Today’s Connections answers

So, what are today’s Connections answers for game #541?

Drumroll, yo…

Today was harder, and for me, mostly because of the yellow category.

I got stuck here.

Just one of those cultural touchstones that, at this point, I’ve just not bothered to watch.

What saved me was a couple of context clues.

I knew that Edie Falco was in the show and assumed that the puzzle was looking for character names.

On the other side, I knew Tony would be paired with Junior and Carmela.

Why I know those other names is, I assume, pop culture osmosis.

That left, Meadow, Cece, and Katie.

Here is where I guessed.

I assumed Katie was not a Sopranos name.

At this point, I was not seeing the names that sound like letters.

Using this process, I took a strike guessing Cece with the Sopranos grouping.

Strike one, but that left Meadow and we were able to lock it down.

BetweenMLBmascots yesterday and the purple category today, the Connections Crew is in a baseball mindset deep into November.

Anyway, I saw knuckle and thought pitch.

This quickly led to fastball, curveball and screwball.

Nothing else seemed to fit for the blue category save rock.

Somehow, ended on yellow with dance styles; jazz, modern, swing and tap.

It’s always interesting what categories different minds see first.

UnlikeWordle, I’m not sure if connections has those kind of overall stats.
