I literally have no idea what blue is talking about...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

BlueMeans there's a lot of a thing.

Pack is fairly obvious.

"A whole host of reasons" is a fairly common phrase to mean someone has a lot of reasons for a decision.

"Sea" is a bit less common, but you might say something like "he looked down upon a sea of friendly faces".

"Drove" is honestly one I would consider wrong, but only on a technicality. I would consider this sense of drove to be a "lost singular", in the way that "evitable" is a lost positive (from the real negative "inevitable") or "whelmed" is a lost form from under- and overwhelmed. You never see "a drove of" something, but you do see something "in droves".

Thanks for the walkthrough, what a journey.

Great explanation!

Tap for spoilerI do agree with you regarding drove vs droves, but that’s something Connections does sometimes. I think they sacrifice accuracy to avoid giving a hint (in this case that it’s more than one). I can’t name other examples off the top of my head, but I’ve definitely noticed it before.

I have definitely seen it do things that I didn't agree with mainly because they weren't a part of my dialect before (I can't recall a very good example of that, but one that is kinda similar but not quite was when they used "deli" to mean a place that sells sandwiches: where I live, delis tend to sell the meats that would go on a sandwich, but not the bread...so like ham, salami, that kind of thing), but I don't think I've ever seen an example where the use in their preferred dialect it still required some fudging to get it to work.

Huzzah for purple first

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is purple typically the hardest?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

It’s listed as such, but I find it varies. Sometimes it just clicks in my head.

First time playing. Took me a minute to understand what was meant by connection.

I was trying to do word chains at first lol.

Like; ice cold -> cold shower -> shower curtain -> etc.
