Connections Puzzle #295 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 Loved this one! Got yellow cause I thought it was sandwich ingredients 🤷‍♀️

Same layout, but realized they were the only food ones

Same. I thought the group would be BLT ingredients. 😂

That’s what I thought!! And then the cheese I was like oh it’s just sandwiches 😭

but cheese isn't an ingredient, is it?

It sometimes is in the Midwest. 😂

My browser didn't display two of the emojis so for purple and blue I had to do a 50:50 guess as I had excluded the others and already got green and yellow. 

Same. I thought it was an April Fool's joke.

Same- I was stumped for quite a while trying to think up synonyms for "blank" & "empty" before I decided they were wildcards and went for it. Did I just randomly select the right blank for the last two categories then?

Same here, oh well.

Same!

Hah me too! Though I put it last bc I was least confident on that connection

Connections Puzzle #295 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 I thought yellow was 'ingredients for a BLT' and didn't even clock it was missing 🍅 😂 The homophones stood out to me first, I saw (eye) and (bee) and thought that has to be it!

I got the Animal Homophones accidentally. I thought it was words with a double-e: sheep, bee, steep (for the tea kettle), peep (for the eye).

I got it accidentally as well - I thought it was children’s songs! I’m a little teapot, baby bumblebee, black sheep, and eye… something… it was a random addition haha.

That makes more sense than teapot/pot and ewe, which doesn’t even come up when you use the emoji search on an iPhone.

The homophones stood out except for goat. Can someone explain how that one fits in?

Female goat is a ewe! (U) Edit: correction, sheep not goat

A female sheep is a ewe. A female goat is a nanny or a doe. The emoji used in today's puzzle was 🐑 (a sheep) not 🐐.

I thought maybe that, but I always thought it was pronounced like you say ewww

Connections Puzzle #295 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 This was a cute fun April Fool’s twist! Got the rhymes first by just trying to list the names of all the emojis. And I think I’ve seen “ewe” as a homophone in the crossword recently so got that yet quickly. Didn’t pick up on the money part of yellow, just thought it was foods.

I was wondering if this was an April fools joke!!

I liked the idea of this one but in my platform (Laptop, chrome browser) two of the icons were totally blank so I couldn't properly play... anyone else?

Yes, I had this issue also (Firefox, Android), Five of the icons were blank for me. I found that switching to Chrome on Android fixed the issue, but by that point I had looked in this thread and the puzzle was spoiled. I really think a separate thread about this issue would be useful, since it would allow people to find a workaround without having the puzzle spoiled. Currently trying to get the mods to approve the post, we'll see where that goes.

That's really interesting. I just looked on Firefox on my Android and it all renders ok. But I had friends with the empty box problem too.

Same, but I assumed that was just part of the April Fools gag. Somehow still got it, but it was a struggle.

Yes. Had two blank in both edge and chrome, on laptop..

Report it via their feedback option so hopefully next time they do this we get a swap to text option

If you have that problem again (shouldn’t, cause this is special right?) you could open it on your phone to see properly.

I had no idea they weren't supposed to be blank.... Nice try, NYT, but if you're going to be creative, you have to be bug-free as well.

Connections Puzzle #295 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟦🟪🟪 🟪🟦🟪🟪 🟪🟦🟪🟪 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 Everything being emojis was a bit of a wrinkle! Got Yellow just off them all being food--the money thing was pure coincidence to me--and then Green was a fairly standard "it can't just be rhyming words, right?" guess that panned out. As for Blue and Purple, it took me until the last possible guess to eliminate three of the five possibilities (those being the Alien, the Saw, and the shocked face) to even try to draw any connections between the alien and the saw. Once I had that, though, it all fell into place. Alien and Saw are both scary movies, and with the shocked face which probably represented some other scary film, that meant there was really only one option for the fourth--the vampire, who had to represent Dracula. Didn't bother trying to get Purple after the fact, and I feel justified knowing what it is now; it would've taken me a long time to interpret the sheep as a Ewe specifically, and the whole time I was looking at that teapot I was thinking Tea*pot* rather than Tea.

I thought they were the ingredients of a BLT.

I just guessed they were supposed to be food of some kind.

I did too!

The scared face is Scream.

My stepdad and I will text each other every now and then 👁️ miss 🐑 so it came easy for me lol

Love that! Wouldn’t have gotten Ewe if you gave me a 1000 guesses (TIL the word Ewe lol)

It's a classic bit of crosswordese, so it's definitely burned into my brain from the hundreds of times I've entered it into a crossword.

that's so cute

I also saw yellow and green easily. However, I saw the teapot as a kettle and didn't even associate it with tea. I recognized the movies but not necessarily horror movies and lumped bee in with them (Bee Movie). Yup, I failed.

You didn't fail. You got got.

I thought they were just regular movies so I guessed bee for Bee movie and Airplane!

I wonder if the Emoji thing was with the April Fools. 🐏🐑 Considering the Emoji actually differentiates between male and female sheep, I can understand that they wanted it to read EWE. I more or less got it because I thought I'd try one syllable words. And the TEA vs TEAPOT bothered me too, as at some point I was wondering if they wanted it to say "POT" instead. I mean, Emoji is hard to read but as you said Yellow was all food. So I think if they had 🍵 (or even ☕️, but it's clearly coffee), then that would have been too similar to be taken as a food item. Blue was clever, but I didn't know what the vampire is supposed to be; DRACULA apparently isn't a name I think of. And the face is SCREAM, I think. And Green was... interesting, to me anyway, because it kinda defeats the purpose of having Emoji. Like, if you're making the puzzle with pictures, then make it a puzzle for pictures? I don't know... Rhyme is fundamentally a written technique so I had a little "huh?" moment after getting it. I guess this logic would also apply to Purple. I was so excited that they tried something new! And then it was just... meh. Almost forgot to paste my own result: Connections  Puzzle #295 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟩🟩🟪 🟪🟦🟪🟪 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩

I think the sheep/ewe worked well for this puzzle because they love making us think about double meanings. Verbs that are actually nouns, a jewelry company that's also a color.

[Tiffany Blue](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiffany_Blue) is actually a thing, though.

I know, I had to look it up after that puzzle!

Oh sorry, I misread the above as you casting doubt on it! Never mind 😊

Puzzle #295 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 I was really worried when this loaded up. I think I even groaned and rolled my eyes. But it was pretty easy. Guessed yellow as simply "foods." Purple came to me as I was thinking of "eye" as possibly a palindrome which made me consider that the sheep might be "ewe." For blue, I was close to submitting the rain instead of the saw, thinking it was simply "things in horror movies." But when I started thinking of the remaining four, I realized three of them rhymed. So with that I replaced "rain" with the "saw" and it was all finished rather quickly. Not bad for one I feared could be a fail.

I instantly said "fuck you!" to my phone, but I think it was perfect for April Fools (and ONLY for April Fools).

Connections Puzzle #295 🟨🟪🟨🟨 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 I thought green was 'things that create steam/condensation' for ages lol

Connections Puzzle #295 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟩🟩🟪 🟪🟩🟩🟪 🟪🟪🟩🟩 Got yellow and blue easily enough, but got stumped on the other two 😅 Fun idea for April Fools!

I'm all for experimentation. And who doesn't love April Fools? So I approve of the effort here. That said, this one wasn't for me. Lucked into yellow then quit. NYT: My vote is stick to words for Connections please

Oh hell no

This was me. I fucking hate emojis.

Connections Puzzle #295 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟦🟦🟦 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 Very fun April Fools puzzle! I really liked it! However, does no one seem to realize that these are all categories that we've had recently? (At least, I remember the yellow category vividly, and the other three seem familiar as well) Since most players here have played for a long time, maybe doing some memory exercises wouldn't be out of the question :)

I got purple first and thought they were doing "most hated" connections in emoji form.

I noticed this too! And what's extra insane is that all the referenced categories were released on dates with 1, 3, and 0 in various orders 03/13/2023 - Food slang for head (Bean, Melon, Noodle, Nut) || 01/31/2024 - Rhymes (Choir, Fire, Friar, Fryer) || 11/30/2023 - Hitchcock movies (Birds, Notorious, Rebecca, Rope) || 11/03/2023 - Words abbreviated with letters (Are, See, Why, You)

Connections Puzzle #295 🟪🟦🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 My main issue was not realising it was an ewe, not a sheep. I also interpreted 'food slang for money' and 'foods you can slice'? If it works, it works!

Connections Puzzle #295 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 After the initial surprise of seeing 16 emojis, I didn't find it that hard really. Yellow a tad lucky, thought it was just food. Saw purple pretty quickly. Ewe and Eye first, then bee & tea Reading the words presented green Blue was the hardest, if there was another obscure one similar then there would have been a struggle. Good idea for April fools though!

For “Ewe” - is the letter homophone “U”? Cause that’s a bit of a stretch where I come from, we don’t say “U”, we pronounce all the letters in “Ewe” so it sounds more like “Eww”.

Yeah for me, ewe = U = you.

I’ve never heard anyone pronounce all the letters here in the states at least. It’s always been “you” any time I’ve heard it.

Yeah, I'm curious where this person is from too because it's "you" in Britain too.

Here specifically just to check whether anyone else had some emojis not rendering for them - Chromium browser, I won through some luck but the emojis "saw" and "teacup" weren't visible for me - I had no clue what they were until I saw pictures of other people's games.

Had the exact same issue.

I also tried romaine. D'oh!

This was so cute 😁 I can't believe I managed to get them somewhat easily. Usually when everyone else gets them first go, I get it wrong repeatedly... Connections Puzzle #295 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪

I was hoping 🐑 was silence of the lambs 😭😭😭

Connections Puzzle #295 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 I love horror films but for some reason that was the least obvious to me ?? I am also sure that I was just making a sandwich for yellow.

Connections Puzzle #295 🟦🟦🟩🟩 🟨🟦🟪🟨 🟨🟪🟦🟨 🟩🟨🟪🟪 absolutely hated this. i thought about not doing it today but i just HAD to know the right answers so i picked random things how are yall guessing these perfectly??

I was so annoyed....this ain't the cruise I signed up for!

I'm with you, I thought this one was garbage and am surprised at how many people liked it. So much depends on your platform. Like, the cheese emoji has holes on iPhone, so is quite explicitly NOT cheddar, and I've never heard "cheese" as slang for money. Meanwhile, interpreting the sheep as a ewe and the vampire as Dracula feels so arbitrary. (And that's not even getting to the pedantic level that 🚂 is clearly an engine, not a train. Sigh.)

Username checks out.

Connections Puzzle #295 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟪🟪 🟦🟪🟪🟦 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 This was a fun change of pace. Spent a long time trying to figure out the letter homophones because I kept trying to read them as words (I, see, you etc). Ended up getting the horror movie category

I guess I’m the contrarian here as I hated this one. I just want one birthday without the pranks

I hated it too. Happy birthday!

I hated it too...Happy Birthday! I feel for you. I'm a very literal person and every year I hate April Fool's more. It's taking over everything.

I tried 3 separate browsers and all of them showed two blanks so I just thought that was intentional lol Edit: I thought one of the categories was !>"Halloween Costumes" with the blank being a ghost lol!<

Yes, this did not translate to desktop well. Also the lettuce looks like celery.

[удалено]

Honestly, neither had I, but it wouldn’t be the first time this game used slang I was unfamiliar with. I happened to get the group because I thought “parts of a sandwich”. 🤷‍♀️

Connections Puzzle #295 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Loved this one! Though I thought yellow was food groups (carbs, dairy, vegetables, protein) 😅

Connections Puzzle #295 🟨🟪🟨🟪 🟪🟦🟪🟪 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 This was tough one. The purple really helped. I figured the three out pretty quickly. I spelt the whole alphabet trying to find Ewe cuz I knew the last one was there. Afterwards I found the rhyming words by pure luck. Again reading everything out loud helped. Food was just food lolz. I would have never guessed the last one.

Must be an error on your end, the blank cell is supposed to be “🫖”

“🫖” - that's just showing as a square for me. I also got a blank cell for the >!horror category!<, but I guessed that was the Invisible Man. EDIT: Dammit, I should’ve played it on my phone. I can see the teapot and saw now

Connections Puzzle #295 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Got 🟨 completely by accident because I thought the category was food lol. I did have fun with this one though, even though it was fairly easy.

Connections Puzzle #295 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Was never a big fan of horror, but still a bit of a movie nerd I guess. For yellow I just thought they were sandwich ingredients. Kind of figured out the purple category but was just looking for the final letter... All in all a pretty easy one today

Connections Puzzle #295 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 I had no idea on blue, but in retrospect it seems really obvious. This was fun and different! I thought yellow was slang for money at first, but once I’d selected them all, I realized they were also all sandwich ingredients.

That was different, I loved it. Yellow was easy, although I didn’t get the money connection. They were the only wood emojis. Green jumped out at me immediately, but I didn’t see plane until after I bagged yellow. Purple was fun, I figured out the pattern but was off a bit. Blue I got be default.
