My Rating and Score
My rating: Hard
My score: 3 mistakes
I found today’s Connections utterly baffling and only completed it by chance – and even then it took me a while to fully understand what the Purple group was all about. I think seeing A LIFE, A NOVEL, A FEW, A DEAL and A ROSE in the starting grid discombobulated my brain and I struggled to recover and think logically.
Having said that, I did get VOCAL MUSIC pretty quickly, but the rest was random guesswork – despite the fact that I was singing along to No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) by Barbara Streisand and Donna Summer on New Year’s Eve. A roller disco classic if ever there was one.
