I got Blue and only one more try for Connections. It shouldn't be as difficult as I'm making it.
Whomp whomp!

No extras, but I completely cheated. I have very little knowledge on the subject matter. After I got halfway through, I had to look up the types in order to complete the puzzle.

On a separate note, I just noticed women's soccer is 10 v. 10. I'm wondering what other differences exist.

Never mind. I misunderstood what they were showing on the screen during the UEFA Women's Euro 2025. It's 11 per side, as it should be.

I've got purple and two guesses remaining.

Yeah, I got the spangram and nothing else so far. Also not my area of expertise.

Tough puzzles today.

No cheating, but it wasn't pretty.

I'm not sure I would have gotten the last three words with just a hint alone. Never even heard of two of those words.

The last 2 were just guessing. In fact, the word I got the second hint on was actually the last one I found. I was guessing with the remaining letters and just happened to guess them in the right order.

Well done. After knowing the answer it didn't seem all that difficult, but I struggled with it.
