    The thing which I hate about this game is its American focused knowledge.

    !I know Billboard, but none of the others.

    I often win, simply by leaving the american questions until last, but when I need to pick between Knife, Fork, Spoon, Plate, Cup, I’m fucked!<

      Lemmy doesn’t use Reddit’s spoiler syntax. You need to do:

      ::: spoiler [visible spoiler explanation text]
      [Text to be hidden inside the spoiler]
      :::
      

      But anyway, yeah. I had the same problem today, I knew the one you did and one other, but I even did some googling and decided that category must be wrong because I couldn’t find a third, let alone fourth. I just got purple by sheer dumb luck.

      Blue ones I knew

      I knew Billboard and Pitchfork were music review websites.

        Interesting that you permit yourself to googling. I consider it against the spirit of the game, but I’m more than happy to ask another person if they know.

          Yeah I often use Wiktionary to look for definitions that might not jump out to me, or Google if I think something might be a TV show or movie. Usually it’s only if I already have a suspicion that the word might belong to a specific category but want to confirm it.

    omg I got incredibly lucky. Didn’t notice that there were 5 possible entries in purple. Planned out my answers in Connections Copilot and planned it out wrong. But then accidentally entered the right answer into the real website
