Great work, Sonja!

I could swear I guessed all the magazine names at one point, but I guess Connections doesn't lie. The pop words, however, were only vaguely famous -- I thought "bubblegum" was more like a synonym for pop than a sub-genre.

I only got the pop references because they were the leftovers. What was really tricky was the single letters. One of them "O" is a magazine, one belongs to the pop category and two (M and Q) are Bond characters. Very tricky!

Solid, but it drove me nuts.

I only got the pop references because they were the leftovers. What was really tricky was the single letters. One of them "O" is a magazine, one belongs to the pop category and two (M and Q) are Bond characters. Very tricky!

The O I recognized because I saw magazines. I've heard of Q, but not of M, so I had to check. Apparently those are abbreviation of those characters' job titles, not their names. Luckily they didn't have A, which could be seen as a single letter or a negation, like IN NON UN, etc.

I did the Connections on my phone, because I was showing a friend how to play and we did it together. I think we got one wrong but did solve it in the end.

We also played Flashback and got two wrong with that. She doesn't have a NYT subscription so I just read them aloud.

Thanks, Lee!
