Does anyone else just feel like some words go together but can't really articulate why until seeing the category they belong to? This happened to me for all except blue (unicorn grp). Didn't even realize blue had that very obvious thing, oh well.

Not today, but I've definitely had that experience before.

How does Africa/Burler have a horn?

Is it referring to the Toto song?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago

Spoilers

The Horn of Africa is the name for the peninsula occupied largely by Somalia & Somaliland.

A bugle is a brass instrument related to the trumpet. You wouldn't call it a horn in an orchestral context, but in other contexts it could be. In jazz and popular music, any woodwind or brass would be part of the "horn section". And in a historical military context any smallish roundish brass instrument could be a horn, it just needs to perform a signalling function.

Purple threw me off for a sec

Spoilers

I recognised the names of Jeremy Irons and Jeff Bridges pretty quickly, and was looking for movies that they might both be in. But eventually noticed the last two and tentatively put them together as a category.

Luckily, Kevin Bacon never occurred to me until after I had finished.

Give this one a 5/5 for how reasonableness and accessibility of the connections.

I was very confident about yellow but could not tell why. I'm glad my instincts paid off.

Blue is the one that threw me, but once I caught purple I understood it.
