Let's Play Connections

[Sandi Bo]

Yes, a perfect start. But I had to walk away (well go back to bed) and come back to it.
Happy Monday - ya'll.
I look just like @Rolltydr today. Here's the solution:

Spoiler

Arithmetic Operations and Winged Insects easy peasy. Finally saw the CAT thing. Still don't know the FISH one - never would have gotten that one.

 

[clifffaith]

Perfect today. I knew only three of the four fishies so had to let that fall into place by finishing the other categories first.

 

[slip]

A quick perfect today.

 

[Sandi Bo]

Perfect! But I still don't understand the purple one, lol.

Spoiler: solution

OK, so I get Oklahoma! And I guess the other 3, too. But never would have figured that out on my own.

 

[clifffaith]

Perfect score. But the last category came by default, even though I’ve seen 3/4 of the movies. I watched Them! dozens of times as a kid.

 

[Rolltydr]

Also Perfect and had no clue what the purple 4 were.

 

[slip]

One miss, I didn't know the purple one either until the end.

 

[Sandi Bo]

Perfect AGAIN, lol.

Spoiler: solution

Yellow - that those vegetables are also fruits was irrelevant to me. I wasn't that smart (they are vegetables).
Purple - never would have figured that out. If I put some thought into it, I think I can come up with better ones. Only good one is POLISH, maybe MOBILE. TOMATO is a good one, but fit so well in yellow that it didn't do much (if anything) to fool me (or help me) today.

 

[Rolltydr]

I’m merely great today with one miss. Again, I wasn’t smart enough to know the connection on the purple but got it by default.

 

[clifffaith]

Perfect, but clueless as to how the purple words leftover at the end connected to each other.

 

[slip]

Perfect also and I would have never guessed the purple one either.

 

[clifffaith]

One misstep. Should have figured out the purple connection, but got it only by default.

 

[slip]

A quick perfect early this morning.

 

[billymach4]

Nailed it today

 

[Rolltydr]

Perfect. The green and yellow were fairly easy. I guessed at the blue and got lucky. The purple was completely by default. I didn’t have a clue.

 

[Sandi Bo]

Bringing up the rear here with my phew. Look at all you perfect people!

Spoiler: solution

Rubber Soul? I had Rubber but couldn't figure that one out... thus guessed the other ones... then went for the spies 'Get Smart' and 'James Bond' helped me on that.

 

[dsmrp]

The groupings weren't as obvious to me today. I had to look at the easier ones a little longer. Actually got the category for the purple hardest one early, but couldn't get that 4th item.

 

[Sandi Bo]

Yay - Perfect today. Happy Friday!

Spoiler: solution

I could see the categories other than purple quickly. Once I decided to put nicknames together (nor relevant they are verbs, right?) the rest fell into place.

 

[slip]

A fast perfect early this morning. I didn't know the purple again but I got it by default again.

 

[Rolltydr]

A perfect Friday! Kind of interesting that the three of us, so far, were all perfect but got their by different routes.

 

[clifffaith]

Perfect! The purple words were my “defaults” and I am pleased that I got what their connection was — so often I don’t have a clue!

Puzzle #33






First time playing, like it! (And TUG was a word!)

ETA: DOH! How do I copy/paste here?

 

[dsmrp]

I wasn't perfect. For last purple category, I knew only half of the category criteria.

I find it easier to just take a screenshot , crop it , then insert it as an image using the picture icon in the posting window.

I missed one today
