Felt tough for me today. Wasn’t seeing anything after I’d found yellow.

I got purple right away because I couldn’t think of what else went with ‘lute’ so I kept saying it out loud.
Oh damn that’s a good strategy. It always takes me ages to find homophone & sound connections.
Out of interest, I don’t think I’ve seen you post Connections before, although you’ve been on !dailygames@lemmy.zip a heap. Did you only see the post for the first time today? I wonder if that’s because you may have bots disabled on your Lemmy account, so you can’t see the bot that I normally use to make posting easier?
I play Connections daily but only saw the post for it today. I do have bot accounts disabled.
Oh interesting. Well, we’d love to have you in the daily posts by @DailyGameBot@lemmy.zip.
fwiw, having run with bots enabled for some time now, the number of annoying or spammy bots is miniscule. It’s very easy to block the individual offending accounts (like that Reddit reposter account) rather than blocking bots wholesale.

🟨🟨🟨🟨I was a little wrong in my guess for green and even more wrong in blue, but I had enough of a general idea in both to make the connection.
Spoilers
Green I thought was just “animals used as metaphors”, because to my knowledge bull and bear are economics, but hawk and dove are foreign policy, not econ.
Blue I thought was things you might talk about when you first meet someone.

I’d never heard of economic hawk and dove either, but they seemed opposite like bull and bear. The only other animal was doe and I couldn’t think of much that could be a metaphor for. I enjoyed purple today though.
green
Apparently hawk and dove in economics are to do with monetary policy, in particular about whether they prioritise keeping inflation rates low or other policies.

Easy one for me today!
Connections Puzzle #728 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨Doing it myself by hand today instead of the bot, because I’m in the middle of moving and haven’t got my computer set back up yet.
Oh it was you responsible for the bot? I appreciate knowing that, it’s more personal! Thanks for posting the game either way. (Today I sucked at it ha)
