Doug Plays NYT Connections 11/24 (New York Times Puzzle Game)

[@photobirder75]

I'd give you three points. The game is "connections", not "what am I thinking". You made logically connections in the first three, so you deserve the points. Never heard of any of those musical categories.

[@harithavajhula8848]

You just got tricked by a red herring with The Addams Family characters!

[@aaoization]

You totally get at least half a point equating "forward motion" with careen, and I also think you scored full point for music category! (I got pitch, reel, lurch, and heave first thing, but thought the category was "things you might do when intoxicated.")

[@msd10]

I got stuck with the Addams Family characters for a while too. Kept going back to it trying to find the 4th one and finally figured out it was a red herring!

[@londonchocoroll9850]

Got all 4 connections with no errors but I struggled to name the yellow category. Saw the purple quickly and got that one first.

[@brandanbaker5604]

My hand is raised.

[@matsetizar65]

Connections getting stupid hard and I love it.

[@ADailySliceOfOranje]

Amen!

[@tekguru8]

I had NO idea for any of these categories except for Green.. and when I saw the answers I knew I would have never gotten any of them.

[@laineygann7713]

Never got Ash. Never would have gotten that one!

[@archtansterpg4246]

This was a hard one, even for me! Got it with no mistakes but took a while. Not sure I've heard of "ambient" or "jungle" as EDM genres. I always thought ambient music was supposed to be the calming type of music you hear like in a lobby or a library.

[@laineygann7713]

I kept thinking of ambient lighting. This was a rough connections.

[@sk3ll121]

Jungle is like proto dnb from the 90s UK scene, came from like break beat and other genres mixing with dub music. example of this is U.K. Apachi & Shy FX - Original Nuttah ambient here likely refers to what you descibed; that or ambient sub genres of edm such as ambient dnb or ambient house. example of ambient dnb is Lazune - Across The Sea Feat. Minnie Malloi and ambient house is A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules from the Centre of the Ultraworld by the orb

[@Tiqerboy]

I found this one easy, but then again, I listen to EDM a lot, so that one I got right away, but ..... I entered Purple in first because I saw that too. My order was Purple, Light Blue, Yellow and Green for a perfect solve. I really expected the green category to be yellow because I thought we all learned that from primary school (definition of a noun, gramatically). I give you half a point for light blue, and for yellow a half point again, because moving forward sort of means those things in general terms. I described them as "sway back and forth / list, especially on the water". I think I'm close enough with that.

[@auldfouter8661]

Careen is not a word used in the UK - we'd say the car careered out of control.

[@joychampagnie2632]

Huh???

[@joychampagnie2632]

Please check that again. I was educated under the British system and CAREEN is indeed correct.

[@GuanoLad]

I got all four connections without any errors, but the categories, if I go by Doug's strict rules, I have to admit I did not get correct at all.

[@daphfried10]

One error; got yellow and green categories. Blue and Purple I did not know. I had a vague idea of sound or music but nothing firm at all.

[@robertblake4743]

I only got yellow and green today, totally failed on the other two categories. But I did get 2 full points, so somehow I still beat Doug 😂

[@dougr4069]

Reel a forward motion?

[@KenTrosper]

Not a forward motion but a when a boxer hit the other boxer they will say he reeled backwards from the hit. He careened off the other guy's fist.

[@lesapackett8794]

Worst I have ever done

[@王宇平-q4t]

🟣🟡🔵🟢 No mistake once again today. Even lots of thing were unknown for me, I would learn them every day.

[@nonsuchned94]

Also went with Addams Family first (person as well). Then in order, but didn't bother pondering purple. 3 points then. 🟨🟩🟪🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪
