Thought I posted this overnight, but maybe I didn’t hit Submit.

Connections
Puzzle #544





I didn’t get Sports Connections, but I don’t remember my exact pattern of wrongness. I know I got purple, but the overlaps in the other 3 categories messed me up...

Spoiler!

I thought MARLIN referred to Sterling Marlin, ROYAL referred to Darrell Royal, and STRONG referred to Charlie Strong. I was way off.

Two possible associations for chum - I guessed the wrong one.
BTW, today's Connections was rated 5/5 for difficulty (”exceptionally tricky”), with only a 36% solve rate! Only 9% solved error free.

Pretty rough start, so I'm happy to save the bogey.

Bad guess on the third one, which is truly horrific.

Connections

Got too fixated.

Connections: Sports Edition

Not perfect, but better.

Strands #279

Strands to the rescue.

Where do you see the difficulty and solve rates? I use the NYT app and have never seen (and can't find) them...

That is curious because it was one of the easier Connections for me. Yellow, green and blue popped up immediately, and purple was clear once only 4 words were left. But I think that’s because I don’t typically think outside the box… the puzzles where you have to look at the first syllable (as an example) are trickier for me.

I thought #4 was the solution.

Straightforward for a change.
