- I'm Every Day Doug and I play puzzle games every day!
Connections is an engaging word game from the New York Times. Presented with 16 words, you are challenged to find "connections" among four groups of four words each.
If you've read this far, perhaps I can press my luck and let you know about some of the other places you can find me!

Doug, are you not doing Strands anymore? We miss watching you do that puzzle!
Yeah he posted he stopped doing it. He might look at it after it leaves Beta
If only he took this long to solve Strands, he would still be doing the puzzle. He needed a hint after 30 seconds and didn’t really try to solve it.
Good job! I got all 4 very easily today!
I had a tough time today too, got caught in the swimming trap. (Freestyle, butterfly, crawl, and I threw in side) So "butterfly effect" comes from a phrase that the flapping of a butterfly's wings can cause a typhoon on the other side of the world. Meaning that a minor, insignificant occurrence can result in enormous, possibly catastrophic events.
I hear you. The RED HERRINGS are a PAIN!!!
Got sucked into the Swimming styles, but solved it after that one mistake.
Me too!
"butterfly effect" is a term from chaos theory and it refers to the fact that miniscule changes in initial conditions can often cause dramatic effects in end results. It comes from the notion that the air disturbance from a butterfly flapping its wings on one side of the world could result in a hurricane on the other side. It has been popularly generalized into the idea that a small, seemingly innocuous action can have unexpected, and often unwanted, results (which was the premise of the time-travelling movie, I assume)
My fuzzy recollection about Butterfly Effect stems from a Bradbury or Asimov short story concerning a time traveler who once returned to the current time noticed a world entirely different. Recalling how careful he was while in the past could not discern what he did to disrupt the future. That’s when he lifted his shoe and found a flattened butterfly.
Not so good in Connections today just getting the green category. This is better than getting a GOOSE EGG! 😂
Definitely!
On a positive note with the NYT games, I am getting better adjusted to STRANDS, Andrea. 😀
A four for me today. I mistake with swim strokes.
Same here with side, freestyle, butterfly, crawl.
Galaxy Quest fans chanting "Never give up. Never surrender."
Got 3 points: 💙, (down to final guess), 💛 , 💚.
I scored on blue, yellow and green without much difficulty. I could not describe purple as I have never heard of butterfly effect. Side effects are a different story. I hear the voice of Roseanne Roseannadanna in my head during virtually every pharmaceutical ad as the long list of side effects are presented.
We are most thankful to be free of drug adverts . Only New Zealand and the US seem to allow those abominations. I think our medical professionals are targetted by advertising just not the general public.
@@auldfouter8661 Just to clarify, I am not a fan of drug ads, but I do like the SNL character from decades ago when the show was still funny.
Got the purple first today
On the fly in the UK means doing something a bit nefarious , hiding what you are doing from others. I did fall for the swimming strokes and knew all the effects - just didn't come up with them though !
lol I guess Doug hasn’t been around too many babies!! 😂😂
I had two misses but finally got all four categories. I would give you a half point on the superficial category.
I got it but it was close... PHEW!
Give yourself the full point for Blue. you got a 4 today.
Fun fact (details may be slightly off since I'm only writing off of my memory), the butterfly effect was discovered when some guy ran computer models (I think weather or climate models) way back when. He discovered that the results diverged wildly due to the computer's truncation of floating point numbers (or maybe rather, that only some of the decimals were printed out on paper,), so when he used the truncated numbers as atarting points for new test runs of the model, the results became something totally different. Thus the "butterfly effect" was coined, meaning that a tiny difference in the starting conditions can cause vastly different outcomes in a chaotic system: "a butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazon, which eventually causes a hurricane in Florida".
I got the _EFFECT category immediately today, thanks to BUTTERFLY and DOMINO, and then it was easy sailing from there with the rest of the categories.
Wait is definitely a little longer today, nice solve doug.
You cleared the board without using a guess. Took almost an interminable indecision to nab a 2nd correct answer but it went smooth after that. I've always associated butterfly effect with chaos theory but time travel? Really? Where that came from?
You're correct about the butterfly effect. I believe the premise of the movie was that when the main character went back in time to change some small detail in his life, that little change had large and unforseen consequences on his present (which is now his new future).
You get 4 points. "Superficial" or skin deep also can apply to houses. I made one error being fooled by the red herrings "Swim Strokes."
Youre late
Yup. Weird.
Cut the man some slack. You'll be OK.
