Drumroll, please... 🟨 Sharp protrusion: Barb, bristle, needle, spine 🟩 Features of stringed instruments: Bridge, neck, peg, string 🟦 Litigation verbs: Charge, move, serve, sue 🟪 In "Star Light, Star Bright": May, might, tonight, wish I never believe the Connections puzzles when the answer is a string of words making a sentence. Still, I saw tonight and wish and immediately thought, "I wish I may, I wish I might." So, I added may and might and turned it in on a lark. A correct one that nabbed me the purple group. Up next, I snagged the green category with bridge, neck, peg and string. My thought was guitar, but stringed instruments in general works. Despite watching Suits LA in support of a friend who works on the show, I was not connecting the litigation verbs of charge, move, serve and sue. Instead, I got the yellow spiky group with barb, bristle, needle and spin. And then we wrapped it up with the blue quartet. Yesterday's Connections answers 🟨 Impose, as a penalty: Assess, charge, fine, levy 🟩 Checkout line impulse buys: Candy, chapstick, charging cable, magazine 🟦 Movies of various lengths: Epic, feature, film series, short 🟪 ____ Road: Dirt, high, rocky, silk Reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #642, which had a difficulty rating of 3.3 out of 5, according to the Connections Companion. I keep starting with the blues recently, and today I did not buck the trend. Film series as a rare two word clue leapt out to me. Because I was next to magazine I was thinking of issues to start but that goes nowhere with this board. Feature and short stuck out next as types of films. Epic made the most sense from there. Film series is the sore thumb here as it's not a movie of a various length and is instead a series of movies. C'est la vie. I snagged the yellow group next with assess, charge, fine and levy. Though I was initially looking for a stock market connection not fines. I put together candy, chapstick and magazine as checkout purchases. Charging cable stuck out here but only because I don't think I've ever just bought a cable hanging out nearing a check stand. Which left the roads last. I don't know, I never saw this one as I went about the puzzle. That said, I also just kind of flow from one group to the next as they come to me, which is perhaps not the logical way to attack these puzzles but it works for me. Anyway the final four were: dirt road, high road, rocky road and silk road.
