  • Skipped yesterdays connections. Looked at the answers and boy would I have failed.

    🟨

    Bent??

    🟩

    I do somewhat pronounce the w in all of those, but I’m not a native speaker 🤷‍♂️

    🟦

    No excuses. None of those names mean anything to me, just not something I’d know.

    🟪

    Hit the roof? Never heard of this one.

    Saw the theme right away, it’s a fun one.
    Unfortunately I’m just not very familiar with several expressions and some of the words fit in multiple categories.

    Purple was the most apparent to me, like I saw yellow first, but missed a word. Then tried the other group I saw, which was purple. Green kind of popped out after guessing purple. And blue and yellow were complete guesses, I knew what the groups were supposed to be, but didn’t know all of the expressions.

    🟨🟦

    Nations didn’t fit anywhere.
    Rail and rock are completely foreign (pun intended).

    Pretty easy today, saw blue right away, then yellow, then green. Thought purple is something way easier than it ended up being.

    🟪

    I thought it would be something that calls for attention 😅

    Like you can groan to call for attention.
    You can say “Voila!” as a call for attention.
    A bulge can require attention.
    Abut has a meaning of touch in some sense, which felt right as for this leftover group.

    I had nothing. Almost nothing, I thought of purple, but didn’t feel too strong for that connection. I kind of had yellow, but not exactly.

    🟨🟩🟦🟪
    • 🟨 – mum??!
      Originally I thought about phrases that mean keeping secrets: keep quiet, keep a secret, keep it private, keep it in. Tried keep out as well, thinking of prases that involve the word keep.
    • 🟩 – fuck right off, never would have guessed that;
      For this I caught the red herring, mother, mum, ma and mary (you know, christianity).
    • 🟦 – same as above, way too american;
      For this I tried phrases involving play: fair play, foul play, ball play, bed play (don’t know, just a guess, felt good enough).
    • 🟪 – queen mary?
      My guess it’s a religious term, don’t really encounter this particular one much so it didn’t ring any bells. Managed to connect the other 3.
