I actually got purple first because widen-Biden and vixen-Nixon just jumped out at me so when I spotted the other two, I knew they were right. I’m usually not that great at Connections so maybe it’s because I can make weird connections but not obvious ones!
I got the purple category last but somehow figured out the rhymes before I revealed it - probably the only time I've outdone Chris in that regard! And I'm neither a native English speaker nor an American, going to strut around proudly for the rest of the day!
Smarter, cooler, bomber, and whip all contain kind of outdated ways of saying “awesome!” or something. I got hung up on that for a sec. I never would have gotten purple either.
Sure. I actually got it fairly quickly though, so IMO it wasn't terrible. "Pagan" just stuck out to me, as did "Vixen". Some word association later and I got it.
Agreed. I feel like these sorts of categories need to fit into a sort of “double category”. Like if you want words that rhyme with us presidents, then narrow the scope a bit. How about “parts of a car that rhymes with US presidents” (not that this category is actually possible, but it’s just an off the top of my head example).

Connections Puzzle #592 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 This is odd and I can’t believe purple came to me first. Helps to be a political junkie and an old lady.

This one just absolutely had my number, got the yellow and that was it.
You asked… I DID figure out the “rhymes with President names” before I hit ‘submit’! Feeling good!
Rainbow order, neat and tidy.
"Whip" can mean to decisively win or beat somebody (e.g. in sports or a debate), so it kind of fit into "Outdo"

Hah - I guess not many people found my 'Hat' category : Top , Fedora , Basket , Bomber
Nice spot!
I did too!
I even thought Nixon when reading Vixen. But i never saw any of the others rhymes!
I thought of Biden and Nixon, but dismissed it because they had different numbers of letters changed🤦
Smarter, cooler, bomber, and whip all contain kind of outdated ways of saying “awesome!” or something. I got hung up on that for a sec. I never would have gotten purple either.
If the only way to solve a category is by solving the other three, then it's a poorly designed category.
Worst purple ever.
Hear, hear!
I don't know about "worst", but disgustingly arbitrary for sure.

Pagan as Reagan just doesn’t make sense

I had just played a bit of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle two minutes before doing this Connections
