Missed Connections

I am not a lone nerd. I am a nerd from a family of nerds. I am a nerd from an EXTENDED family of nerds. Which is why we have a family Wordle chat thread, where we share our results from various NYT daily puzzles.

Today's Connections:

Like Wordle, your results come in grids of colored blocks, so that you can share them without spoiling. So, in other words, you want 4 rows of identical colors.

Today, the first five people have all started with 🟩🟨🟪🟩. And the sixth person would've too, if they hadn't been forewarned by everyone else's results to guess that the easy guess was wrong. I feel like the result might say something about my family.

#nyt connections #spoilers for 31 may #following in the tags below #i don't know if the false guess was my family's bias or the way the puzzle is set up #but immediately thought 'oh'#'well that's obvious!!!'#'the center four should belong to category 'camera brand''!#nope #my family of photography nerds has failed me #'canon' goes in the 'corpus' category with body oeuvre and works #'polaroid' goes in the 'things that are shaken' category with snowglobe maraca and hands #the other two are mountains along with 'hood' and 'whitney'#i think it was a deliberate fakeout on the part of the puzzlemakers #(and if anyone's curious the fourth category today is 'components of an lp)
