The top center word took me an embarrassingly long time to unscramble. Everything else was almost immediate

I haven't played much Connections this year, but that purple category is one of the more oddly specific category titles I've seen.

Anyone else do the Mini Crossword? I've been doing it daily for a while. This is my time for Saturday's (usually the slightly bigger one for the week) as it updates before midnight: 3:36

I've kind of stopped doing daily puzzles. Used to like a few wordle variants and some sudokus. Pips is keeping my interest for now, but idk for how long.

Tbh, I'd like to do more cryptics, but I don't want to spend the time learning and internalizing the rules. They do seem fun otherwise.

I recommend it. The rules aren't really all that complicated.

Like cryptics will seem like nonsensical alchemy but when you know how they work, you can pretty much always see where the answers came from.

I tried it a couple days ago when you posted about it. The answer did make sense afterwards for sure. It could be more that maybe I'm not that into verbal puzzles.

I'll give it another shot later. These things tend to grab me at the get go or not at all. Sadly it's probably the latter for me for this one.

I did it today and took hints that I already figured out. I just didn't think hard enough on the definition one.
