FourPlay - A Game of Connections

I love listening to this podcast! I hear the phrase “between the four” “Between the two” more than that is ‘among’ the three, four etc.

My family and I love writing down the clues and figuring out the puzzle before listening. This week our answer seemed to make more sense to us than the official answer. 1) Get,support,street,scratcher - Back 2) finger,Jackson,footlong,Johnny - Five 3) heating,wheelhouse,table,feature - Water 4) bag,March,stop,Franklin - Dime Overall - Drop Drop Back Drop Five (see urban dictionary) Water Drop Drop a Dime

This is a great quiz format and writing the puzzles sounds very difficult. But the rules seem to vary based on the puzzle writers. Gary was the pioneer and wrote his clues almost like crossword puzzle clues. The latest writer makes you do mental gymnastics to make the clues connect (example. Blind science isn’t a phrase but we were supposed to think of Blinded Me With Science as the connection). It’s not as much fun if you don’t trust the writer to stick to the rules.

Love this podcast. Puzzles are challenging, but not impossible. Carmela is a great host and the guests are fun. Just wish it was more than once a week!
