Okay this is the first one that had me kinda frustrated-

SpoilerIs 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?

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.

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.

I guess if it overlaps with every other category then you only have to find a second one to prove it was a red herring, which makes it feel less unfair. But to me it still doesn't feel like I'm playing the game wrong by finding a clear connection and submitting it to take it off the board...

I guess the designers or people who make the puzzle for each day disagree
