Found green & yellow easily but really struggled with blue and only got purple because that was all that was left.

I was barking up the wrong tree for the blues and purples - wasted two lives thinking I was looking for styles of skirt!

I agree with you about the blues, Parsley!

There are things here in my living room that I sometimes use for that purpose when the fancy takes me, and I bet no one would have got the connection from those: coasters, balls of wool, coins, marbles, dice, rolled-up socks ... 😁

The blue connection is a bit of a stretch.

I got fed up and just stabbed at it!

Still don't understand some of the connections

Callistemon21 Tue 05-Mar-24 10:34:42

I can see no connections at all today so far!

Can’t sleep so just tried Tuesday’s Connexxion’s. Really stumped me, could only get one line. I usually do much better than that.

Eloethan Tue 05-Mar-24 00:26:30

The TV Only Connect is almost unfathomable to me. I marvel at the contestants. I think I have only been able to form one connection that was related to music or something like that. It makes me feel really stupid when I watch it.

Callistemon21 Mon 04-Mar-24 22:26:19

Number four in purple made sense, I've heard of it.

Number two in purple is not strictly true. It's something that develops later on iyswim.

BlueBelle Mon 04-Mar-24 22:17:48

The last one in purple didn’t make any sense to me …but that might be my ignorance

And, for the record, one of the purple answers is an incorrect definition.

Be warned!

Which one? I thought they all fitted
