There was some strange words/phrases I have never seen before so I googled, and the AI summary revealed what the Connections category is.
Am I the only one who expected something more Independence Day themed?
I don't drink often. I'll have a beer when it's offered to me but it's not really my choice of drink so... What's the best way of studying for alcohol-related categories on Connections?
I couldn't get the puzzle completed on July 1st but I got lucky on the blue category for the July 4th puzzle.
I got the TROPICAL DRINKS category, no problem, first thing I saw, HURRICANE, ZOMBIE, PAINKILLER, SCORPION, except I thought the category was MEMBER OF A BAND.
anyone else feel like there is an inordinate amount of alcohol related answers, especially lately? i remember a few months back, there was like a 4 day streak of alcohol categories (cocktail drinks/names, brands of beer, etc). as someone who doesnt drink, these are always so hard to get, it’s frustrating!! anyone else notice this?
did anyone else try the cranberries songs: linger, dreams, ode and zombie lol
Me: “She’s getting tougher.”
Wife: “…or we’re getting dumber.”

I love connections and do it every day, but is there a version with UK references? As an Englishman the US sports teams are often impossible to spot.
Thanks.
Edit: https://grouple-uk-word-puzzle-game.base44.app The BBC 2 show And the custom made connections are all good
Hi everyone, I worked on this one for almost an hour. I think it's very doable but not easy. Criticism is more than welcome.
Does anyone else run into this issue in thr NYT Games app where the font is too big for the boxes? This is on my Samsung S26.
Every once in a while it will look normal, but most of the time both Connections and Strands have font issues. Usually I can see enough of the word to understand it, but other times even the answers are too big and I can't actually read the category.
Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling. Argh.
Holy cow has any single mistake ever been made by this many people before?
Overriding principle: play the game the way that brings you the most enjoyment. If reverse rainbows add to the fun for you, no need to downvote me - I'm glad you enjoy that element of the game.
My enjoyment of the game increased long ago when I gave up trying to discern green from yellow, and all that nonsense. I do some pre-solving to avoid red herrings, but I'll submit in whatever order helps me check I'm on the right track. If purple comes last I'll happily sit back and muse before I submit. Anyone else joining me in these sunny uplands of liberation from colour / color?
Otherwise, I guess getting purple first or the full reverse rainbow is important if...
...you like getting the badges and burnishing your stats - but to me they are just a tick of a box that only matters because you think it matters;
...you want to be competitive with other posters on this sub - but I find I satisfy my competitiveness by completing the puzzle with few mistakes and seeing how that compares with others.
...you want to demonstrate your total domination of the game - well... Some skills have value in the wider world - vocabulary, general knowledge and a bit of craftiness for logical leaps and educated guesses - so I get great satisfaction when I succeed with those. But other skills are pretty meaningless beyond Connections - say, mind-reading how Wyna has allocated colours - so I feel no loss ignoring such a task.
Based on their recent comments, this might be of interest to u/Enthooziest or u/Turbo_Fresh 😊.
