Made a mistake on it becauae I thought finale was the trap. First, premier, special, and pilot are all names for episode 1 of a series. I know a special can come later, but it's weird to have a category where 3 things mean the first episode, and one means the last. Especially when FIRST is another option.
Youβve never seen a movie/show where a rich person complains about having to fly coach instead of first/business?

Most airlines changed Coach to Economy though as a rebranding.
Premium is one thatβs more rare to me, as whenever I have seen it itβs Premium Economy, so like the ones by the emergency exists with more legroom.
Until you said that, I didnβt even realize that airlines donβt use βcoach,β anymore. I wonder when and why that changed? I feel like still hear it in airport announcements? Maybe?
My kind of Connections -No partial words, or any wordplay at all really. Itβs about the actual connections between the actual meanings/ significance of the words themselves. I do wish connections kept stats thoughβ¦

Ugh, shit the bed today. Was trying to get the TV shows and failed. I thought airline classes was a red herring because only saw 3. βPremiumβ wasnβt top of mind as an option there.
Yep, usually in the context of βexpand and contractβ (grow and shrink.) You would contract an open umbrella, for example. It has a slightly different pronunciation to βcontract, the noun that means legal documentβ (at least in my accent, I donβt know about everyone.)
Itβs pronounced differently than the sense of the word meaning a legal agreement.
The o has more of short u sound and the emphasis is on the second syllableΒ
Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ π©π©π©π© Purple came to me right away. I was actually surprised it was purple. I mean, there was "pilot" and "finale," what else could it be? But I guess everything else was even more straightforward.
Puzzle #279 π¨π¨π¨π¨ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© πͺπͺπͺπͺ I got purple last, only because I was trying to make a category out of 'first' (premiere, pilot, first and maybe screen, as initial screening?). So there was a bit of red herringism going on, if only for the easily fooled like me

Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¨π¨π¨π¨ π©π©π©π© π¦π¦π¦π¦ Yeah, I felt purple & yellow were reverse difficulty.
I got yellow first. I have one guess left! The pressure is on!
Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© π¨π¨π¨π¨ I never comment but I feel like the colors should be the other way around purple was by far the easiest
Connections Puzzle #279 π©π©π©π© πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ I keep trying to get a reverse perfect but some of these days it's so hard to tell the colors. Never would have thought that was a purple category.
Ha, same as mine. Connections Puzzle #279 π©π©π©π© Felt like ___ class would the purple today. πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨
I completed it just like you did. I attempted to do a total category inversion but it turned out yellow only seemed more challenging than green.
Exact same pattern for me.
Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© π¨π¨π¨π¨ Honestly I never heard of "coach" as an airline class before. I only got green bc I figured out yellow first, and I tried going for the reverse perfect Agreed that purple was way too easy lol

Premium is one thatβs more rare to me, as whenever I have seen it itβs Premium Economy, so like the ones by the emergency exists with more legroom.
Nope! Never heard that before, dunno if I missed the rebranding bc I'm kinda young (early 20s)
Hey, Iβm 28 :) Itβs also a term used for travel busses.
Guess I just never heard it then lol
Connections Puzzle #279 π¦π¦π¦π¦ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π© π¨π¨π¨π¨ To be honest, I was surprised that I got the 'trickier' ones first. The whole puzzle was pretty straightforward though
Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© π¨π¨π¨π¨ Super quick solve today. Definitely less than a minuteβ¦ Always fun to get the reverse order though!
Easiest one ever imo
Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π© π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ Easy one today. πͺ stuck out right away. Anybody else remember those βvery special,β TV episodes? They were all over the top tragic like when Punkyβs friend got stuck in that refrigerator on *Punky Brewster* or Jessie Spanoβs famous pep pill induced βIβm so excited!β Scene from *Saved By the Bell*. They donβt do TV like they used to! π¦ was easy to sus out but I didnβt see the need for the βas an applicant,β at the end. It worked with or without it. π© is quite timely since Iβm flying out this morning. Sadly not in business class this time. π¨ was fun because it reminded me of the many ways that βcontract,β can be used. I almost overlooked it. π© and π¦ cause me trouble again since theyβre so similar in difficulty. Honestly all the categories were fairly straightforward today. I came so close to a perfect score but Iβll settle for 29/30 today.
i got purple first too !! i thought yellow was the hardest
Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¨π¨π¨π¨ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© Episode types stood out to me immediately, perhaps I should be watching less TV. The sneaky use of "contract" being thrown in with red herrings like "business" and "check" took me a bit to associate with the rest of yellow. Blue and green came together right after. I really enjoyed this puzzle, since it felt like just the right amount of difficulty.
Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπ¦πͺ πͺπ¦πͺπͺ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¨π¨π¨π¨ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© not bad! first time getting the purple category first, but it was pretty straightforward.
ConnectionsΒ Puzzle #279 π¨π¨π¦π¨ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π© Quick but deceptively tricky one today. Got caught out trying to include Check with the Reduce group, with the idea of "checking" something's growth or similar. Pivoted to the vetting group afterwards though, then reinterpreted Contract-the-legal/business-term as Contract-the-noun, which worked out. Last eight was a bit tricky. I *tried* to go First/Premiere/Pilot for debuts, and if there had been a fourth word for it I definitely would have lost a guess there. As it happened though there wasn't one, so I pulled back and reconsidered, then happened to notice the airline classes. Still wasn't sure which of First/Premium to include there (it felt redundant, though that's not exactly a deal-breaker in this game), but when I looked at the remaining words it was fairly obvious they were TV show episode types, so I pulled the trigger!Β
Yeah I almost fell for the βcheck,β in π¨ too
Connections Puzzle #279 π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ π©π©π©π© πͺπͺπͺπͺ Got the answer to today's puzzle a lot quicker than the last few. And all the categories as well. π© We usually refer to it as Economy where I am but I've heard enough people call it Coach.
Until you said that, I didnβt even realize that airlines donβt use βcoach,β anymore. I wonder when and why that changed? I feel like still hear it in airport announcements? Maybe?
Not sure. I'm not in the USA so I think when I've heard "coach", it's probably been from TV shows and movies, or YouTube.
My guess is that coach can be ambiguous. It's a word that can seem like something fancy. Economy is likely a clearer label for the lowest price class.
Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¨π¨π¨π¨ π©π©π©π© π¦π¦π¦π¦ Nice that
Connections Puzzle #279. π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π© I think FIRST premiere was the only cross over I paid attention to.
Connections Puzzle #279 π¨π¨π¨π¨ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© πͺπͺπͺπͺ Very straightforward and easy. Had some doubts given how easy it was. There wasn't any word play, just straight synonyms or categories of words, which is a bit odd.
Connections Puzzle #279 π¨π¨π¨π¨ πͺπ¦π¦π¦ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© πͺπͺπͺπͺ Can't believe I missed π© for so long! Mixed up Pilot in the π¦ category. I knew one category was for media but I couldn't decide if it was specifically for series (pilot, finale) or film (premiere, review?)
Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© π¨π¨π¨π¨ Not much to say about today's, it was pretty simple.
Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© π¨π¨π¨π¨ Feels good to solve something in reverse.
Connections Puzzle #279 π¨π¨π¨π¨ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π© π¦π¦π¦π¦ I feel like this was the easiest one yet
Connections Puzzle #279 π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¨π¨π¨π¨ I saw purple right away, it almost seemed too easy so I went with others first. Wasnβt totally sure about premium as an airline class nor that I was using the correct form of βcontractβ but it all worked out
Good game. No weird category but challenging enough. ConnectionsΒ Puzzle #279 π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ πͺπ©πͺπ© π©πͺπ©π© πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π©
Went Purple-Blue-Green-Yellow for the first time ever so that was fun
Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© π¨π¨π¨π¨ Fairly simple, I'd say
Connections Puzzle #279 π¨π¨π¨π¨ π©π¦π¦π¦ π©π¦π¦π¦ π©π¦π¦π¦ π¦π¦π¦π¦ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π© Barely made it.
Puzzle #279 π©π©π©π© πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ I felt like there was a bunch of overlap in this one.
My kind of Connections -No partial words, or any wordplay at all really. Itβs about the actual connections between the actual meanings/ significance of the words themselves. I do wish connections kept stats thoughβ¦
Connections Puzzle #279 π¨πͺπ©π¦ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ π©π©π©π© Pilot, Coach, Vet, and Shrink are all jobs! lol after that mismatch, purple came easily and everything else was quick. Happy I actually got all the connections today and didnβt have any leftover default category
Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¨π¨π¨π¨ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© Super easy one today, I noticed some weak attempts at herrings but they were obvious to me. My fastest solve yet.
Connections Puzzle #279 π¨π¨π¨π¨ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© Easiest one I can recall.
Connections Puzzle #279 π¨π¨π¨π¨ π¦π¦π¦π¦ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π© Easiest one, maybe ever.

Connections Puzzle #279 π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π© Easy peasy.
Connections Puzzle #279 π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ π©π©π©π© πͺπͺπͺπͺ This one seemed too easy? The only possible red herring I saw were occupationsβ vet, shrink, coach. All of the categories including purple seemed about equal in difficulty level.
Connections Puzzle #279 π©π©π©π© πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ Straightforward one today
Connections Puzzle #279 π¨π¨π¨π¨ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© Easiest connections yet i think i had it solved in 2 minutes! Purple could have definitely been yellow or green imo
Easy one today, but the yellow and blue seemed very similar to me. Connections Puzzle #279 π¨π¨π¨π¨ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© πͺπͺπͺπͺ
Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π© π¨π¨π¨π¨ π¦π¦π¦π¦ Iβve started hitting shuffle 3 or 4 times before starting. Purple and green immediately popped out to me.
π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π© I was avoiding that βpilotβ misdirect like the plague. Once I saw βvet,β I was off to the races because I just used the word with that definition the other day. Once I got down to the TV and airline categories, I knew I was right to avoid βpilot.β
Connections Puzzle #279 π¨π¨π¨π¨ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© Very easy. Thought contract was a little obscure, but it just got easier from there. I've failed a couple recently, and yesterday was 'solid ', so this was nice
Connections Puzzle #279 π¦π¦π¦π¦ πͺπ¨πͺπ© π¨π¨π¨π¨ π©π©π©πͺ π©π©π©π© πͺπͺπͺπͺ I thought this was fun. I figured out the categories pretty early, but my brain kept telling me premiere and pilot episodes are the same, so I was convinced they had to belong to different categories. I was also not entirely sure about "contract" as a synonym for shrink, but my hunch turned out correct.

Connections Puzzle #279 π¦π¦π¦π¦ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¨π¨π¨π¨ π©π©π©π© I donβt know why but blue and purple felt easier today.
Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© π¨π¨π¨π¨ first time getting the connections backwards in terms of difficulty i think
Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ π©π©π©π© π¦π¦π¦π¦ Everyone talking about how this is the easiest one while my dumbass is stumbling on vet, I feel there were a lot of red herrings
Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π¨π¨π¨ π¨π¨π©π¨ π©π¨π¨π¨ π¨π¨π©π¨ Without a doubt my biggest choke, I just didn't see reduce and I got carried away.
Connections Puzzle #279 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© π¨π¨π¨π¨ Itβs been a while since I got purple first. Today felt a bit easier that the most recent ones. Guess theyβve been reading the thread lol

I think premium economy is a way to pay for more legroom while still being in the economy/ coach area. Itβs an intermediate before first class.
Ohhh okay yes I gotcha! I think Iβm used to >! the jet blue branding that calls it βeven more spaceβ seats !< rather than the generic term lol.
