Congrats on your reverse rainbow. both you and Oranje managed that and I noticed both of you mapped out the entire puzzle in short order. Wow. I could not do that. I did get a perfect solve but I also struggled. I thought it was difficult because I had trouble finding the yellow and eventually settled on green as a clean fit for the first category, though I described this as "various ways to describe collectibles" which misses the mark. Maybe give me a half point for that. I *did * see light blue earlier on but I didn't enter it, but after green I decided it had to be a category. This one I described as "dealing with winter (snow and ice)". Left with yellow and purple, it was very easy to decide Dr. Octopus must be a thing as it sure as heck wasn't going into the yellow category which I simply described as "Jab". I actually said to myself "Didn't we just have Doctors?" Well no, we actually had Misters the other day. I have not really heard BARB and CRACK used in the putdown context. BARB makes sense in hindsight, but CRACK? I thought that you crack a joke but I'm not sure that's the same thing. The other two, yes. This was the first Connections of the new administration so it feels good getting the perfect solve, even though I took considerably longer than you and Oranje and I didn't get the reverse rainbow.
You and Oranje obviously had your REVERSE RAINBOWS, Art. Again, I can relate more to Doug and Kenny with my skills in Connections . I am more of a Wordle person as you know. I did talk to Michelle and perhaps some of you can keep track of the number of people getting Forward/Reverse RAINBOWS on a daily basis. I am still accomplishing goals for this year such as improving my diet and doing the exercising. The weather here in Ohio this morning is even colder with the temperature being at zero degrees and the wind chill being 13 below zero. Different ones including myself enjoyed chatting with Oranje last night. I see both of you and others having a good year. Continue to stay safe/warm with this CRAZY weather. I am ALREADY looking forward to the Spring. 😎
Blue police box for Dr Who, something that doesn't exist in the USA, or in the UK any more. Id never heard of Dr Octopus it just was the only viable candidate from what i had left. A very rare 2 for me on Wordle, CAIRN ICING.

Dr Octopus (known more commonly as Doc Ock) is one of the villains from Spiderman with the 8 mechanical arms
Art, as I turn 50 today, I have a new "recrudescence" on life! Happy Jan 21 :-)

Agree---I called it snowfighting which we're having to do 2nd time in 2 weeks, here in Ga a rarity

Point of order - UK phone boxes were scarlet. Dr Who had a Police Box , which were dark blue.
I feel he has to deduct 2 points for calling it red police box

The ad also happened at the same time for me. He could probably change the timing of the mid-roll ad if he wanted to. 😊
Good job with your games, Ellen. I see you and Oranje having a good year. 😊
