Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Why the paired names are tricky
Two groups draw on duo names, but they use opposite selection rules: blue takes the second name from real-life pairs, while purple takes the first name from cartoon pairs. INKY and PINKY may also bring Pac-Man characters to mind, as can CLYDE; that association alone does not identify either Connections group. Check each tile against the complete category rule.
