Will that count ? . In d original one Rivets was included . That usually used in Jeans and bags more . So I went with pair of trousers

Glad it's Primary colours. I thought it must be do something with electrical wires .

Everyone mentioned 4 , 5 tough

Those were easiest one to google and it gave answers in platter

Anyways I feel like running away after reading Round 3

Yes trousers works as well. Basically any type of pants.

And here are the answers, with themes for this round! You did not need to get the exact theme to get the bonus points, but you had to be close. For example, if you wrote colours instead of primary colours I counted that. But if you just wrote type of weathers instead of wet weather, that wouldn't count.

1. Primary colours: red, blue, yellow
   Musical forms: jazz, hip hop, classical
   Microsoft software: Word, Excel, PowerPoint
2. Keyboard keys: option, shift, return
   Footwear: boot, loafer, pump
   Web browser menus: file, history, window
3. Wet weather: hail, snow, sleet
   Synonyms for sad: blue, down, low
   Features on a pair of jeans: button, fly, pocket
4. Palindromes: kayak, level, mom
   Letter homophones: are, queue, sea
   Homophones of units of measure: carrot, hurts, jewel
5. Tarot cards that start with “the”: fool, magician, lovers
   Magazines: Time, People, Essence
   Associated with #2: deputy, pencil, silver medal

Yay! All correct. So glad.

Though I play spelling bee sometimes I am not that good in it so if I send you only 1 or 2 words (that too if I can frame them within 5 minutes) will I be eliminated?

It really depends on how other people do. For example, for Round 2 I had originally set a minimum required score of 15 points with or without bonus points. But there were many people who were at or below that so I adjusted my elimination requirement. Right now for spelling bee I have a minimum score set, but if the majority of people are either below that or close to that or really high up, I'll adjust accordingly.

Phew I qualified. My questions/thoughts on this.

On #1, #2, #3 - yes those count.

On #4 - all thanks to my memory and NY Times.

On $5 - maybe it's a North America thing but here the pencils usually have a #2 on them. It's literally called Pencil #2. I'm talking about the typical yellow ones that you use in school.

No she had a good Google. A few people told me that #4 and #5 were on Reddit and a site that had shared every Connections game to date. I was surprised more people didn't find it and get a perfect 50 this round.
