I don’t know the connection there, but sometimes they put red herrings. Like, one time it was “up, down, left, right” which obviously are directions or whatever; but each was actually part of a different connection.
Yeah, exactly. I think the idea is that the red herring might be a legit connection, but you won’t be able to solve any other connections if you keep it.
I guess if it overlaps with every other category then you only have to find a second one to prove it was a red herring, which makes it feel less unfair. But to me it still doesn’t feel like I’m playing the game wrong by finding a clear connection and submitting it to take it off the board…
I guess the designers or people who make the puzzle for each day disagree
Theyre all types of beans. I guess if you solve everything in advance then red herrings that 100% make sense and could be correct answers make sense, but the game isn’t designed as if it’s only correct to play by finding everything everything first, so it doesn’t feel like I’m doing anything wrong by selecting a correct answer and submitting it to take it off the board
Edit: if the red herring overlaps with every group like here so you don’t have to find everything to know it’s the red herring, that at least makes it feel a bit less unfair. I still don’t really feel like I’m playing the game wrong by submitting a clear connection though. I guess the designers disagree.
