I've done that before, too. Although overall I"m good at not seeing the connections answers if I do google - I was disapointed I ruined it for myself.BTW, I accidentally found out they “give away” the answer if you do the wrong googling. This was the first time this has happened to me. I stared and stared at the remaining words after solving green and yellow. Finally did a wild guess and got three out of four (!) purple, meaning the remaining words also had a three out of four correct blue words left. Stared some more, then tried to Google the relationship of my purple incomplete guess. Suddenly found myself staring at the connections answers for both purple and blue. As connections go, neither of those was particularly hard or weird, I just wasn’t getting them. Certainly didn’t mean to ruin the puzzle for myself.
ETA: I decided the problem was googling more than one word. In the past I’ve googled one word, to see if it fit a category (semi recently did a word I thought could be a type of shoe when I saw other “shoe words”).
