Connections, newest NYT game

Good catch. I actually disagreed with “colonel” being in the silent “I” category - because the first “l” is not silent, it’s just pronounced differently.

How so? Merriam-Webster agrees with the NYT about colonel, but it also does about walk, so it’s obviously not infallible :smiley: . How do you pronounce “colonel?”

“kur-nel”. So the first l is pronounced “r” (therefore, technically not silent).

It’s debatable I guess. I was just sore at having lost :grinning:

Same here, no idea what the purple was and am not all that convinced with the description.

We were on the same wave length. I wouldn’t have gotten the last category, but only words left.

I knew three of four for purple. The fourth I have not necessarily heard of but I think it makes sense.

I never would have connected the blue but when I saw the description, I understood.

This one was hard for me. I had correct themes, just didn’t know all 4.

Failed today. Although when I saw the answers, I thought I had tried the correct answers for the green category. I don’t even know if it would have helped though. :melting_face::weary::face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I only knew one category. After seeing the answers, I never would have guessed the rest.
