First Connection: "Cowboy" in Film and Music

One of the first patterns that stood out to me was related to cowboy references in film and music:

  • Rhinestone Cowboy

  • Midnight Cowboy

  • Drugstore Cowboy

  • Space Cowboy

This felt like a strong grouping, and sure enough, I was correct! The category was "Words before 'Cowboy' in Film and Music." A solid start!

Second Connection: Symbols of Luck

Next, I noticed a collection of words associated with good luck:

  • Shamrock

  • Horseshoe

  • Penny

  • Ladybug

These are all commonly believed to bring fortune, and sure enough, they formed the yellow category: "Things Associated with Good Luck." Another successful connection!

Third Connection: Compound Words with "To-"

Now, things got trickier. I focused on some words that seemed to follow a compound word pattern:

  • Toolbox

  • Sunset

  • Towboat

  • Toll booth

  • Tomboy

I initially included Sunset, but after some trial and error, I realized that Tomboy was the key word. The correct grouping was:

  • Toll booth

  • Toolbox

  • Towboat

  • Tomboy

These were compound words that start with "To-", which made up the green category: "Compound Words Beginning with 'To-'"—a tricky one!

Fourth Connection: Broadway Musicals

The final set of words left were:

  • Phantom

  • Merrily

  • Sunset

  • Fiddler

I recognized these as references to Broadway musicals:

  • Phantom (Phantom of the Opera)

  • Merrily (Merrily We Roll Along)

  • Sunset (Sunset Boulevard)

  • Fiddler (Fiddler on the Roof)

This completed the blue category: "Broadway Musicals (Familiarly)."

Final Thoughts

This was a challenging but rewarding puzzle! The trickiest part was the compound word structure in the green category, but overall, I felt pretty good about my performance. I’d say I scored three and a half out of four, since I recognized the compound words but missed the exact pattern.

Let me know in the comments how you did with today’s Connections puzzle! I’d love to hear your thoughts and strategies. Let's keep the discussion going—it's always fun to chat about these puzzles.

Thanks for joining me today, and I’ll see you tomorrow for another round of Connections!
