Here's a larger hints:Play some cards whilst reading some Shakespeare and calling a taxi without bias. Today's Connections answers So, what are today's Connections answers for game #641? Drumroll, please... 🟨 Partiality: Angle, bias, slant, spin 🟩 Signal down, as a taxi: Flag, hail, wave, whistle 🟦 Cards in Texas Hold 'Em: Flop, hole, river, turn 🟪 Shakespearean words: Anon, art, thou, wilt Every time I swing through a poker category in any place in my life I am amazed I know any of the words associated with a card game I dislike playing. Anyway, river and flop are obvious poker terms to me. Turn works next. Hole is the one I had to dig around to find. I forgot that hole cards refer to the two cards that individual players get dealt. I grabbed the green quartet next seeing flag and hail where I thought, "Taxi." Wave and whistle came quickly after. For linguistics fans, the Shakespearean words making up the purple category are a nice reminder of how many words from the bard's plays make up common English today. The four from this puzzle are anon, art, thou and wilt. And we wrapped it up with the yellow group of angle, bias, slant and spin for partiality. Yesterday's Connections answers 🟨 Ingredients in a classic pound cake: Butter, eggs, flour, sugar 🟩 Things that are red: Cardinal, Elmo, ketchup, rose 🟦 Words said to have no exact rhymes: Month, orange, purple, silver 🟪 ____ Candy: Cotton, eye, John, rock Reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #640, which had a difficulty rating of 4 out of 5, according to the Connections Companion. So, no one else saw the colors and immediately went to Legends of the Hidden Temple? Honestly, was a little sad that one didn't work out. After that heartbreak, we went down the line starting with butter, eggs, flour and sugar. I was trying to figure out Elmo specifically and the red things came fairly easily from there so we added cardinal, ketchup and rose after a brief dalliance of looking for wines with orange and rose. I figured out purple before blue because John Candy clicked for me. So I saved Uncle Buck for last and selected blue first; month, orange, purple and silver which don't have rhymes. Then we wrapped it all up with Cotton Candy, Eye Candy and Rock Candy.
