      How do you always know which category is the purple? You seem to always solve that one first. I’ve only been playing this for a few days but I haven’t found it to be consistently the most difficult

        I figure out what I think is the solution in Connections Copilot (which lets you rearrange the words on cards without providing any advice) first. Much of the time, the one I figure out last is the hardest. One sure-fire way to know a particular category is the purple one is if it’s a “Something _______” type one. In today’s case it was literally “what’s left over after I’ve solved the others” (and the fact that either

        turtle or club could be kinds of crackers, but I was reasonably confident about the other three being crackers—which in retrospect was mostly just luck

        ).

          I see! But that was blue today, the types of category (and also one I had no idea about). Anyway, thanks for liking the copilot and sharing!
