When only purple was left.....I knew the 'connection'.

That being said, I have only been playing for a few months. Were some of the connections as dumb many months ago as they seem to be getting now??
Oh... if you saw that connection for purple with only those 4 left - kudos to you!!!

Ok, I'll say it: The purple was stupid. That isn't a connection, because there is no way you'd ever consider those words related to each other until you saw what they wanted. Very contrived. Dumb.

Having said that... :D

Not quite perfect but I did get purple first again. After a subpar wordle today, this makes me feel pretty good

Yellow and green came quickly. Struggled with blue but then purple jumped out at the end. Skull really threw me. Blue by default.

Same for me Cliff. I struggled with everything. After forever , I finally got the green and yellow. I continued to ponder the other two groups and finally threw in the towel and made a few guesses with no success. They cannot be serious with the blue grouping! Total nonsense. After seeing the purple it makes sense but I just couldn’t see it today.
Combine this result with my wordle score of six to make the day a total disaster.

I wonder how many artists even knew skull.

Blue most definitely by defaault (skull? - although I'm not sure it would have mattered what the 4 items were).

I only got green and ha to step away. Knowing my siblings were bombing I decided I would just go for it and get it overwith. But... somehow the purple popped out at me before I managed t bomb. Phew is right. (Oh, I don't think I've heard of BASE either).

The first two connections were pretty easy for me. Then I was stuck. I used the "Shuffle" button on the last eight words for the first time, and things clicked in. I may have to try that trick again.

Couldn't get it done today. Decided to put myself out of my misery. The ones that look close (3 of 4) were not for the 'right' reasons. Nice one @DaveNV

Thanks! See my protected comments below.

The purple was easier for me, when I started to consider what a trampoline is, and how it might relate to the other words. I pictured a trampoline, and what you do with it. Once "jumping on it" didn't work to connect to the other words, I thought about how a trampoline is built. It has springs. Oh wait - a mousetrap has a spring. A clock has a spring. And some mattresses have springs. Duh! Easy, breezy. It's always easiest when you know the right answer. :D

The blue threw me, because I didn't know that some of those were games. I've never heard of games called Werewolf or Fishbowl.

A lucky Perfect today with lucky by default. I would have never guessed two of those.

Second day in a row with a next time☹️. I don’t know if the puzzles are getting harder or if I’m losing it.
Green and yellow were fairly easy put then I hit a brick wall. Kept trying to go down the movie title rabbit hole thanks to mousetrap and ware wolf but couldn’t make it work. Never saw the common element for purple until too late but I have to give them props. It was a very clever grouping. Congrats to those who saw it.
Well done Dave!
