Today’s Connections answers
So, what are today’s Connections answers for game #587?
Drumroll, like…
Today, I had some Connections blinders on.
I saw Thorn, Spur and Tide and was immediately thinking sports team.
I could not find that fourth team though but it stuck in my craw the whole way through.
Where I did start was with album, artist, label and track as things on a record.
Even with the popularity of vinyl I can see why this was a blue category.
So, drive, impulse, itch and urge.
I briefly considered spur but it wasn’t quite right.
Drive isn’t either but it fits better.
What got me around it was putting corner, page and tables together because I was thinking books.
I took a strike throwing spine in.
The one away clue got me to finally wake up and look at the board.
Finally saw sticker, thorn and spur.
I assumed the sticking words were supposed to be the easier of the two groupings.
Then we wrapped it up with barbs; spine, spur, sticker and thorn.
Yesterday’s Connections answers
Reading this in a later time zone?
Surprisingly the difficulty today comes in the form of traps rather than difficult connections.
I found that out when I fell for the hit songs trap of bop, hit and banger.
Nothing else fit with that list though.
I was able to recalibrate with knock and tap for the green group.
Quickly locked down web browsers withChrome, Edge, Opera andSafari.
From there I took a quick strike when I comboed banger, brat, sausage and pepperoni.
I was not seeing the beer brands for the purple group.
But there they are in autoharp, contrabass, pepperoni, and rosebud.
