  mistakes

I
nearly
failed
today’s
Connections
puzzle,
only
completing
the
final
group
on
my
final
guess.
But
in
my
defence,
a
couple
of
them
were
very
US-centric
connections
that
I
couldn’t
be
expected
to
solve,
given
that
I’m
not
in
the
US
and
have
never
lived
there.

Those
groups
were
blue
and
purple,
and
blue
in
particular
was
simply
impossible;
I’ve
heard
of
a
Philly
CHEESESTEAK
but
have
no
idea
what
SPROUTS,
WINGS
and
BROIL
refer
to.
Similarly,
on
the
purple
group
I
was
able
to
correctly
find
the
__DERBY
group
via
DEMOLITION,
KENTUCKY
and
SOAP
BOX,
but
guessed
ROLLER
rather
than
HOME
RUN.
I
presume
the
latter
is
related
to
baseball
in
some
way,
so
probably
should
have
spotted
it
as
a
possibility
sooner.

How
did
you
do
today?

Send
me
an
email
and
let
me
know.
