🟦🟦🟦🟦Damn rainbow herring suckered me in! Nice puzzle after that… 😎👍
This was difficult.

Connections Puzzle #978 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪I disagree with one of the purples today.
Spoiler
Reseed and recede are not homophones because the stress is placed on different syllables. It’s REseed vs reCEDE.
With me we disagree with 3 of them then.
🟪
Lesson I say the o and lessen I say the e. Sure, the sounds are not stressed or anything, but I hear the difference between them.
Sync and sink might be my quirk, I say the sound ee as in seen, so sounds more like seenc to me.
That thumbnail is funny, I guess each group must be a single tile so it’s pretty easy
Yeah idk why, but NYT just cannot stop fiddling with their site’s HTML structure. Just after I finally released a fix to show the screenshot correctly after their previous addition of cookie banners, they change how the cookie banner displays so that fix doesn’t work anymore.
Thankfully it was easy enough to fix and today’s Connections went up with a working screenshot.

🟪🟪🟪🟪It’s funny how a seeing or falling for a rainbow herring actually gives you a clue because you know each word has to be in a separate category

- 🟨 That was quite straight forward;
- 🟩 I was sure this was purple like national ___;
- 🟦 This was quite clear, but I cheated a little
I saw kent, camel and parliament quickly. Salem sounded most like a cigarette brand so I googled “salem cigarettes”.
To be fair, we don’t have them in my country. - 🟪 I don’t pronounce lesson and sync in a way that fits the category.

Was never getting blue. Not heard of two of those here. Purple was a bit awkward too.
