I'm not sure where to even start. I'm guessing I'm overthinking?

I did so bad, I'm not even sharing. One clue though is that none of the connections have to do with names.

 

[pablow]

I stared at it for 15 minutes before any connection appeared. And, even then it's WTF all the way thru.

When I looked at it I thought it was gonna be the toughest one ever. Then got the first category and they fell into place pretty easily.

I'm working on it but on my way to Chicago. I figured that part out and have 2 of them.

Edit- also angry I'm missing yet another Iowa home game.

That's 2 in a row I failed. On the road, in a hurry, not conducive to my success!

Failed yesterday and today didn't look good. Figured out the first 4 and then they fell into place.

Took one look at the name puzzle from a couple days ago and decided my brain would explode if I even attempted it. So took a weekend break from connections. Came back fired up this morning and botched the first couple guesses. Keep your mental conditioning sharp y’all!

Number one rule is if there are 5 or more good choices for a perceived category, you need to see if one or more them fit in another category. If i didn’t do that I probably also would behave missed a guess or two on yellow….

I know and usually I follow that. There was slight logic to my first guess, but then I couldn’t get it out of my head when I missed and I doubled down - which was really stupid.

 

[lonestar50]

Took a long time to get the first 2. Then an even longer time to get the next 2. I actually just used the one away clue because I saw no connection

Just when you are off by one it will flash one away... then I'd try it again to try and figure out which one was wrong. Not really a clue
