I still like my original yellow group better, but not very good at thinking two rows ahead.

Total fail! Too many that fit into cross categories very nicely, but not what they wanted.

I wobbled myself right out of the game and the correct last two categories were realized with one guess remaining, but I inexplicably botched that.

I just filled in the blanks randomly, could not come up with four of a kind. In retrospect, I might only have gotten two of the categories. :mrgreen: :geek: :ugeek:

Connections has a lot of ways to trip up. I’m trying to profile or get a bead on the thought process of the editor or editors on the direction of maybe where the categories are heading. The juggling category yesterday really ticked me off as who the heck juggles one of anything? One ring, one beanbag, one torch, no, people juggle plurals of things or it isn’t juggling!
