Anyone tried the new game 'Connections'

I had a language warp, read one of the purple words as its translation from Latin, and spent quite a while trying to match that translated word. Embarrassing.

Is that the one that only makes sense if you imagine it said in an American accent, rather than an English one?

I could only get three of the four yellows anyway, so didn't even get the purples by default this time.

Oldnproud Sat 27-Apr-24 08:56:31

... three of the four blues, not yellows ...

The one of the purple ones doesn't work in any accent. Or does it? I am swithering now.

Number 2 purple? Really?

Some regional American accent?

Siope Sat 27-Apr-24 11:02:15

I am forced to back down. My midwestern American husband says it just like the purple version.

Iโ€™m going to add a icture tomorrow which might explain why they pronounce it like that. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

I think I temporarily went colour blind - I was definitely referring to one of the purples, not the blues, when I said it only worked with an Anerican accent!

Accidentally deleted a purple square.
Struggled with the blue group.
