Is purple typically the hardest?
Itβs listed as such, but I find it varies. Sometimes it just clicks in my head.

I literally have no idea what blue is talking about...
Blue
Means there's a lot of a thing.
Pack is fairly obvious.
"A whole host of reasons" is a fairly common phrase to mean someone has a lot of reasons for a decision.
"Sea" is a bit less common, but you might say something like "he looked down upon a sea of friendly faces".
"Drove" is honestly one I would consider wrong, but only on a technicality. I would consider this sense of drove to be a "lost singular", in the way that "evitable" is a lost positive (from the real negative "inevitable") or "whelmed" is a lost form from under- and overwhelmed. You never see "a drove of" something, but you do see something "in droves".
Great explanation!
Tap for spoiler
I do agree with you regarding drove vs droves, but thatβs something Connections does sometimes. I think they sacrifice accuracy to avoid giving a hint (in this case that itβs more than one). I canβt name other examples off the top of my head, but Iβve definitely noticed it before.
I have definitely seen it do things that I didn't agree with mainly because they weren't a part of my dialect before (I can't recall a very good example of that, but one that is kinda similar but not quite was when they used "deli" to mean a place that sells sandwiches: where I live, delis tend to sell the meats that would go on a sandwich, but not the bread...so like ham, salami, that kind of thing), but I don't think I've ever seen an example where the use in their preferred dialect it still required some fudging to get it to work.
Thanks for the walkthrough, what a journey.

First time playing. Took me a minute to understand what was meant by connection.
I was trying to do word chains at first lol.
Like; ice cold -> cold shower -> shower curtain -> etc.
