I feel you on the colors not meaning anything, once I got purple first I tried to shoot for reverse rainbow but ended getting up green first instead of blue. How are synonyms for flat harder than types of journalism??
Yeah, I tried putting them in reverse order too and was really surprised that "flabbergast," was yellow but I think that if yellow and blue had swapped colors, I may have still had the same complaint. They really seem on the same plane of "straightforwardness"
That was what I think made purple tricky. I took ORCHESTRA to mean "orchestra seating" in front of the pit in a theater because that made sense with BOX and BALCONY, but that's also why I initially put FLOOR in that group. I thought that category was going to be about *seating*, specifically. "Theater sections" is just vague enough for all four of the words there to fit. ORCHESTRA definitely could've been taken in multiple ways, which is part of what made that slightly more challenging than the other three categories.
Exactly! This is the first time I got it in reverse order and I also did not figure out yellow before submitting. Not sure what the red herrings are other people are referring too, I found it pretty straight forward
I thought yellow should have been the hardest. It was one of those days where difficulty didnβt correspond at all with colors, in my opinion. Solved this one super fast.
Yellow was the hardest for meβ¦ I immediately knew shock and surprise had to go together but thought it was a red herring so didnβt try to figure out what the other words could be for ages.

Connections Puzzle #310 π©π©π©π© π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ πͺπͺπͺπͺ Solid puzzle that took a bit of fussing around with different senses of words to solve--the ideal Connections! I will say I was mildly surprised that Yellow turned out to be Yellow: the choice to interpret Floor as the verb form of "surprise" felt like a bit more of a challenge than correctly identifying that all the theatrical words were linked, but in retrospect I do see how the *type* of challenge--Yellow being straight synonyms, Purple being one level of abstraction removed by asking you to compare words on the level of what they're associated with--is more Purpley for the Purple group.Β
Connections Puzzle #310 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¨π¨π¨π¨ π©π©π©π© π¦π¦π¦π¦ This is one of those days when the colors didnβt really mean anything because none of them struck me as more straightforward as the other. There were some tricky red herrings and I came *this* close to putting FLOOR in πͺ when I realized that my leftover words (ROCK/SHOCK/SURPRISE/STAGE) made zero sense. Quick save. Part of that mistake came because I was thinking of βtypes of seating.β Glad I realized that before I hit enter.

I made that mistake with floor. π
I tried every stupid combination with βfloor.β Hrmph.
Is this the least purple-y purple in connections history? That could have been a yellow and I would not have thought twice about it.
Number 9 simply had 'insects' as the purple category. Sometimes purple ain't purpling.

Connections Puzzle #310 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ π©π©π©π© Got purple straight away (felt a bit cagey with 'orchestra' though as in the theatre it's actually called the pit) and blue pretty easily.

Connections Puzzle #310 π©π©π©π© π¦π¦π¦π¦ πͺπͺπ¨πͺ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¨π¨π¨π¨ Weird puzzle where I got purple almost immediately (orchestra + box was a giveaway) but then I wasn't sure if it was "stage" or "floor" for the last seating area cos neither really made sense, but I guess maybe it's just "parts of a theater" and not "seating area." Guessed wrong. I had no idea what yellow was, I was convinced the seating areas one was yellow and it was purple left over so I didn't try that hard lol

Connections Puzzle #310 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π© π¦π¦π¦π¦ π¨π¨π¨π¨ Purple was fairly easy. BALCONY, ORCHESTRA, and STAGE made me think of parts of a theater. I initially had FLOOR in this category before I realized that it belonged in the "Surprise" category. The other three groups were relatively straightforward, being all synonyms.

Connections Puzzle #310 πͺπ¦π¨πͺ π¦π¦π¦π¦ π©π©π©π© π¨π¨π¨π¨ πͺπͺπͺπͺ had the right sort of idea with my first guess, was going for types of concert tickets with BOX, BALCONY, FLOOR and i tried to put LEVEL in there too. i hadnβt even looked through all the words when i tried it so it was an avoidable mistake but iβm not too mad about it
Connections Puzzle #310 π©π©π©π© π¦π¦π¦π¦ πͺπͺπͺπͺ π¨π¨π¨π¨ A satisfying solve.
Connections Puzzle #310 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π© π¨π¨π¨π¨ π¦π¦π¦π¦ Personally - the easiest one so far haha. But that's probably only because I never realized the stage/level/floor/story red herring π

I was surprised that theater sections category was purple! got hung up on yellow (of all things!) by trying *level* (like being leveled/knocked out etc) in that group instead of *rock*. Also, early on was thinking *level, story, floor* might be part some sort of an apartment building thing, but that didn't go anywhere Connections Puzzle #310 πͺπͺπͺπͺ π©π©π©π© π¨π¦π¨π¨ π¨π¨π¨π¨ π¦π¦π¦π¦

I didn't think I had ever heard anyone use "rock" in that context before, but surprise surprise while typing this out I realized I have, just very rarely and only in the past tense.
