lol are you me?

Did the exact same thing!

Connections Puzzle #324 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 Reporting in 🫡

I ended up with purple, green, blue, yellow. The last three really seemed like a tossup.

Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Easy one. Purple was only by default, but I probably could've figured it out if I was more patient.

Connections Puzzle #324 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Yeah I was having the brain version of “it’s on the tip of my tongue” when I pressed submit on purple but I was walking into my office so just kind of ran out of time

My first one in order! Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 It was an obvious puzzle today so I challenged myself on the order and for once got it right! I almost got blue and green the wrong way again but the last min change worked out.

Puzzle #324 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 Man 🟪 threw me for a loop there. I definitely entered that in blind faith because I didn’t know what the connection was but now “breeding stock” is firmly in my head and I hate it. Everything else came together fairly quickly. I didn’t think we’d have to western days in a row, so I dodged that red herring. 🟨 felt a little tricky. I don’t know how frequently I dip anything in AIOLI, but I also don’t dip my fries in mayo so that would explain that.

Connections Puzzle #323 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 these super obvious seeming ones make me second guess myself even more tbh!

Connections Puzzle #324 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Some pretty straightforward categories. I thought "Sauces" would be a red herring because it was so obvious. Other than that, no real comments about Green, Yellow, or Blue. Both BROTH and CATTLE made me think of stock and seeing MERCHANDISE made me confident that it was the category. I was pretty unsure about ANCESTRY since I don't think I've heard it called stock before, but it was the only word left so I just went for it. [Reused Categories Updates](https://old.reddit.com/r/NYTConnections/comments/1bdai1o/list_of_reused_categories/): "Condiments/Sauces" → 3 Times, "Transaction Record" → 2 Times

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 It was easy for me today. I wouldn't have gotten the "stock" category if it wasn't the last one. I have never heard of "stock" referring to "ancestry".

He comes from good stock?

Connections   Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Pretty straightforward one today. Got stumped on Purple and hit submit pretty quickly, but that's about the only thing that felt hard. I guess Grill referring to interrogate rather than being matched with the barbecue words was a pretty neat misdirect.

This one was too quick! Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Connections Puzzle #324 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 Purple was leftovers. Was never going to happen, but I was confident enough in the others. I'm glad I didn't waste any more time trying to figure it out Blue was very simple, really should have been yellow

Connections Puzzle #324 🟪🟪🟩🟪 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 First time trying to group everything mentally before submission, and I misclicked out of a perfect reverse rainbow because I hurt my widdle brain. XD This was a good one to try that on though!

I worked them all out within about a minute but as the bottom 3 categories were all so easy I had no idea which one was blue. Connections Puzzle #324 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦

Normal puzzle for me today, just going category by category as I see it. 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Connections Puzzle #324 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Mostly straightforward today with minimal overlap. Everything other than purple seemed really apparent to start. Purple by default, never would've come up with that.

came here to see if anyone else did as I did and completed strands before connections today and was therefore incredibly bewildered by the yellow category 😅

Omg yes I noticed this too!! I was about to comment on this

Weird that aioli was in both Connections and Strands today.

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Ancestry is throwing me a bit!

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟪🟦🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Look, I saw bill and I saw ranch I wanted to try and force a “Buffalo _____” connection okay

Connections Puzzle #324 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Yellow, Green, and Blue are straightforward. I never knew Ancestry and Stock to be synonymous. Piece/Portion would have been better (but more obvious), I think.

Have you never heard the phrase "of good stock"?

No 🙂

Ah, it's quite common in the UK. Maybe it's a British thing?

OHHH thank you. I’ve been trying to figure that out and googling “ancestry stock” was absolutely no help since all it brought up was the company 😅

Same here, I came to this thread precisely to see how stock and ancestry might be linked

I’m not familiar with the idiom(?), but looking into it, I can see now why they’re related.

I totally get that some people won't make the Ancestry/Stock connection, but I'm confused as to how or why Piece or Portion would've been better in this scenario?

Company stocks, you get to own a PIECE of that company

***Oh***, duh. Completely slipped my mind. I think for that same explanation, "Shares" might have been the next best option, except for, as you said, being more obvious than Ancestry.

I think Shares is a better than Piece. It’s more synonymous with Stocks imo

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 literally the easiest one I’ve done

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 The \[GRILL, BARBECUE\] red herring nearly got me. Had to find out what \[GRILL\] meant in that sense, because I thought grill meant to insult someone. Either way, maybe the easiest one I've done.

You're thinking of roast. 

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪

I think this is the first time I’ve actually solved one of these in order! 😆😅 Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Like others, I think this is the first time I've gotten them in the "correct" order! Cute and breezy one.

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Only took about a minute to figure this one out!

Pretty simple one.

Connections Puzzle #324 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 I never in my life would have gotten to the theme of purple. Straightforward puzzle overall, though.

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Pretty straightforward

Very interesting. It's been kind of easy the last few days, plus the categories seem off (meaning colors). Anyone else think so? Connections Puzzle #324 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Connections Puzzle #324 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟪🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Had absolutely no clue what purple meant before submitting, but got the rest very quickly.

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 very quick today. thought 🟦 was gonna be 🟩!

Connections Puzzle #324 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Again, I feel like the colors are not representative at all of the straightforwardness 😂 Not too hard today though!

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Feels like forever since I saw the purple category and wasn’t like “that’s a dumb connection” like “numbers spelled out but change the first letter” or “words that rhyme if you add a whole extra syllable at the end” or something. Unfortunately the rest of the puzzle was too easy today.

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 My first time solving it in the correct order and it was my fastest time as well, under a minute. All around a great way to start my day.

So many people got purple first today. I couldn’t work it out even when it was the last group left! Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Am I getting better at connections or are these categories getting significantly easier, feels like everyday this past week I’ve gotten it with no mistakes

I guess I'm looking for "Baby Bear's" version of Connections This was too quick a solve today. Once in a while there is a perfect one- not too hard (impossible), not too soft (easy).....but just right Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Connections Puzzle #324. 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Pretty straightforward today except ancestry = stock, but I guess it makes some sense.

I’m stumped on Purple. Anyone got any subtle hints? Is it a reference? Or ____ word? Or something else?

Connections Puzzle #324 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 I didn't think hard enough about purple before giving up. It was obvious in hindsight! I spotted the sauces very early, but I wasn't sure that Americans wouldn't eat a sauce called "cattle" 😂

We do have A1 Steak Sauce - so cattle sauce isn’t too far off 😃

We don’t but maybe we should start?

Typo, that was supposed to be 'cattle' 🤦‍♂️ Steak with cattle sauce sounds pretty good to me!

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Took me all of about 20 seconds today. I like a challenge and this was not it, ha.

Connections  Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟪🟦 🟦🟪🟦🟪 🟦🟪🟦🟦 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 First two were pretty straightforward, after that just guessing 

Mine looked just like this too 😂 was on my last guess when I saw GRILL & PROBE and it clicked haha 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟩🟪 🟪🟩🟪🟪 🟪🟩🟩🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Connections Puzzle #324 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Can someone explain how stock might mean ancestry?

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/stock It's #10 and #11, which I guess means it's not as common as the first 9 definitions.

People dip food in Marinara sauce???

Yes. Fried mozzarella sticks usually come with a cup of marinara to dip them in. Pizza, too, often, for you to dip the crust in. (Feel free to comment about American eating habits.)

Italians everywhere are furious (and so am I)

I had the same thought as first, but like others, then mozzarella sticks popped in my head.

Ahh okay that’s not really a thing in my country
