Connections can sometimes be a headache, but today it was honestly the best daily game I've ever played. One group in particular, PURPLE, had me stumped for ages! But once I figured it out, I couldn't believe I'd been so blind. Combinations like BRED (read: bread), CACHE (cash), DOE (dough), and LUTE (loot) are seriously tough to catch.
