Was patient enough to get purple.
Nothing for the longest time then voila

Yesterday's Pair Pressure (#81): 📆🧩❓

Heads up — yesterday's puzzle went live late. The developer (hi 👋) forgot to push the update. Rookie move.

Once it was up: 10 emojis matched to their real cultural meanings. Did 🎻 / World's Smallest Violin get you? And did you catch why Emoji Day is July 17? It's the date shown on the 📅 calendar emoji on Apple devices.

@Synsidar I guess I don't get the 'doing research' bit. I either know the connection or I don't.

@Synsidar I enjoy everything linguistic, especially the unexpected 'connections' between words. I think it might be the most perfect short form daily game ever created.

(No I don't work for the NYT nor know any of the puzzle editors.)

@TWEAKAMANN It's always a gut punch when that happens.

@BWIABB Maybe the BS is a feature not a bug?

@ignitesthestars One of the most admirable things about Connections is how sneaky the red herrings can be!

Yesterday's Pair Pressure (#78): Dun-dun... dun-dun. 🦈

10 shark species, split in half. Rated difficult — and if Spotted Wobbegong didn't stop you cold, you're lying. ("Wobbegong" comes from an Aboriginal Australian word meaning "shaggy beard.")

Fun fact: Cookiecutter sharks are only 20 inches long but take perfectly circular bites out of whales — and have damaged sonar domes on US Navy submarines.
