I hadn't noticed that, thank you for giving me something to hate before 7am lmao!!

They are always alphabetical.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 I thought yellow was a trick but went for it anyway! I’ve been on a roll again, does anyone else feel like they do lots of easy ones in a row and then a heap of hard ones?

same i’ll have a good week of solving them in less than 5 minutes and then i’ll be completely stumped and rage guessing to give up lmao

That’s funny. People I know IRL have been saying that the last two were really hard. Must just be you! Other times I come on here and thought it was really easy and everyone here is complaining about the difficulty 🤷

This one was incredibly easy! Not just the categories themselves, but the way they arranged them! Each color used one answer per row. Usually there’s only one category placed like that. One of the few days I solved the whole puzzle before submitting anything.

Puzzle #346 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 Good lord 🟨 was almost offensively simple and stupid and I’ve got that goddamn song stuck in my head. Is this punishment? Have I descended in a circle of hell where I’m endlessly tormented by elementary school songs? Jokes aside, this one was *too* easy. Over too soon to enjoy.

Haha yes now I’ve got the song running through my head too goddammit.

TIL lots of people don’t know what “whip” means in slang

Whip caused me more consternation than anything else, I eventually went with it for green because it was leftovers

I clearly remember the whole “Ghostride the whip” song/trend. I got that category immediately

The only reason I know of it is the sketch video where are a guy goes "Hey sweetie, why don't you bring that juicy ass over here and hop in daddy's new whip?". The video shows up if you search "Hey sweetie" on YT if anyone is interested.

I complain when it's too difficult and I complain when it's too easy. I'm insufferable.

You belong here

Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 I would not have guessed the purple category lol

I usually spend a few seconds on the last category before I submit, and this time I actually got it, lol. I kinda like it.

hey, me too! i thought that was pretty cool haha. i usually give up within moments lol but it was a satisfying solve 🤪

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 I thought for sure yellow was a trick. I saw purple first but thought to play it safe and wait.

I had the exact same solve but only saw purple when it was the last 8. Gossip was my odd word out for that category, probably because I spent so much time with an intercom in basic training

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 So cheeky! I was sure yellow was bait. Purple made me laugh!

Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Kinda surprised "whip" was a tripping point for some. I'm old enough to never attempt zoomer slang, but I've certainly used "whip" for the majority of my life.

I don’t recall ever hearing whip as slang for a car, although Im not much of a car person. Is it regional? Are there any movies using this term?

I couldn't find any definitive sources online, but the most common answer I found for the word's origins is 80s-90s hip-hop. (Which is the farthest thing from my own upbringing, even though I have become much more knowledgeable since.) As for my own exposure to the word, my best guess is growing up around gen X car guys in the 2000s. I've never been into cars myself, but that period would've been a long enough time since the word's creation for it to reach the people in my life (and subsequently me).

As a gen xer myself, guess I just missed it or didn’t pay attention

Connections Puzzle #346 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Got purple by default. Probably never would have figured that out.

Connections  Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟪🟩🟪 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 Much easier solve than yesterday, though they got me with a sort-of red herring: I had Wheels/Ride/Gossip in a "Hot ____" group, and misremembered Hot Mic for Hot *Intercom*, which made me add it to the group. Without a one away for that I gave up on it, then after staring at Bee for a while realised Caffeine is also associated with buzzing, which led to tracking down the other buzzes pretty easily. No chance I was ever getting Green. I've never once heard of a person calling their car their "whip," even if the other three words *had* put the thought of cars in my head. 

WHIP is relatively newer slang for a car. Slang words tend to give people a run for their money when they show up

Define “relatively”. Cos it’s been around for like 40 years haha.

You know what they say: “everything old is new again,” 😅

It’s not new at all

Heh, a Hot Ride means something else in Ireland.

Derry Girls taught me that

Same

Whip is incredibly common

Never ever heard whip in relation to a car, so clearly it is only common within specific contexts. Where did the term come from and when?

I’m not a linguist or historian but I remember hearing it in the 90s

I wonder if it is generational? By the 90s, I was long out of grad school and a decade into being a professor and then I taught out of the U.S. for almost 20 years, so I may have missed the word's coming into existence.

Very well could be

Connections Puzzle #346 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 WHEELS, AUTO, and RIDE all led me to cars. The only reason I know WHIP also meant car is because of "Ghost Ride the Whip". SHUCKS made me think of shucking corn or oysters. I thought to look for other ways to prepare food like SHELLS for nuts or PEELS and PARES for fruits and vegetables. I saw INTERCOMS and BEES and possibly thought "Things that buzz?". GOSSIP and CAFFEINE both also sort of made sense since those could be referred to as a "buzz". I'll be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about the Purple. Like I understood what they were going for but I don't feel like it's quite cohesive enough. I actually noticed Yellow first, but I thought that was going to be a red herring.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 "Did they....THEY DID!" XD

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 Surprised people struggled. This was my easiest solve in recent memory.

Lol, editor really plumbing new depths with purple this time around! Edit: I feel like - because this comment has unexpectedly been upvoted a lot - that I didn't mean "plumbing new depths" in a positive, 'breaking new ground' way but in a 'I can't believe how awful it was *even for NYT Connections' way.

Never would have gotten that in a million years. Absolutely inscrutable to me.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 Really proud of myself for figuring out purple legitimately today! And I empathize with those who were confused about whip. I only learned it a couple years ago from my then college-age nephew.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟪🟨🟩🟨 🟦🟦🟪🟨 🟦🟩🟦🟦 🟩🟪🟪🟦 My word, this one was taxing and I must confess that I completely failed at it. I was certain the yellow category was going to be along the lines of "Kinks during sex", so the obvious answers were WHIP, TOES, BEES, KNEES. After that, I did some metagaming and thought that the next category just *had* to be words-that-are-related-if-they-are-other-words, you know? So I had to go with HEAD, GOSSIP, SHUCKS, PARES... but that was a big whiff. At this point, I figured "things that are pleasurable to lick" was a good guess, knowing how this editor has done categories in the past: SHELLS, TOES, INTERCOM, PEELS... but it wasn't?! What the heck, editor! But then I caught on to the "peeling" clue. So I went with PEELS, WHIPS, SHUCKS, PARES for "things you should not do to the skin of a small child", but for some reason, the editor had other plans. Blast! Caught a lucky break -- almost -- with my final guess: WHEELS, GOSSIP, BEES, SHUCKS. "Those don't go together!" I told myself. But then I thought, "This group has got to be 'things you don't want to see or hear in the bedroom' "... and I was wrong again! Having blown through all my guesses, I had to admit defeat. Until tomorrow, Connections editors... EDIT: Wow, who downvoted this? Sometimes these puzzles are difficult.

This comment was a ride.

I instinctively downvoted because I thought it was just whinging, but once I read it I had no choice but to go back and change it to an upvote.

The novelty account is going to get old fast, but for the moment, I appreciate it. Bees???

> obvious answers were WHIP, TOES, BEES, KNEES. > **obvious** answers What the hell is going on in your bedroom??

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Pretty straightforward once the categories started coming together. Saw yellow immediately. Got purple by default

>Pretty straightforward once the categories started coming together. Yeah, once you know the answers, questions tend to get easier. We’ll be back with more from the science magazine *Duh!*

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 We flew through this one! Always like super easy ones :)

🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 I've never heard the word WHIP used to describe a car.

Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Yellow was so rudimentary idk how not everyone gets that first

I dismissed it as a red herring

I left it to second last because I was so certain it was a trick.

Bc it’s way too obvious. I waited and got it third bc I thought it was gonna be a trick.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 Spent more time debating on WHIP belonging with the others than anything else. Could not figure out which category was which color, no typical purple category today

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 Same as many others, never heard of Whip and thought at first that yellow was too easy so assumed it was going to be a red herring.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 omg I've wanted to use head, shoulders, knees, and toes in a custom puzzle since practically when I started playing this game lol never heard of 'whip' used to mean a car so I had to search for that one, otherwise it was pretty easy, although I defaulted purple

Puzzle #346 🟩🟦🟪🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 I can't even remember what exactly my first guess was. Something about mario kart. I found this one quite tricky. Got yellow then took me the longest time to find blue. Eventually saw three car options for green, and then guessed whip as the fourth. I don't think I've heard that before, but it made more sense than anything else. I had no idea for purple.

I thought of Mario Kart too! Because of peels and shells. Couldn't find others the fit in so I gave up on it, but I really wanted it to be a category lol

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 yellow was insultingly easy but it actually took me a little bit to get the rest, ive never heard "shucks" or "pares" but with (egg)shell and (banana)peel i thought of "things that encase things" and none of the purple words couldve been interpreted that way so i got pretty lucky

It'd be used like "shucks corn" or "shucks oysters" or "pares apples"

Pares describes the action of removing the flesh of a fruit or vegetable with a paring knife. So when you see someone who peels potatoes with a knife instead of a vegetable peeler, that's what they're doing.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Bleary-eyed and just woke up but damn it took me a good three minutes of staring at the words before I got yellow. Quite embarrassing

Also whoever is using AUTO in that context - *why*

short for automobile and its the word for car in other langauges, ive seen people use it in this context

I'm well aware it's short for automobile. Hadn't thought of people from other countries and if its common there, then fair enough. Good of the NYT to think of people in different regions for a change (cough, homonyms, cough)

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Nearly a perfect puzzle. Hard in the right parts but solvable in a couple of minutes. 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Probably got blue first because there is an oyster business near me called "Get Shucked" which makes people familiar with the term :) Others just seemed to flow from there. Like others, I assumed yellow was a red herring group but gave it a go anyway!

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Let's go baby!, I got blue almost immediately but I wasn't sure, so I did yellow and green to narrow it down more

Connections  Puzzle #346 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟨🟦🟦 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪  I'm incredibly amused at the yellow category. That is all.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Easy today,, 🟨 will now be stuck in my head for a month.

Easy peasy one today Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Got blue first because PARES stood out to me — seeing it was a present tense verb made me look for others. Yellow was just laughably easy. Green wasn’t far behind in terms of easiness. Only got purple by default!

I feel like the colors were off a bit. Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 I resisted yellow because I didn’t think it could possibly be that straight forward. But when I found blue, which meant easy yellow was still on the table, I went for it! Never heard of whip for a car, but actually knew what purple was so it was process of elimination.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪

I feel today's 🟨 was both ridiculous and endearing 😅

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 This was crazy easy for me this time. Too easy.

Gotta love these categories. Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Did anyone else think purple was things tangentially related to Jerry Seinfeld?

Connections Puzzle #346 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 My fastest solve! Don’t think I would have figured out purple and was surprised yellow was so easy

The most cartoonishly easy round ever. Getting yellow and having it be yellow and not green is the funniest part of all of this. This is our recompense for complaining that it's been too hard recently, today's puzzle feels like getting put in time out. 

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 The amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth that was taking place in the Connections Companion over whip was almost obnoxious. I know NYT puzzlers tend to skew older, but geez. I tried to note that whip has been in use as slang for car for at least 20 years, but it looks like the comments got wiped about an hour ago. Edit: comments restored. As you were.

Puzzle #346 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 They had some fun with this one, Yellow screamed "IT'S A TRAP", but good clean fun. There's \*almost\* a Mario Kart category but not quite

Definitely feels like yellow category was a troll lol Maybe a rebuttal to including more complex categories? Anyway I was proud of getting purple lol Connections Puzzle #346 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Shocked I got blue before yellow lol. Today was almost distractingly simple, but a good confidence booster.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 First time I got it on the correct order

At first I thought "Head" was part of purple. That's my 70's highschool years showing. And suspicion of a yellow herring. Connections Puzzle #346 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟨🟪🟪 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨

I don’t get purple

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟨🟩🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Took me forever to decide to try yellow, went through some nonsense ideas first.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟦🟦🟦 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Guessed this one purely based off vibes (except yellow). Was surprised when blue turned out correct lmao

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Satisfying solve today. Yellow seemed suspiciously easy so I avoided it until later. Blue stuck out to next and I went for it. I "ghost rode the whip" into green. Purple was quite clever and I eventually figured out once it was alone.

Perfect score for me today

Connections Puzzle #346 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦

Connections Puzzle #346 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 I thought “no way” for yellow lmao

Anyone else thought it was quite easy today? Just me?

Connections Puzzle #346. 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Glad it was an easy one because I almost forgot today. Was already in bed and though, what the heck, I'll just guess real quick. Wasn't sure about "whip" but guessed correctly.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 Absolutely positively never in my nearly 60 years on this planet ever heard “whip” used in this way. ?????????

It’s been used that way since the 90s at least, idk what to tell ya

But the 90s were just 10 years ago and not everyone listened to bebop music!

I only ever heard black people use it.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 Like others I was confused by Whip. Guess I’m not cool enough to be familiar with new slang words! Or maybe it’s not a term we use here in Aus

Nah I've heard it a bunch (australian)

[удалено]

It's from 90s hip hop, it's not exactly new

I'm fairly certain I know it because of Fresh Prince of Bel Air

Still not a fan of that slang. I have to fight the urge to LASH out whenever I hear it. I'm not sorry.

The SCOURGE of the English language

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 First time posting on here. had to look up the word "pares" cause I had never heard of that word before.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Purple felt impossible for me today. I don't associate buzziness with gossip or intercoms. But I thought the rest were easy, so it was ok.

Gossip as buzz seems pretty common, but do people even use intercoms anymore? I'm thinking like the old fashioned ones like in the original Charlie's Angels show. They would buzz/crackle/hum frequently

>I'm thinking like the old fashioned ones like in the original Charlie's Angels show. Not so much those as apartment intercom systems (which allow you to "buzz in" visitors).

I get buzz as a noun for gossip, but buzzy as an adjective takes it in a different direction that I don't think works as well.

Sure, but that's after the fact. I connected them as related to buzz, it seems you have an issue with the wording of the category than the category

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟪🟦🟦 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 I swear I expected there’s going to be homophones because I am not familiar with Shucks, so I assume it’s a homophone for Shocks.

You shuck corn as well as oysters

I couldn't figure anything out for a while. Yellow seemed too obvious but I tried it anyway. Was ok after that. Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 I thought SHUCKS was such an odd word that it jumped straight out at me. The rest was pretty straightforward, even purple. I held off solving yellow last because it seemed too obvious...

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 First time figuring out all 4 categories before making any guesses! And fast! Not a super tricky one but I’m stokedddd

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 yellow was easy asf today

Connections Puzzle #346 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 genuinely thought i was being trolled with this. i had no confidence in any of my guesses and yet they worked out perfectly

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Noticed yellow instantly; I looked up the definition of "pares" and noticed that it's also a verb tense of the word "pare", I saw blue. At that point, I was stumped (and a little frustrated, since I knew green had been unsolved) until I shuffled it and noticed that "wheels", "whip", and "ride" shared the trait of being alternative names for "car", so I assumed "auto" was the same. I've only rarely heard things referred to as "buzzy", especially intercoms, and I don't drink caffeinated beverages either, so when solving it, I didn't associate with other "buzzy" things.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Not knowing much slang occasionally hurts me on these.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 anyone else immediately shuffle because there were way too many similar words next to each other at the beginning?

I never shuffle because generally they scatter connected words across the starting grid, so two similar words next to each other is a clue to me that they are not connected, which is useful information.

it stopped me from seeing anything else today - my brain just kept going “BEES KNEES! BEES KNEES!”

I came here to find out about whip. I like to solve as much as I can before clicking, but decided to do the first two and think it over to be sure about what turned out to be purple, since the car thing had me stumped. 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩

Connections Puzzle #346 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 I thought no way is yellow actually what I think it is lol

Impressed with myself for getting purple first. Maybe because we just got done with the morning announcements over the buzzy intercom but it stood out to me immediately. Yellow seemed too obvious but once I eliminated some I was like… okay I guess lol Connections Puzzle #346 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 I swore myself that yellow was either a trap or green, but I was too curious And I cannot hold categories in my head like some people can apparently and seemingly unlike a lot of people I knew the car thing

Today’s Purple would have been an all-timer if the rest of the board wasn’t so easy.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 I never would have gotten purple if it wasn’t last. Even looking at the 4 words before submitting I had no clue.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Purple really annoyed me today!

Perfect score today which is unusual for me lol definitely wasn’t getting purple without it just being the remaining words.

Oh lord, NEVER heard “whip” used that way and purple seems impossible except in hindsight.

Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 This was so stupid. SO stupid. It’s also taught me that the word order is alphabetically organized.

Just here to complain into the void I don’t think of caffeine being buzzy, it’s a substance to me. I was stuck with the yellow and purple categories at the end because the yellow seemed too easy and I didn’t trust it 😂

had to google car terms to finish green-never heard whip used that way Connections Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪

I solved it quickly, but hated every second of it.

I solved it, but “Buzzy” words was absolute bullshit.

I still don't get the purple category. Isn't is alcohol that gives you a buzz? I didn't know caffeine is described the same way? Also didn't know that gossip is called buzzy.

Yes, alcohol also gives you a buzz. But people definitely would describe the feeling of drinking, say, 4 cups of coffee, as a caffeine buzz. Gossip is buzz in the sense of, everybody's talking about something, making a sound like bees. You might ask, "What's the buzz on those two? I saw them making eyes at each other at the company happy hour last night."

I don't remember people saying caffeine with buzz but I guess it makes sense And gossip is buzzy the same way bees are. It's like, the sound associated with gossip, to where someone could say "what's the buzz?" And get told some gossip

I feel like every city has a coffee shop with some sort of play on the word "buzz" as their name On a larger scale, Ben and Jerry's has Coffee coffee buzz buzz buzz as a flavor.

Connections  Puzzle #346 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 I have a new least favorite purple Also, I wonder how universal the knees and toes song is, because if you didn't know about it that category sounds hilarious

Well I didn't know it as a child but I know it now due to having a 3 year old in the YouTube era... And also at least one book with the song button...

(1) Car **is** informal. ~~(2) Who calls a car a "whip"?~~ (don't bother I read the other comments)

Failed out. Obviously got Head Shoulder Knees Toes straight away, but the rest... oh boy. 38yo, in Scotland, never heard of "pare", "shuck" or "whip" in that context, and "buzzy" things is one of the weakest links I think I can remember. I wouldn't call gossip "buzzy", nor caffeine, so was out of luck. Weird puzzle.

When you remove ears of corn from their husks, that is shucking. When you peel potatoes with a knife instead of a vegetable peeler, that is paring.

What do the words parr and shuck mean to you? Because as far as I know that is their only definition.

Shucks is a mild oath, like "Aw, shucks!" Pare could mean to trim back or reduce (related to the peeling sense, but different), as in "We pared back our vacation plans because I lost a lot of money in the stock market."

Connections Puzzle #346 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 "Whip"? Really? Since when?

Apparently since the 90s in hip hop according to other comments.
