NY Times Connections game (for those of us that are too stupid to play Wordle)

[smokymountainrain]

almost too easy. i didn't know what tamarind was so i left that category for last, but otherwise everything jumped out right away.

[Bo Diddley]

Pretty easy. Just took me a minute to recognize the dance moves.

Yeah, that was a bit more challenging and I made one mistake as I had Vogue in the fashionable category. And I didn't know the Worm or Floss were dance movies but it was the last category for me so no prob. But I'm showing my age. If only they'd used the Twist, the Jerk, the Watusi, the Mashed Potatoes, or even the Charleston (all of which would hace had some fun crossover possibilities)....

Hey, that was fun. Missed one today trying to guess dance #4.

[Copelius]

Teeth and suck came easy. I then recognized various dance names. I almost always get the last one without figuring out the connection but because there are only 4 left.

[Copelius]

Rare, for me, in order of difficulty. Still no idea the connection on the last one solved.

[Bo Diddley]

Yeah that was a tough one. Made one mistake. I didn't make the purple connection at all. C+bird? Ok.

[SteelBlue]

Exact same experience today.I guess we got a new hint for future puzzles with that purple group.

[Northwestcoug]

Me too. Complete guess. I was thinking 'peoples names that start with Wes? You know, Wes Craven and Wes Clark.

[Bo Diddley]

That's where I was going as well. But I'm terrible with famous names, so those categories are a black hole for me.

[PaloAltoCougar]

I'm in the club of making one mistake and finishing only because there were only four words left--I still don't understand the purple category. But at least yesterday and today are a return to challenging...

[Bo Diddley]

One mistake on countries. My last four were the silent T's. Couldn't make the connection.

When I saw there were at least five countries, I thought about it a bit more and the NBA came to mind. It went quickly after that. The group with PASTY was solved immediately because we've dined in Cornwall.
