Drumroll, please... 🟨 Signify: Convey, express, mean, spell 🟩 Web browser buttons: Back, extensions, forward, refresh 🟦 Parts of a road: Divider, lane, median, shoulder 🟪 À/a la ____: Carte, king, mode, plancha Thought I had a nice down the line going today but messed up with that dang yellow. Ah well. I saw carte and my inclination was a la carte. A la mode stuck out next, which made me want some ice cream. I forgot about a la plancha for a moment, which means grilled on a metal plate. I got the blue category next as I was looking for more of a math connection with mean and median. It wasn't working but I saw divider and figured for roads. Lane and shoulder leapt out next. I was looking for green next but but in convey, express, mean and spell first. I guessed wrong, it was the yellow group. So we ended with back, extensions, forward and refresh as web browser buttons. Yesterday's Connections answers 🟨 Exceptional: Remarkable, singular, special, unique 🟩 German words: Angst, die, kinder, wurst 🟦 Plural animals identical to their singular forms: Deer, sheep, shrimp, squid 🟪 Plural words that are very different from their singular forms: Dice, lice, mice, oxen Reading this in a later time zone? Here are the Connections answers for game #646, which had a difficulty rating of 3 out of 5, according to the Connections Companion. I found this puzzle very interesting with what it was doing with the categories. Especially once you kick out the green group, which is where I started. I lived in Germany as a kid so I think of the German "kin-der" before I think of the English "kind-er" when I see that word. So I was thinking German, wurst and die were obvious to me from there. It did take a moment to find angst because I forgot that it's originally German. The yellow group stuck out from the animals, so knocked that out with remarkable, singular, special and unique. I knew what the blue and purple categories were doing but I took a moment because I was trying to guess which was blue and which purple. I guessed wrong. I grabbed, deer, sheep, shrimp and squid which was blue but the meaning is that the plural and single versions of the words are the same ala moose or fish. Which left purple with words that are vastly different from their singular forms, meaning they don't just add an 'S.' We had dice, lice, mice, and oxen.
