Depending on the source.

The acronym as everyone has now played (I think) is "Specially Processed American Meat" or alternatively the contraction is "SPiced hAM".

Although I have seen "Slimy Processed Anaemic Mucus" offered as an alternative.

Funnily enough, it didn't occur to me that the word wasn't about email spam, the etymology of which is unknown but probably comes from the Monty Python spam sketch.

The acronyms you have suggested are all actually backronyms. The origin of the term "spam" in respect of canned meat was known only to the inventor of the term and a few other execs in the company that made it.

There's no known acronym that actually works that can be traced to the creation of the product. Therefore, it is not an acronym, at least, the NYT shouldn't be calling it an acronym.

I would say that one of them I felt was a boy old fadhioned but it was in common use when I was growing up. There may be a regional element in the UK as well as an American aspect behind the NYT usage.

Got obsessed with purple.

Have to say, one of the blue answers had nothing to do with the category, or at least so I thought.

Having now seen the answers, I don't think three of the blues really fit the category: they can do, but don't normally.

I think everyone's played that's likely to (avert your eyes if not), so...

"bouillon" means "stock". It is liquid, so only cubical if you pour it into a cubical container. A bouillon cube is another matter. Ditto ice and sugar.

They are things that come in cubes. I think your is that the title could be phrased better not that the items don't fit. After all a die diesn't have to be cube shaped either.

They are things that can come in cubes, although I'd never heard of a bouillon cube before. I assume it is like a stock cube.

A die, on the other hand is a thing that is a cube, normally, unless you play D&D.

I probably would have got it if I hadn't spent so much time trying to figure out the purple category.

I suspect that "bouillon cube" is what Yanks call what we call a stock cube.

This may be overthinking things, but since we started making this word game on the other thread, I have found these puzzles easier. Furthermore, I did both boards on Only Connect last night. Which is the first time ever. (I freeze-frame it at the beginning and try to work it out.)

Seems entirely reasonable. There's a pattern of 5hought, and a process that makes stuff easier. Setting the home made ones gives insight in how you might think of connections running into each other.

I think the Only Connect wall remains far harder than the NYT one but the basic approach is the same, and getting used to the process of elimination is a good one. On the home made thread because of the unlimited guesses, I finfmd that I do take risks a bit more but it also allows a certain amount of experimentation which is useful.

Hmm...  I think the category overall is niche. If the Guardian did a similar wall with UK entries, I'd think it was similar even if I was much more likely to know them .

On the subject of your comment on the purple ones, I'd lean to the 'hard' one being more obsolete than a straight Americanism, though I could be wrong. I struggle to think where I saw an individual use much of it, Lee Evans perhaps.  Ican't remember if the term is specifically used in the Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room episode of Inside No 9 but 5ye idea is and is flagged as old fashioned. The last time I can remember seeing the term was in a review of Dave Gorman referring to him using it in the digital use.

Note, given pretty well everyone on the board has attempted this today, I think I could have used the term without it being a spoiler but I found the necessary circumlococution amusing.

Not too hard once I had got the ambiguous yellow out of the way.

Although I admit I didn't see the purple connection straight away even once I was told what it is.

I was referring to the same purple category as we had today and I thought your comment about blue was bizarro. I couldn't see how you could think those items were in the same category and not have the correct category. It makes much more sense with the categories that your link says were for 162.

That's the thing about Connections: you only need three of the colours to be easy for the whole thing to be easy - the last can be ridiculously obscure, because it'll be the left-over category. Mind you, like I remember someone else saying on this thread, I do try to work out the category for the last four before clicking on them.

On Connections on BBC2, you get 1 point each for identifying the groups, 1 point each for the first three groups you can say what the connection is, and if you get all four you get 3 points extra, which highlights the issue that you only need to know 3 to get the 4 groups.

After I decided that there was a connection between three of the purples, I will admit to saying the others outloud in an attempted American accent to see what would fit, and it sort of worked. It did remind me at the time a little of this:

Had to think a little and would never have got purple.

I had a very vague notion of it given to me by one of the red herrings that ended up the blue group but was only done by elimination.

I was thinking along similar lines. There was one purple that I recognised and one blue that would also fit in something like the purple category, but I was one short on blue and it was the only one that would fit.

Since everyone who normally does this has had a go, I'll be more explicit. The blue group one that I had focussed on at the very stary was Rather - thinking Dan Rather. I thrn saw Stern and thought first of all of Daniel Stern, and looked for other Dan/Daniels and didn't know any. Then thought of Howard Stetn, and thought of broadcasters of some connection, same result as the Dans, even though it was closer. Got the yellow and green. Saw the sort of qualufier connection for blue. Was still dead set on Rather as part of the purples. Tried forcing Gross into the blues. Gave up, put Rather in, and got to find put the detailed collection of purples, 3 of whom were like Vienna to me.

Given all the usual suspects have had a go, purple jumped out at me because of woodchuck. As soon as I saw that, I was thinking tongue twisters, and seashells and peppers appeared. I struggled for a little while because I wasn't sure if the NYT would use the tongue twister I know for fuzzy, which is more of a spoonerism. And i suspect they didn't as there is another one of which I was unaware.

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear,
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair,
Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t really fuzzy,
Was he?

That doesn't really seem like a tongue twister. It's certainly not as good as the fuzzy duck one which I can't recite in public.

I'm guessing Steve is thinking percussion should have been involved instead of the offered word. It was certainly my first thought when I looked at the options. The other possibility is that wood should have been attached to one word. It seemed a bit loose to me as I tend to think in orchestral terms, but close enough to make no difference.

Yes, I did think it should have been called "percussion", but that wasn't a category mistake. In any case, as jeremyp points out, it didn't specifically say "orchestra".

A "super" in the USA is short for superintendent and is like a caretaker or janitor for a block of flats.

Also a test key is the answers, if that is the one you were having trouble with.

Hmmm... I'd say one of purple and blue are a stretch. Blue is a bit of a mess.

Which ones would you say are a stretch? Purple all seemed completely fine to me and blue was also reasonable but slightly American oriented.

Although I did get purple by accident because I got the category completely wrong.

I was just being a bit dumb with purple.

Blue, my issue was that while sad is a synonym for blue, it's not really for pornographic rather than erotic and It's not realky a synonym as it has to be added as an adjective. Similarly for Democratic - I think it would have worked better with Democrat as it's only as an adjective in specific circumstances will it be interchangeable, and again other than with blood, noble isn't a synonym. Nothing wrong just a bit messy.

Fairly easy, once I'd rejected a few red herrings. The green connection was pathetic, which is why I got it last - I'd rejected it as another red herring.

I don't see how they had that as the 'easier' blue section, given the obscurity of that entry.

As to its 'sportiness', I fear that battle was lost a long time ago with so many other examples.

Presumably, it'll be one of those events that are awarded points by a panel of judges, which are a bit problematical, because if the subjectivity of it, unlike most events, where the winner is the competitor who crosses the line first, or the team that scores the most goals - objective and unarguable.

I hadn't either. I didn't even get that it was whales. I just got the blues as possible adjectives and the purples as nouns. And a spatula doesn't have slots, unless you're American and apparently using a fish slice.

Really? I'd heard of both right whales and fin whales. Slightly put off by the American spelling of "grey".

Purple was poor. I know "slot" is an American contraction of "slot machine" but spatulas are not things I think of as having slots. I suppose they can have.

Really? I'd heard of both right whales and fin whales. Slightly put off by the American spelling of "grey".

Purple was poor. I know "slot" is an American contraction of "slot machine" but spatulas are not things I think of as having slots. I suppose they can have.
Are you saying you're surprised at Aruntraveller never having heard of a right whale (I hadn't either), or are you reading his comment as nobody having heard of it, which which could be a reading but isn't here,

I am surprised that neither of you had heard of a right whale.

Presuming the 3 yellows are bacon - bringing home the bacon, lettuce - one of a number of green veg slang including cabbage and kale as representing 'greenbacks' US dollars, and used in Guys and Dolls.
Cheese I didn't know but is apparently because food parcels in the US given out as assistance had cheese in them, and cheddar is also used.

Having said that, I guessed at it being sandwich related.

It's deceptive. All you see is the four correct lines, but the reality is it took me ages to get started and ages to get the third row. For me, I'd rate it as harder than 304 even though I made some mistakes in that one.

I'd add that I find that often words in the purple group just don't seem to fit the general set of words. There's an example today which I will leave till others have done the board but a couple of days ago it was 'Nicks' - there were no other words with the verb constriction so I wondered what other context I could use it in, immediately thought of Stevie Nicks, and went looking for other lead singers.

I still can't see it, just glad I spotted the other three categories.

As with Jeremyp, not convinced by purple. As for blue is that the 4th time we've had a similar grouping?

It recently dawned on me that the purple link is often an affix that goes before or after the grid word, but I don't think they do that with any other colour, so I will look for that from now on. Of course, if I've got the other three, the link doesn't matte, but I like to work it out before clicking on enter, if possible.

OK. Well purple works fine if you are an American.

Yellow is OK.

Blue works except one, and that may just be an Americanism.
