That's a heck of a way to start. The only way to do better would be to ace the first guess! Nice work

Had to use a burner word - chank. Didn’t know that was even a word - was just trying to use five unused letters and it didn’t turn red.
Edit: Saw the 50/50 with deify and edify, so left it to the end. Thankfully, expel eliminated deify.

I though it was Kelsey Grammer shows, but beyond the 2 obvious ones, didn’t know if he was in felicity, euphoria or glee.

I thought the TV show connection was a red herring. I thought they were looking for happy words. Turns out it was both. Didn't know there was a TV show called Euphoria.

I would have aced the Connections puzzle today had I known what a paper crane was (I was quick to string Frasier, Whooping, and Construction together), so I took a detour.

Surprised to see so many four guess connections today. Maybe I was rushing, but I thought today's was the most difficult in a while.

Knowing the record companies is key. In case you are interested in how I got there - I reviewed all the words and the word "clef" really only has one meaning. So I started looking for other words related to sheet music - note, rest and staff were really the only words that fit. Scales was a possibility, but the other words were actually items on sheet music, while a scale is more like a melody or composition. Once that category was solved, I next saw the zodiac signs. But there were five. Whenever there are five of a category, you have to start looking to see if one of them crosses over to another category. I saw capitol and columbia and the record company thing clicked along with virgin and island. Once that was solved, there were only 4 zodiac signs left. I had no idea what the connection was on the last four (three letter words maybe?) until the category was revealed.
That was my burner word too! I corrected it above.burn stoic

I agree. I think I got lucky with four. It took me a good ten minutes to make even the first connection (Zodiac symbols). I knew the crab, bull and scales were, but needed to research to figure out that twins was one as well. The music one took a bit too, but once I had that down, the record labels were easy to spot. I didn't know the last connection until solving.

Interesting. You left wedge for last, but that was my first word, even before the burner.

Yup, once I was able to lump Virgin with the record companies, the other categories resolved themselves.Surprised to see so many four guess connections today. Maybe I was rushing, but I thought today's was the most difficult in a while.

Yeah, I couldn't see a word there. Seems obvious now though. But in-game, I always had other words come more easily, so I kept moving along without it. My fatal flaw was not seeing Lover. I was confident when entering lower. And of course, solving Wedge would have fixed that problem.

Hope you all don't mind, I added a second sheet which is cleverly named Sheet2 in an attempt to make things a little more compact. I think I transcribed the scores correctly, but please verify. Also, it looks better in light mode vs dark mode imo.
Well darnit. The columns were summed at the bottom when I typed this up in Excel, but the SUM function got dropped when I pasted it into the Google Sheet. I'll add it back.

Regarding the scoring - are we just going to keep a indefinite running tally, or reset weekly/monthly/whatever ... or both? My thought to reset weekly (Mon-Fri), then have a separate list showing weekly winners and associated scores. I mean, it will just say bigbottom every week, but I'm ok with that.

Footballguy
I say we end it today!
I inevitably miss a day here and there and suspect others may as well. So maybe one week a month rather than every week?
FatMax

What do you mean by "one week a month"?
I agree about missing days. I'm pretty good during the week, but have missed occasionally. One way to account for that would be to make a higher score a winner rather than a lower score. Basically make six points a perfect score on all games, and deduct from there. I don't know ... just kinda thinking and typing and am open to nearly anything ....

I mean we keep scores and have a competition one week each month. Instead of every week. I would think the likelihood of the six or so participants we have being able to commit to one week in a month is higher than doing it every week.

That would be fine with me as well. I do like keeping track this way, competition or not.
