Okay this is the first one that had me kinda frustrated- ::: spoiler Spoiler Is it just me or is there a whole ass correct answer that doesn't count, in "pinto, kidney, lima, navy". None of those are misspellings or anything right?? Why is there an entirely correct answer that doesn't count as a connection? That feels kinda bs to me.
Like it's fine if it's almost an answer, or it looks kinda like an answer but isn't, or there are three that clearly fit and the last is a stretch, but there really shouldn't be 100% correct answers that loose you a life, right?? Am I missing something? :::
There should only ever be one way you can solve the whole puzzle. But for there to be a full red herring category which, if you were to use it, would make it impossible to get the other three categories is well within the spirit of the puzzle IMO.
I feel like that that treats submitting individual connections like the wrong way to play. Obviously there's nothing wrong with finding everything first and putting them after but the game isn't designed as though doing otherwise is playing it wrong
Its just feels bad on such an explicit and clear connection, on a different day that could be a right answer and I don't feel like I was playing incorrectly by submitting it before finding every other category
I dunno, maybe I'm being unreasonable
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.
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.
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

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.
